Industrial Design Intern (Remote)

Company Description The Red Bridge Ventures Ltd is an early-stage UK hardware startup developing a premium, modular, multi-fuel outdoor cooking system. We are building the "Teenage Engineering" of outdoor cooking. About the Project & Role We are building a highly engineered, premium modular BBQ. We have a reference design with the internal physics and structural geometry proven, and now are looking for a talented Industrial Design (ID) intern to refine the "outside-in" user experience. We need to transform this highly functional, modular prototype into a highly desirable, market-ready consumer product. You will collaborate directly with our founder and lead mechanical engineer to transform this prototype into a highly desirable, market-ready consumer product guided by Dieter Rams' design principles. Contract & Availability Requirements Role: 3-Month Full-Time Remote Internship Stipend: ₹12,500 / month Strict Availability: You must be a recent graduate or currently on a dedicated 6-month industry gap semester. Active students with daytime university classes will not be considered. We require dedicated, full-time hours to match our rapid prototyping pace. Key Responsibilities Define the CMF strategy and soften industrial edges without compromising the established internal thermal architecture. Design intuitive, premium physical touchpoints: lifting handles, external latches, vent dials, and modular mounting points for future ecosystem expansions. Design within strict real-world DFM constraints, relying heavily on CNC laser cutting, press-brake folding ("industrial origami"), spot welding, and structural rivets. Produce high-quality, photorealistic renders (e.g., KeyShot) of the final product for use in pitch decks and early marketing. Requirements Background in Industrial/Product Design (e.g., NID, IDC IIT Bombay, MIT ID, etc.). Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360) and rendering software (KeyShot, Blender). A portfolio showcasing physical hardware products, materials, and form factor (not just UI/UX apps or soft goods). A solid understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes (CNC laser cutting and press brake folding) is highly desirable. How to Apply Please send a brief intro and a link to your portfolio highlighting physical consumer product designs. Applications missing portfolio will not be reviewed.
