Job Description
Industrial Designer Location New York, NY : Vessel is building the future of housing. We're combining breakthrough design, advanced manufacturing, and first-principles thinking to solve one of the world's most urgent challenges: creating sustainable, attainable housing for all. This isn't just construction. It's a reimagining of how people live.

You'll collaborate with engineers, architects, and production teams to turn early concepts into something that can be manufactured without losing the soul of the design.

- Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design or a related field
- Proven ability to take a product from one-off prototype to scalable production
