We are looking for a placement student to join our Industrial Design team for a 12-month period from Summer 2024.

We have a barn full of brilliant minds - each of us driven by a passion to improve lives. Team builds long-term trusting relationships with the world’s most innovative MedTech and Pharma clients.
Our 12-month placement
As our industrial design intern, you will sit within the design group, but will work as part of multi-disciplinary teams on a wide range of projects spanning product, packaging, information and digital design. We like to give you the opportunity to contribute to real projects and get involved in the whole development process from user studies through to client liaison.
Overseen by a mentor from the design team, your daily tasks will include brainstorming, sketching, 3D CAD, graphic layout, model making, rendering and presenting. We’re looking for someone with a flair for identifying and solving problems who can come up with perspectives that others might miss and to tell the story in a compelling way. You’ll have good attention to detail and enjoy justifying your design decisions.
