**What’s the gist?**

As the Industrial Designer, you’re a hands-on executor and problem-solver, focused on bringing beautiful concepts into the real world. You live and breathe technical detail, translating design vision into precise documentation
- from intricate 3D renders to final manufacturer-ready technical drawings.

Extremely organised and detail-oriented, you're constantly thinking about how to source the perfect material, solve a complex engineering challenge, and ensure every product meets our rigorous quality and user experience standards. At the core of it, this is a highly technical and collaborative role that ensures Eva's innovative products make it successfully from concept design through to production.

**A day in the life looks like this**: **Concept Design**
