Careers at Bellroy
Product Development Engineer

IN A NUTSHELL

We're obsessed with creating products that people love using and will continue to do so for a long time. Since launching our first six wallets 14 years ago, we've expanded to release 50+ new products annually across various categories, each thoughtfully designed and carefully engineered. We're growing and searching for a Product Development Engineer who can help us keep innovating without compromising on what matters.

As an integral member of our growing product development team, you’ll focus on our wallets, pouches, and tech accessory ranges. You’d work to take drawings and concepts from our Design team, refining and engineering them in order to bring them into the physical world. When you receive a new design, you'll need a hands-on approach (think 3D CAD, printing, testing and prototyping) and will be responsible for shaping it into something practical, realistic and production-friendly, all while maintaining its original integrity and character.

Bring us your practical expertise, desire for improvement and problem-solving mind. In return, we’ll provide you with stretch goals, the chance to develop products you are proud of and an award-winning company culture to be a part of.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU…

  • Have 2-4 years of hands-on product development or design engineering experience, where you've focused more on the technical and manufacturing challenges than pure design (bonus points for moulded goods experience)
  • Love getting your hands dirty in the lab - prototyping, testing, and hacking things apart to understand how they work, believing that the best solutions come from doing rather than just theorising
  • Want to be part of a long-term product journey, where you can see your work through from idea to market, learn from real user feedback, and improve products over multiple iterations
  • Are skilled in 3D CAD, injection moulding, and 3D printing, with experience taking products from concept through to manufacturing
  • Bring working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and technical software, paired with genuine curiosity about new manufacturing technologies and methods
  • Can manage complex projects and deadlines while maintaining strong documentation - you're the type who creates clear processes so things only need to be done once
  • Thrive in collaborative environments where you can bounce ideas off teammates and grow together
  • Can communicate clearly with people from all backgrounds (you’ll be interacting a lot with our overseas manufacturers so mandarin fluency would be a welcome bonus!)

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST MONTH YOU MIGHT HAVE…

  • Collaborated with the Product Design team to explore a stitchless wallet concept, brainstorming ways to bring it to life
  • Conducted an FMEA assessment on a project to identify high risk areas to focus on during product development
  • Developed drawings and 3D models for the tooling we might need and incorporating feedback from your manager to refine designs
  • Used our fully kitted out lab to proof-out the tooling and product construction process Created a reliability test plan tailored to a new product
  • Recognised an outdated packaging SOP, revised it to align with current practices, and shared it with relevant suppliers and warehouses
  • Conducted research on improving the coating durability on some of our metal hardware
  • Fine-tuned a camera opening on one of our phone cases to meet DFM requirements for injection moulding and assembly whilst maintaining the original design intent
  • Jumped on a call with our suppliers in China and suggested improvements after reviewing development samples
  • Integrated insights from customer service and returns data to engineer solutions for the next generation of products, with a focus on durability in high-stress areas

UNSERE MISSION

Wir finden neue Wege, um unbeschwerter unterwegs zu sein.
Wir nutzen unser Business als Antrieb für Gutes.
Wir helfen der Welt und unserem Team dabei, voranzukommen und aufzublühen.

Unsere Standorte

Der Name Bellroy ist eine Mischung aus unseren zwei Standorten – Bells Beach und Fitzroy. Bells Beach bringt entspannte Outdoor-Atmosphäre und schafft eine gute Abwechslung zum kreativ-urbanen Fitzroy. Die Stadt und das Meer, Inspiration und Abenteuer. Zusammen bilden sie ein perfektes Gleichgewicht.

Bells Beach

Unser Strandbüro ist malerisch zwischen majestätischen Sandsteinklippen gelegen, die einen atemberaubenden Blick auf eine der renommiertesten Surfregionen Australiens bieten. In diesem inspirierenden Umfeld arbeiten unsere Produktdesigner im Maker Lab an innovativen Lösungen, während unser Vertriebsteam sich in einer Atmosphäre von intensivem Espresso-Genuss und ständiger Skype-Kommunikation bewegt. Die Ruhe, die dieses Umfeld ausstrahlt, steht im Kontrast zu der Geschäftigkeit unserer Fitzroy-Nachbarn und fördert unsere Konzentration und Kreativität. Für eine schnelle Mahlzeit steht ein Café direkt nebenan zur Verfügung, und unser täglicher Surf-Check um 11 Uhr bietet die ideale Gelegenheit, den Kopf mit einer frischen Brise Meeresluft freizubekommen.

Fitzroy

Unser Standort in Fitzroy befindet sich mitten im kreativen Zentrum von Melbourne. Hier entwickeln unsere Kreativ-, Marketing-, Technik- und Betriebsteams Kampagnen und sorgen dafür, dass jedes Bellroy sicher in die Welt hinausgeschickt wird. Wenn du vor die Tür gehst, findest du Straßen voller Energie (und das beste Ramen-Restaurant diesseits von Tokio).

Ortsunabhängig

Abgesehen von unseren beiden Haupt-Standorten haben wir ein weltweites Team, welches von West-Australien, Teilen Asiens, den USA und Europa arbeitet. Der globale Gedanke ist das Herzstück von Bellroy, es hält uns zusammen und gewährleistet, dass wir das Leben von vielen Standpunkten aus betrachten können. Wenn du eine Internetverbindung hast und die Flexibilität Teil eines Teams zu werden, das du nicht jeden Tag siehst, kannst du dich unserem Netzwerk von Freelancern anschließen.
