Junior Furniture Designer (Product Design)

About the job

Arath is a Mumbai-based direct-to-consumer solid wood furniture brand (operated under Neermaan Design Studio), crafting beds, sofas, dining sets, consoles, and more in solid teak and mango wood. We manufacture made-to-order through our Jodhpur unit and also produce furniture for projects led by interior designers and architects. We are an early-stage company building our core team. This is a ground-floor role with direct founder mentorship and room to grow into design ownership.

Key Responsibilities

1. Develop working/shop drawings for furniture pieces based on designer and architect references, ready for factory production, including dimensions, joinery, materials, and finishes (W x D x H in mm).

1. Create original furniture designs for Arath's own collection, including beds, sofas, dining tables, consoles, and chairs, as the role evolves.

1. Coordinate with the Jodhpur manufacturing unit regarding production queries and detailing.

1. Conduct occasional site visits to verify furniture delivery and installation quality (minor, design-adjacent; not a site supervision role).

1. Maintain an organized library of designs, drawings, and specifications.

This is a hands-on role mentored directly by the founder, who brings over 15 years of experience across the furniture value chain. You will gain ownership of real design work early and learn the full cycle from concept to drawing, factory production, and site execution.

Skill(s) required

AutoCAD Google SketchUp

Other requirements

1. Diploma or degree in Furniture Design, Product Design, Industrial Design, or a closely related field.

1. Hands-on with AutoCAD/2D drafting; 3D skills (SketchUp, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Rhino) are a strong plus.

1. A genuine eye for proportion, detail, and material — candidates who have actually built or detailed a piece (not only rendered) preferred.
