Jobs: Wemakethings – Product Design Intern
Looking to get involved with the BMX industry in the product design side of things? Well, here’s your chance to get involved with Wemakethings (the parent company of Wethepeople, Eclat, Almond Footwear, Salt & More) who are looking for a product design intern! Get the full details below!
“PRODUCT DESIGN INTERN (F/M)
Position for Product Design Intern at We Make Things, Cologne, Germany
Our company is one of the leaders in the BMX industry with involvement extending over 15 years. The core of the business is still based around BMX bicycles, this includes complete bikes and high-end aftermarket components that are sold around the world.
We’re looking for a student who’s excited and motivated in bringing carefully considered and technically brilliant products to reality. Being a small company you will be getting stuck in from the word go, so no tea making here. We will be looking for you to get up to speed quickly with the workflow and then get stuck in with some projects, working alongside other designers to bring products into production. The projects are varied with us owning many brands that have organically grown from BMX, all requiring product design and management. These brands include fixed gear bikes and parts, footwear, clothing/accessories and impact protection all of which is designed here in Cologne.
Above all we’re looking for someone who possesses true creative thinking, and has a passion for technology and progressive design. You must have a critical eye for detail, and a natural feeling for what ‘looks good’. Although not crucial to the role, a keen interest in BMX/Cycling and the action sports sector is definitely a bonus. With so many brands and products the workflow is varied and fast, so you need to be able to flick between tasks easily. You will work in a close team of graphic and product designers so a friendly and open personality is a must.
