Do you want to help families and communities connect to the great outdoors—all while doing something meaningful for future generations? Join our team at POLYWOOD, the leading brand of sustainable outdoor furniture.
POLYWOOD is a U.S.-based company that proudly operates from our original headquarters in Syracuse, Indiana, with an additional facility in Roxboro, North Carolina, and a burgeoning remote workforce. Since day one, we've upheld our founder's original mission of stewardship by designing, engineering, and building beautiful outdoor furniture using sustainable materials, including landfill- and ocean-bound plastics, all with a zero-waste mindset. Our positive and inclusive culture is best described by our teams as an atmosphere of energy — a place where there is trust among each other and ongoing opportunity.

Position Summary
The POLYWOOD Design Team is looking for a talented Industrial Designer to play a key role crafting outdoor furniture designs that blend style, function, and beauty. POLYWOOD is the pioneer and industry-leading manufacturer of outdoor furniture made from recycled plastics. Our original mission and core vision is focused on stewardship, doing something meaningful for future generations. Our brand is nationally recognized and continues to expand as we serve an increasing number of brick-and-mortar and ecommerce customers. Join our energetic, entrepreneurial company that is a model of steady and rapid growth year after year and continues to grow at a rapid pace
As an Industrial Designer at POLYWOOD, you will bring outdoor furniture concepts to life through sketching, computer modeling, and physical prototyping. You will work with the Sales and Marketing Teams to translate product ideas into visual concepts for customer consideration. Your 3D SolidWorks models will be built, evaluated, and perfected through collaboration with the Product Development, Engineering, and Quality Teams. Since prototyping and manufacturing both take place on-campus, your 3D models become full-scale, production-level prototypes in a matter of days, allowing you to evaluate concepts in real life and real time. After your products have been finalized and released to Production, you'll experience the satisfaction of learning how your designs are being used and enjoyed by consumers across the country.
