Physical Products Engineer (Beds)

Ready to lead, disrupt and reinvent the sleep industry?

We are Emma – The Sleep Company. Founded in 2015, we have grown into the world’s largest direct-to-consumer (D2C) sleep brand, with a presence in over 20 markets and more than 35 Emma stores across Europe.

Our mission is simple: to develop sleep comfort products that empower our customers to awaken their best every day. Today, our products are trusted by millions and recommended by leading consumer associations worldwide.

It’s our people who bring this mission to life. At Emma, you’ll join a driven, international team that values ownership, collaboration, and continuous knowledge sharing. With colleagues from over 70 nationalities, we combine diverse perspectives with a shared ambition to learn, grow, and create lasting impact, together.

Ready to awaken your best with us?

What you'll do:

  • Own physical product development projects for our Beds portfolio across Europe, APAC and LATAM - from concept through to production
  • Work hands-on in SolidWorks (or equivalent 3D modelling tools) to design, iterate and validate physical products
  • Run project management and steering across the full development cycle, keeping timelines and stakeholders aligned
  • Manage product testing with external testing institutes and act on the results
  • Work directly with suppliers and manage relationships across our global manufacturing network
  • Collaborate closely with Category Management, Strategic Procurement, Quality, Production and Planning
  • Drive the diversification of our Beds category across APAC and LATAM markets

Who we are looking for:

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing/Production or Design Engineering
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience developing physical products - not software product management
  • Working proficiency in SolidWorks or an equivalent 3D modelling tool
  • Strong project management and time management skills - you keep multiple projects moving without being chased
  • Clear, concise communication and the ability to collaborate across functions and regions
  • The drive to learn a new domain from the ground up - nobody arrives already knowing beds and foam, and we will teach you
  • Fluent English. Conversational Mandarin is a plus, but it is not a requirement

What we offer:

  • The opportunity to create real impact, take ownership and accountability, and drive meaningful change.
  • Continuous learning and development through hands-on experience, mentoring, formal training, and access to tools such as our Learning Hub and Nilo.
  • A collaborative community of smart, driven people where you learn, contribute, and connect, every day and through team events.
  • A global environment, working daily with diverse perspectives across 4 offices and 70+ nationalities. 25 vacations days per year, with 1 extra day per year worked (until a limit of 30 days per year).
  • A flexible hybrid setup with up to 22 remote days per quarter, and offices in Gutleutviertel - Frankfurt.
Become an Emmie

We are on a mission to become No.1 in the world of sleep, and we’re looking for driven, ambitious people to help us shape what’s next. If you’re curious, hands-on, and ready to challenge the status quo, you’ll find the space here to make things happen and create real impact.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are committed to building an inclusive workplace. We celebrate diversity and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, ethnic origin, religion or belief, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.

Our aim is to get back to you within a few days. Due to the high volume of applications, there may be slight delays, but we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
