About Us
Illuminating Asia is a design-driven lighting company known for combining technical innovation with award-winning aesthetics. Our portfolio includes HEATSIG™, a patented thermal-sensing ceiling light for elderly care monitoring, and Sorva by Heatsig, our residential lighting line. We're expanding into a new chapter of beautifully designed home lighting and are looking for a talented Product Designer to help lead the way.
The Role
We're seeking a savvy, experienced Product Designer to enhance our existing Sorva by Heatsig product and go on to create a series of high-impact, aesthetically driven home interior lighting fixtures. This is a part-time contract role (minimum 20 hours/week) over 3 months, ideal for a designer who can work independently and deliver focused, high-quality output within a defined engagement.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and enhance the existing Sorva by Heatsig product — refining form, materials, finish, and user experience
- Design a new series of home interior lighting fixtures targeted at residential applications, balancing aesthetic impact with manufacturability
- Develop concepts from ideation through to detailed design (sketches, 3D models, prototypes)
- Select materials, finishes, and light sources that align with premium residential interior trends
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure designs are technically feasible and cost-effective to produce
- Stay ahead of interior design and lighting trends to ensure our products feel current and desirable
- Prepare design documentation and specifications for prototyping and manufacturing
- Present design concepts and rationale to leadership and stakeholders
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Product Designer, ideally within lighting, furniture, or home/interior product categories
- Strong portfolio demonstrating aesthetic sensibility and successful shipped products
- Proficiency in 3D design/CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360, or similar)
- Understanding of manufacturing processes and materials relevant to lighting products (metal, glass, polycarbonate, LED integration, etc.)
- A strong eye for residential interior design trends and consumer aesthetic preferences
- Ability to balance creative vision with commercial and technical constraints
- Excellent communication skills to articulate design decisions to non-design stakeholders
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently on a part-time schedule
Nice to Have
- Experience designing award-winning or design-competition-recognized products
- Familiarity with smart home/connected lighting technology
- Background in sensor-integrated or tech-enabled product design

Please send your CV, portfolio (with visuals of shipped or prototyped products), and a short note on your approach to designing for aesthetic impact in residential spaces, to HR@illuminatingasia.com.
