As the Industrial Designer, you will lead the end-to-end design of 1-phase and 3-phase LT / HT meters and rack-mounted devices, ensuring every product embodies simplicity, consistency, and innovation. You will translate customer needs and business requirements into minimalist, brand-consistent designs that balance cost efficiency, durability, and ease of manufacturing. Beyond aesthetics, your work will set new benchmarks for usability, manufacturability, and scalability—positioning Kimbal as a design leader in the smart energy space.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct in-depth field visits with utilities and AMISPs, engaging stakeholders across levels—from junior engineers to senior executives.
  • Identify and quantify real-world pain points such as installation time, tool requirements, operational challenges, and overall user experience.
  • Translate insights into a comprehensive Design Requirements Document that serves as the blueprint for product development.
  • Apply a holistic “warehouse-to-site” perspective to ensure product design addresses every stage of deployment and operation.

    • Industrial Design

  • Lead the industrial design of next-generation 1P & 3P LT / HT meters and rack-mounted devices.
  • Define a minimalist, brand-consistent design language that delivers on functionality, aesthetics, cost, and reliability.
  • Balance design innovation with ease of manufacturing, cost efficiency, and long-term usability—avoiding unnecessary complexity or over-engineering.
  • Incorporate user interface and interaction studies to ensure intuitive product experience.
  • Drive initiatives that reduce total cost of ownership while enhancing manufacturability and scalability.

    • Innovation & Market Leadership

  • Develop design strategies that differentiate Kimbal in the market, aiming to establish leadership with a significantly higher market share over competitors.
  • Integrate emerging design trends, materials, and sustainable practices into the product roadmap.
  • Ensure all products meet global quality and reliability standards, with lifespans of 15–20 years in demanding field environments.
  • Continuously push the boundaries of industrial design to reinforce Kimbal’s reputation as an innovation-driven, market-leading brand.

    • Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related field. (Preferably from NID or top teir-1 institutes)
  • 10–15 years of experience in industrial design, ideally with high-volume electronic or hardware products.
  • Proven track record of translating customer and market insights into successful, user-centric product designs.
  • Strong expertise in field research, usability studies, requirement gathering, and manufacturing processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and lead small, high-performing design teams.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders across technical and leadership levels.
