Industrial Design Intern — CoziKat

Location: Mumbai (in-person/hybrid preferred — you'll be visiting our manufacturing partner regularly) Type: Internship About CoziKat: CoziKat is a made-in-India premium cat products brand — scratchers, loungers, and now expanding into cat furniture. Our products are illustrated by Indian designers, made by Indian artisans, and inspired by rescue and street cats. We're a small, hands-on team, and this role will work closely with the founder.

What you'll do

  • Design and sketch new cat furniture concepts — scratchers, loungers, multi-level pieces — starting with 2–3 core designs
  • Build working prototypes, iterating on structure, scale, and cat ergonomics (climbing, scratching angle, stability, sizing)
  • Work in CAD to translate sketches into manufacturable designs
  • Support assembly and hands-on testing of prototypes
  • Visit our manufacturing partner in Mumbai to review production feasibility and troubleshoot with the vendor directly — we already have vendors in place, so your focus is design and prototyping, not sourcing
  • Collaborate with our print/illustration team — they handle the surface designs, you handle the structure underneath

What we're looking for

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related field
  • Comfortable with CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, or similar)
  • Strong sketching ability — you can communicate an idea on paper before it's modeled
  • Some hands-on prototyping/model-making experience — this is not a purely digital design role
  • Based in or able to be in Mumbai, since manufacturer visits are a regular part of the job
  • A design sensibility that's clean, quirky, and functional — we're not going for generic pet-store aesthetics
  • Bonus: interest in pets/cats, or experience designing for corrugated cardboard or other lightweight materials

Why this role

You'll see a product go from a sketch to a physical prototype to something sold on our site and marketplaces — start to finish, with real ownership over the first few pieces of a growing furniture line, not busywork on an established one.
