About Vessel
Vessel is reimagining housing as a product. We design and build homes with the same precision, speed, and ambition as the world’s best technology companies. Every Vessel is crafted to be beautiful, attainable, and scalable—architecture elevated to the level of industrial design. We don’t just create buildings; we create living products that transform how people experience home.
Why Vessel
Most design studios work on products you’ll never see in the real world—or details so small they barely matter. At Vessel, design is not an accessory to a client’s brief. Design is the product. What you imagine moves quickly from sketch, to prototype, to production. Then it scales—into thousands of homes that redefine how people live.
The Role
We’re looking for Industrial Designers with raw creative talent. People who think in form, light, and material. People who sketch instinctively, iterate fearlessly, and push beyond convention. At Vessel, you’ll work like a designer in a world-class product studio—but what you design will be lived in, not just looked at.
Who You Are
- A designer with exceptional creative talent and vision.
- With 2-5 years of experience
- Ready to put your best ideas to work in the real world.
- Looking for true autonomy and freedom to explore and experiment.
- Motivated by seeing your concepts built, not just presented.
- Energized by risk-taking, iteration, and bold design moves.
- Driven to leave a lasting impact through the work you create.
What You’ll Do
- Generate original concepts that are both beautiful and manufacturable.
- Work across architecture, engineering, and technology to create holistic products.
- Move ideas from paper to prototype to full-scale production within months.
- Help define the design language for a new kind of housing.
$125,000 - $125,000 a year

Why Vessel
This is not a conventional design role. At Vessel, you will have the chance to apply industrial design at architectural scale—bringing the same discipline and imagination found in the world’s best product studios to the places people call home. The work will be ambitious, the challenges complex, and the impact lasting.
