Position at Conair LLC

Position Summary:

The Conair Summer Internship Program invites exceptional design students to join Cuisinart’s innovation studio—where creativity meets craftsmanship and everyday cooking transforms into inspired experience.

As Cuisinart Industrial Design Intern, you’ll explore how form, function, and emotion come together in products people love to use. From sketching bold ideas to building tangible prototypes, you’ll help shape the next generation of kitchen innovation while learning how world-class design teams bring ideas from insight to reality.

We’re looking for curious, optimistic makers—students who scroll design blogs, spot trends before they hit TikTok, and think about how great design can make life more intuitive, joyful, and sustainable.

What You’ll Do:

Concept & Create: Generate imaginative product concepts through sketching, modeling, and storytelling that express Cuisinart’s brand DNA and design vision.
Research & Inspire: Explore emerging lifestyle, food, and material trends to spark new ideas and design directions.
Prototype & Iterate: Develop 3D models, mockups, and renderings using tools like SolidWorks, Rhino, KeyShot, and Adobe Creative Suite to bring concepts to life.
Collaborate & Learn: Work alongside engineers, CMF specialists, marketers, and culinary experts to refine design intent and align aesthetics with function and feasibility.
Present & Communicate: Build compelling visuals and presentations that share your creative process, insights, and product stories with cross-functional teams.
Contribute to Innovation: Participate in brainstorming sessions, design critiques, and prototype evaluations—bringing a fresh, inspired point of view to every discussion.

Who You Are:

A rising senior or graduate student pursuing a degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related discipline.
Proficient in sketching, visual storytelling, and 3D modeling/rendering (SolidWorks, Rhino, KeyShot, Adobe Creative Suite).
Energized by consumer-centric design—you’re curious about how people cook, live, and connect through products.
A collaborative problem-solver with an eye for detail, a passion for beautiful functionality, and a positive, can-do attitude.
Always tuned into design trends, social media inspiration, and material innovations that can shape the next great product experience.
