Job description
The Role
The Brompton is the iconic product of its type, a unique bike used and loved in over forty countries around the world. Sales have grown rapidly over the last ten years, making us the largest bicycle manufacturer in the UK, with our products still designed and made by hand right here in London. Despite this we feel like we’re just getting started and there is huge potential to make the bike lighter, more capable and more fun to use.
As a design team we are passionate about making the best bike we can and approach this in an unusual way; we design all our own components, so they are exactly what we want and need them to be. Brakes, gears, tyres, luggage, frame parts and almost everything else. Brompton is created by us from nose-to-tail. Each project is therefore different; in some you’ll be designing a part for minimum weight and high stiffness, other projects will emphasise ergonomics, or making Brompton intuitive to use.
The Person
We are seeking a passionate and imaginative designer with industry experience in product development and manufacture to join our team to create and manage new products. You will work within the team on all stages of design from research and conception through to manufacture here in London.
The ideal candidate will help to drive Brompton’s ambition to innovate sustainable transport solutions through ingenious product design. Ensuring their engineering experience and knowledge helps to make advances in our product ranges that are of real value to our customers.
