About Westclox
For over 135 years, Westclox has been the heartbeat of American homes—delivering reliable, iconic alarm and wall clocks that wake generations and mark life's moments. Today, under NYL Holdings, we're reimagining timeless design for modern living. Join a lean, passionate team that blends heritage craftsmanship with bold innovation.
The Role
We're seeking a Product Designer who obsesses over the intersection of aesthetics and function. You'll own the wall clock portfolio for Westclox—transforming concepts into market-ready products that honor our legacy while pushing boundaries in modern home décor.
You'll tackle:
- Wall Clock Innovation: Design and develop our full range of wall clocks—from classic analog to contemporary statement pieces and smart-enabled designs that fit every room and style.
- Trend Translation: Research emerging home décor trends, materials, and finishes to keep Westclox fresh and relevant across traditional, farmhouse, modern, and eclectic aesthetics.
- Technical Documentation: Create detailed CAD files, material specifications, and color/finish callouts that bridge your vision and factory reality.
- Vendor Partnership: Collaborate with overseas and domestic manufacturers to ensure design integrity through production—solving for cost, feasibility, and quality.
- Merchandising Vision: Design wall clocks that work as cohesive collections, considering retail presentation, seasonal launches, and competitive positioning.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's in Product Design, Industrial Design, Graphic Design, or equivalent.
- 2–4+ years designing consumer products (home goods, décor, or timepieces strongly preferred).
- Strong 2D/3D skills—Adobe Creative Suite required; SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar CAD experience a major plus.
- A portfolio showcasing finished products with attention to color, texture, typography, and material selection.
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes (injection molding, printing, assembly) and how design choices affect cost.
- Self-starter mentality—you can manage multiple SKUs from concept through launch with minimal oversight.
Work Setup
This will be a Hybrid role out of our Valley Stream, NY headquarters. We thrive on collaboration, so plan to be in the office 2–3 days per week (flexible which days). Remote onboarding available; local candidates strongly preferred.
