We’re an outdoor-focused product company creating thoughtful, functional gear that elevates life on the road. From in-vehicle sleep systems to shelters, accessories, and textile-based solutions, we design products built for durability, packability, and premium user experience.

We prototype fast, test in the wild, and obsess over real-use insights from actual nights spent outside.

• Create tech packs, BOMs, and detailed construction specs
• Use Vizcom + AI tools for rapid visualization and concept exploration
• Collaborate with engineering on hybrid softgoods/hardgoods systems
• Conduct field testing — real trips, real conditions, real product insights
• Work with domestic & overseas factories from sketch → prototype → production
• Maintain and evolve Luno’s product design language

What You Bring (Required)

• 3–5+ years professional experience in Industrial/Product Design, in outdoor gear and/ or consumer goods.
• Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in industrial design, architecture, or engineering -- or equivalent. 
• Softgoods expertise: patterning, cut-and-sew, textile construction
• Shelter/Tent/Canopy design experience 
• A portfolio demonstrating softgoods, shelters, outdoor gear, or structurally textile-driven product work.
• Strong sketching + visualization skills
• Proficient in ID tools: Rhino/SolidWorks/Fusion360, Adobe CC, Keyshot
• Experience with Vizcom or similar AI visualization tools
• Hands-on prototyping and sewing capability
• Knowledge of outdoor-grade materials & manufacturing
• Collaboration experience with overseas factories
• Genuine passion for road trips, vehicle camping, and outdoor testing

Bonus Points

• Softgoods + hardgoods integration experience
• Shelter engineering familiarity (tension, load paths, wind performance)
• Automotive/outdoor gear category experience
• Photography/video skills for documenting field tests

Why Join Luno

• Design products that go from idea → reality quickly
• Field test your own creations
• Influence a growing category in outdoor gear
• Be part of a small, collaborative, fast-moving team
• Help shape the next generation of sleep + shelter systems for the road

Benefits + Perks 

• Full Benefits Package: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Long & Short Term Disability
• 401k Match (once eligible)
• Unlimited PTO!
• Including Minimum Hours + Additional Paid Volunteer Time
• Paid Holidays!

Work Expectations

Location:

• This role is based in Bend, Oregon. Candidates must reside in the Bend area by their first day of employment. This is not a remote or start-remote role.
• Optional Hybrid Schedule : 4 days onsite at HQ / 1 day remote

Driving Requirement:

• This role requires a valid driver’s license and reliable access to a personal vehicle for field testing, vehicle-based camping trips, and other work-related travel.

Interview Process

Early interviews may be conducted remotely. Final-round interviews take place onsite at Luno HQ (Bend, OR). Candidates outside the area may be asked to travel for an in-person interview at their own expense.
