Junior Product Designer (m/w/d)

If you love creating things that truly resonate with children…
if you are curious about how form, material and haptics shape children’s experiences…
and if you are excited to grow alongside an ambitious team — then Bababoo and friends could be your next step.

At Bababoo and friends, we develop award-winning products that accompany children on their first adventures — thoughtfully designed, highly functional and crafted with care. Our multiple internationally recognized designs combine aesthetics, sustainability and a strong sense of storytelling: every product tells a small story that sparks the imagination of children (and their parents) and playfully connects them.

Our products are more than beautiful objects: they are play companions, everyday partners and emotional anchors — created with the ambition to inspire children long-term and make their everyday world a little more sustainable.

For our design studio in Bamberg, we are looking for a Junior Product Designer who is eager to learn, contribute and gradually take on responsibility.

We are a team that takes design seriously: high standards, strong energy, fast decisions and genuine passion for product development shape our daily work.

• Contribute to the development of new children’s products — from initial idea to final implementation
• Support the translation of creative concepts into safe, durable and sustainable products
• Create sketches, renderings and simple 3D models to visualize ideas
• Assist with material research and initial construction approaches (wood, plastic, textiles, mixed materials)
• Collaborate closely with our design, engineering and production teams to ensure optimal implementation
• Monitor trends in children’s culture, play behavior, material innovation and product design
• Support the further development and sustainable optimization of existing product lines

• Initial practical experience in product or industrial design (studies, internships or first professional experience)
• Passion for physical products and child-centered design
• Basic knowledge of materials such as wood, plastic or textiles
• First experience with 2D/3D tools (e.g. Adobe CC, Rhino or comparable)
• Structured way of working and eagerness to develop further
• Strong team spirit and openness to feedback
• Good German and/or English language skills
• Please include a portfolio with relevant work in your application.

• A dedicated design team with high standards for functionality and aesthetics
• Products with emotional depth instead of short-lived trends
• Fast decision-making and real creative ownership
• A culture driven by curiosity, quality and team spirit
• Space to learn, grow and take on responsibility
• The opportunity to actively shape the Bababoo brand world
