  • Collaborate with product development teams to refine designs for production feasibility.
Manufacturing & Engineering Support:
  • Assist in communicating design specifications and files to overseas manufacturing partners.
  • Support engineering teams in solving design and production challenges.
  • Ensure that all final products maintain creative integrity, play value, and quality standards.
Project & Timeline Coordination:
  • Work with team leads to meet project milestones, deadlines, and production schedules.
  • Maintain organized design files, specifications, and revision notes for each project.
  • Provide updates and collaborate with internal teams on product development progress.
Brand & Storytelling:
  • Contribute to packaging, branding, and storytelling elements to enhance product presentation.
  • Develop compelling visual assets and presentations for internal pitches and retailer meetings.
  • Ensure every toy aligns with the company’s playful, imaginative, and high-quality design standards.

Qualifications & Experience:
  • 5+ years of experience in toy design, industrial design, or a related creative field.
  • BA or BS in Toy Design, Industrial Design, or a related discipline.
  • Strong sketching, rendering, and visual communication skills using Sketchbook Pro, Photoshop, or similar.
  • Experience with 3D modeling software (Rhino, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
  • Strong knowledge of toy industry trends, leading brands, and emerging play patterns.
  • Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with multiple projects at once.
  • Passion for toys, play, and storytelling!
  • Experience working with factories, production teams, and manufacturing partners.
  • Hands-on prototyping skills (3D printing, model-making, or similar).
  • Familiarity with toy safety regulations and materials.
  • Experience developing products in plush, action figures, collectibles, or novelty toys.

Schylling offers a competitive benefits package that includes medical and dental with an 80% company contribution, vision insurance, company-paid life and disability insurance, PTO and 10 paid holidays, product discount, and a 401(k) with company match.
