Industrial Designer

About the role

SumUp is looking for an Industrial Designer to join our Hardware team in Berlin and help design the physical products used by millions of small businesses around the world.

Our team develops merchant-facing hardware such as payment terminals, printers, registers and related peripherals. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with product managers, electronics engineers and manufacturing partners to bring new devices to life and continuously improve existing products across our hardware portfolio.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys real product development — from concept and CAD modeling to prototyping and working with engineering teams to bring products into production.

About the team

You have probably used our card readers to buy a cappuccino or pay your hairdresser already. In Hardware, we are passionate about creating these beautifully designed card payment devices and accessories that enable our merchants to start, run, and grow their own businesses. In doing so, we deal with a diverse range of engineering topics - industrial and electronic design, embedded systems, all the way to mobile apps and backend services.

We believe in open communication and constant learning over strict rules. If you're looking for the chance to innovate and help millions of small independent merchants succeed - join us!

What you’ll do

• Experience designing physical products or hardware devices
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred)
• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
• Interest in manufacturing and product development

You'll be great for this position if:

• 🔧 You've brought physical things to life — you have hands-on experience designing physical products or hardware devices and love seeing your ideas become reality
• 📐 CAD is your second language — you're fluent in SolidWorks (or at least a fast learner!) and can turn concepts into precise, polished designs
• 🤝 You thrive in a crowd — working alongside engineers, designers, and product folks energizes you rather than slows you down
• 🏭 Factories excite you — you geek out over manufacturing processes and can't wait to get involved in how things actually get made

Why you should join SumUp

• A dedicated annual Learning & Development budget for attending conferences and/or advancing your career through further education
• Enrollment onto our virtual stock ownership program - you will own a stake in SumUp’s future success
• A corporate pension scheme
• 28 days paid leave + 1 for birthday
• You’ll attend global offsites and/or hackathons.
• You'd enjoy other great benefits such as Urban Sports Club subsidy, Kita placement assistance, subsidized office lunches and other location-tailored benefits, Babbel language platform subscription and more!
