Company Profile
billionBRICKS is a Singapore based and multi-disciplinary non-profit organisation which aims to improve the quality of life of the homeless through the power of design and good architecture. By teaming up with on-ground NGOs, community focussed institutions and government, bB provides  professional design expertise in building of the physical environment in which the homeless communities are rehabilitated. bB's solutions are scalable and replicable and contribute in significantly enhancing the opportunities for the homeless and vulnerable to emerge out of poverty. We not only look at buildings as a shelter, but tools for capacity building and an asset for its inhabitants. bB has been engaged in projects in India, Cambodia, Malaysia, Nepal and Indonesia.
Job Description
bB is developing a new 'Winter Home' for disaster relief and urban homeless living in cold parts of the world. We prepared two prototypes and after encouraging field tests have received tremendous response from potential customers. We are now looking for a product design intern to help further develop the product for a serious testing launch before winters set in across central and southern Asian nations. 

The product design candidate will work directly with CEO to develop both structural frame design and skin design for the tent. The task will require material research, sourcing, manufacturing and testing of the product. The position also will require good design skills. 

If you are someone who wants to make a difference to the world by saving lives of some of the most vulnerable communities on the planet, then this is the right opportunity for you.
