Magpul is seeking a Industrial Designer in Austin.

http://jobview.monster.com/Industrial-Designer-Job-Austin-TX-US-148396958.aspx?mescoid=2700407001001&jobPosition=1

I would apply but I dont have a BS/MS degree in Industrial Design or 5 years of industrial design

More interesting is that :
"must have the ability to work as part of a team devoted to bringing innovative new products to market within the growing product portfolio dedicated to the lifestyle products category. ... Projects include but are not limited to protective mobile phone cases; mechanical hardware associated with backpacks, bags and other textile storage products; packaging related initiatives and other mechanical oriented products within the lifestyle product category."

Interesting...making it more of a brand. Much like yeti has been doing.

I agree its a logical extension for them. It will be interesting to see how the industry responds to them offering mag and plate carriers

Where are you getting plate carriers from?

Where are you getting plate carriers from?

reading between the lines and key phrases such as mechanical hardware and textile storage products. Not saying a plate carrier will be first in the list but a progression from backpacks, manbags, and attaches to mag carrier accessories and then to full on plate carriers

I see. I read it more as competing with 511 tactical wear.

There wasnt apparel or fashion design attached with that job posting. But yea I can see them going that direction as well

[Ruffdaddy]

Yeah I can definitely see it going both ways. The mention of lifestyle indicates that its outside the gun product realm, but the search for hardware associated with "xxx"indicates its more functional over pure apparel.

I'll apply and find out.
