RAROG AG; Zürich; On-site; CHF 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

RAROG AG is seeking a Product Designer to craft the UX/UI of its handheld detector, translating field feedback into intuitive interfaces. You will align branding with the product experience and work with the CTO and commercial team to shape future detector versions under challenging conditions.

Ideal candidates bring a strong UX/UI portfolio in safety-critical or hardware-adjacent products, and comfort with ambiguous, fast-paced environments. English fluency is essential.

Qualifications

• Strong UX/UI portfolio including embedded, hardware-adjacent or safety-critical products.
• Comfortable turning customer feedback and field observations into concrete design decisions.
• Fluent in English.
• Structured, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Nice to have: physical/industrial product design experience.
• Nice to have: familiarity with brand systems and visual identity work.
• Nice to have: interest in rescue/safety/defense sectors.
• Nice to have: German and/or French and/or Italian.
• Nice to have: prototyping tools to help ship your designs.

Responsibilities

• Define the UX and UI of RAROG's handheld detector.
• Extend branding (typography, color and visual language) into a coherent product experience.
• Iterate based on customer feedback and field usage to keep interfaces unobtrusive under time pressure.
• Collaborate with the commercial team to translate structured feedback into interface and product decisions.
• Work directly with the CTO to understand technical and physical constraints like dimensions and ruggedization.
• Join field visits to observe device use first-hand.
• Refine the industrial design of the detector for easy operation under pressure.
• Prototype and help ship your designs, with hands-on UI implementation being a strong plus.

Job description

Role and responsibilities

About the role

When rescuers search for a person, every second counts. RAROG detectors' user experience and interface - the physical device in a rescuer's hand as much as the screens they interact with - need to be intuitive, allowing rescuers to focus completely on finding the victim. As our Product Designer, you have the opportunity to help rescuers save more lives by crafting their user experience. You will shape this experience end to end: how RAROG looks, feels and functions for people using it under pressure, often in poor visibility and difficult terrain. The core detector technology is already live and our commercial team is gathering customer feedback from the field; your task is to turn that feedback into product and design decisions for new detector versions.

Key responsibilities:

• Define the UX and UI of RAROG's handheld detector.

• Extend our branding (typography, color and visual language) into a coherent product experience.

• Iterate based on customer feedback and field usage: rescuers operating under time pressure need an interface that gets out of their way.

• Work with our commercial team to receive structured customer feedback and translate it into concrete interface and product decisions.

• Work directly with our CTO to understand the technical and physical constraints that shape the interface (e.g. dimensions and ruggedization requirements for field use).

• Join field visits to see the device in use first-hand.

Additional responsibilities:

• Refine the industrial design of the detector - housing form, button layout and feel, connector placement - so the physical device is as easy to operate under pressure as the screen.

• Prototype and help ship what you design, working alongside AI-assisted development tools - hands-on UI implementation is not required but is a strong plus.

Qualifications and Skills

Our ideal candidate

Someone who is laser-focused on ensuring that rescuers under stress can operate a RAROG detector without thinking about it, in any weather condition, so they can fully focus on quickly finding the people who need their help.

Requirements:

• Strong UX/UI design portfolio including embedded, hardware-adjacent or safety-critical products

• Comfortable turning customer feedback and field observations into concrete design decisions

• Fluent in English

• Structured, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity

Nice to have:

• Physical/industrial product design experience - or a credible foundation to develop it

• Familiarity with brand systems and visual identity work

• Interest in or experience with the rescue, safety or defense sectors

• Fluent in German and/or French and/or Italian

• Comfortable with prototyping tools to help ship your own designs
