UI/UX Product Designer

https:/drone-port.in/; Chennai; On-site; INR 600,000 - 1,200,000; Full time

Job summary

Drone Port is seeking a product designer to own the design system and lead the mobile-first design of five applications for field and console use on inexpensive handsets. You will ship an interim icon set early to avoid release delays and develop rural-first interaction rules informed by field observations.

You will test designs with real farmers and pilots, adjust based on feedback, and ensure typography depth including non-Latin scripts.

Qualifications

• Three to five years in product design, with one design system shipped end to end and then maintained.
• Genuine mobile-first work rather than a shrunk desktop layout.
• Low-literacy or rural interfaces, or a demonstrable appetite for them.
• Professional-standard tooling: variants, auto-layout, prototyping and developer handoff.
• Typography depth, including a non-Latin script.

Responsibilities

• Own the design system: components, tokens, type scale, spacing and states
• Design the five applications, mobile-first for the field and dense for the consoles
• Ship an interim icon and asset set first, so releases are never waiting on art
• Own the rural-first interaction rules, fed by what the field engineers actually observe
• Verify contrast and touch targets, and check layouts on the real station tablet
• Test with real farmers and pilots, and change your own work when somebody taps the wrong thing

Job description

The role One design system and five applications — three consoles and two field apps — designed for people who may not read fluently, on inexpensive handsets, in bright sunlight. The honest measure of your documentation is how many clarifying questions you receive.

Key responsibilities

• Own the design system: components, tokens, type scale, spacing and states
• Design the five applications, mobile-first for the field and dense for the consoles
• Ship an interim icon and asset set first, so releases are never waiting on art
• Own the rural-first interaction rules, fed by what the field engineers actually observe
• Verify contrast and touch targets rather than assuming them, and check layouts on the real station tablet
• Test with real farmers and pilots, and change your own work when somebody taps the wrong thing

Eligibility

• Three to five years in product design, with one design system shipped end to end and then maintained — created is not the same as adopted
• Genuine mobile-first work rather than a shrunk desktop layout
• Low-literacy or rural interfaces, or a demonstrable appetite for them
• Professional-standard tooling: variants, auto-layout, prototyping and developer handoff
• Typography depth, including a non-Latin script

What you get

• Five applications and the system beneath them, owned outright
• Research access to the actual users, not personas
