Benefits offered by this job

Owned design system

User research access

Job summary

Drone Port in India is seeking a product designer to own the design system and craft five applications—three consoles and two field apps—for users with limited literacy on inexpensive handsets. You will prioritize mobile-first design and ensure accessibility across bright sunlight environments.

Working closely with field engineers, you will verify contrast, touch targets, and layouts on real equipment, test with farmers and pilots, and iterate based on feedback to deliver clear, usable

Qualifications

• 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

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

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
