Job description

What the role actually is

Nuro is hiring a senior product designer in Mountain View for its autonomous driving product work. The role is a fit for a designer who can turn complex autonomy, operations, and customer requirements into clear product experiences.

This is design work in a real-world robotics setting, where interface decisions have to make autonomous systems understandable to operators, riders, partners, and internal teams.

What you would work on

• Design product flows for autonomous driving services and internal autonomy workflows
• Translate research, operational feedback, and product requirements into interaction patterns
• Prototype and communicate design decisions across product, engineering, and operations
• Improve the clarity of tools used to launch, monitor, and scale Nuro's systems

What they are asking for

• Senior product design experience on complex software or technical systems
• Comfort working with ambiguous requirements and cross-functional robotics teams
• Strong interaction design, prototyping, and product thinking
• Ability to connect user needs with autonomy, operations, and business constraints

Why this one is worth a look

Autonomy design is rarely just screen design. Nuro is building driverless systems that have to be operated, trusted, and explained across many human touchpoints, which makes this a strong fit for designers who want the messy product layer of robotics.
