Job summary

Gecko Robotics is seeking a Staff Product Designer in New York to transform spatial data into clear experiences for field operators. You will define workflows across desktop 3D apps and AR/XR devices, build prototypes, and work with engineers to deliver functional experiences in real environments.

You will shape interaction principles for spatial navigation and information hierarchy, test with real users, and drive iterations based on feedback.

Qualifications

• Experience owning complex product experiences from discovery through delivery.
• Strong spatial and interaction-design capability evidenced by shipped products or substantial working prototypes.
• Experience designing for AR/XR, 3D applications, robotics, or similar demanding environments.
• Ability to build interactive prototypes in code or a real-time development environment and collaborate on production implementation.

Responsibilities

• Partner with field operators, data analysts, and facility workers to understand tasks, constraints, and on-the-job decision-making.
• Define workflows and interactions across desktop 3D applications and AR/XR devices, selecting the right medium for each task.
• Create functional prototypes using representative spatial data, then test concepts with real users.
• Collaborate on interface implementation with product engineers for architecture, data integration, performance, and reliability.
• Design experiences that support understanding of robot activity, inspection coverage, findings, and exceptions within physical environments.
• Set consistent interaction principles for spatial navigation, selection, annotation, information hierarchy, and feedback.
• Measure impact on task completion, comprehension, and operator workload to guide iteration.
• Select a valuable field workflow and deliver a working experience in partnership with engineering for evaluation.
