Job description

Staff Product Designer | Spatial Experiences

Design · New York City · FullTime · Senior level

This role asks for a product designer who can turn 3D inspection data into clear tools for field operators and industrial workers. A strong candidate owns complex experiences end to end, from talking with users to shipping working software, and has designed for AR, XR, 3D or robotics settings. The person should build interactive prototypes and work closely with engineers on the real implementation.

How it fits the AI era

The AI platform turns robot and sensor data into findings, so the designer's job is to make those outputs readable and usable in the field. AI can surface defects and patterns, but the designer decides how people see, trust and act on them. Judgment about attention, input methods and physical surroundings stays human.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means designing around an AI data platform that interprets inspection results, so the designer gains hands on sense of how model outputs reach operators. That experience comes from prototyping with real spatial data and testing with users. Familiarity with 3D and real time tools like Unity, Unreal or Three.js helps build it.

Worth showing

• Shipped 3D or XR products
• End to end product ownership
• Coded interactive prototypes
• Field user research
