Job summary

Gecko Robotics seeks a product designer to transform rich spatial data into clear, actionable experiences for field operators and industrial workers. You’ll shape how people interact with 3D representations of real environments, understand inspections, coordinate robotic systems, and access information where work happens.

You’ll own the experience from discovery to prototyping, implementation, and iteration with users, collaborating with engineers and specialists in field systems and 3D

Qualifications

• Experience owning complex product experiences from discovery through delivery.
• Strong spatial and interaction-design skills demonstrated through shipped products or prototypes.
• Experience designing for AR/XR, 3D applications, robotics, or demanding environments.
• Ability to build interactive prototypes in code or a real-time development environment, and collaborate on production implementation.
• Sound judgment about attention, readability, input methods, hardware limitations, and the relationship between digital interfaces and physical surroundings.
• Comfort establishing direction in an emerging product area and working directly with users.
• Experience with Unity, Unreal, Three.js, React, or native XR frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Spend time with field operators, data analysts, and facility workers to understand their tasks, constraints, and decisions.
• Define workflows and interactions across desktop 3D applications and AR/XR devices, choosing the medium that best serves the task.
• Build functional prototypes using representative spatial data, and test them with users.
• Contribute directly to interface implementation alongside product engineers, who provide support on architecture, data integration, performance, and production reliability.
• Develop experiences for understanding robot activity, inspection coverage, findings, and exceptions within a physical environment.
• Establish consistent interaction principles for spatial navigation, selection, annotation, information hierarchy, and feedback.
• Evaluate what improves task completion, comprehension, and operator workload, and use that evidence to guide iteration.
