About the role We are looking for a Product Designer who excels at understanding complex user workflows and translating them into intuitive product experiences. This role blends user research, workflow design, interaction design, and prototyping, with the purpose of shaping how engineers interact with sophisticated technical tools.
You should enjoy diving deep into the “why” behind user behaviors, collaborating closely with engineers and product managers, and turning insights into clear, testable design solutions. This is not a purely visual/UI design role — although you will produce mockups and prototypes, your primary responsibility is to design how the system should work, not just how it looks.
Experience with CAD, EDA, engineering tools, or hardware/software development workflows is highly beneficial, as the products you design will be used by technical professionals across the electronics industry.
Workflow & Interaction Design
Analyze and map user workflows, understanding goals, friction points, constraints, and mental models.
Design clear, efficient, future‑ready workflow solutions for complex engineering tasks.
Produce interaction models, user flows, and conceptual designs that guide product direction.
Research & Discovery
Plan and conduct user interviews, workflow observations, and usability tests.
Synthesize findings into actionable insights, requirements, and design opportunities.
Validate ideas through iterative prototyping and feedback cycles.
Design Execution & Collaboration
Create mockups, prototypes, and detailed interaction behaviors that represent your design vision.
Collaborate with visual/UI designers when needed, or deliver UI designs yourself depending on scope.
Work closely with engineering to ensure design intent is translated into high‑quality implementation.
Partner with product managers to inform feature scope, priorities, and product strategy.
Cross‑Functional Alignment
Present concepts, rationale, and workflow improvements to stakeholders.
Document design decisions, flows, and system behaviors to support implementation and knowledge sharing.
Advocate for user needs and cohesive product experience across teams.
Who We’re Looking For Required
~5+ years in Product Design, Interaction Design, UX Design, or similar.
Bachelor's degree: This is a common requirement, with relevant fields including industrial design, product design, graphic design, engineering, human‑computer interaction, and material management.
Experience designing for complex, technical, or multi‑step workflows.
Ability to work from research and problem discovery through to mockups and prototypes.
Strong collaboration skills, especially with engineers and product managers.
Clear communication skills — written, verbal, and visual.
Proficiency in modern design tools (Figma preferred).
Strong portfolio showing workflow design, interaction design, systems thinking, and real product impact.
Comfortable with ambiguity and iterative problem‑solving.
Soft skills: Excellent communication, problem‑solving, organizational, and interpersonal skills are highly valued.
Nice to Have
Experience or interest in electronics, engineering workflows, CAD/EDA tools, or embedded systems.
Familiarity with technical users: engineers, developers, hardware designers.
Background in engineering or exposure to hardware/software development environments.
Experience conducting or supporting research activities.
Why This Role Matters
Understanding user needs
Designing workflows that solve real engineering problems
Communicating design intent clearly to engineering
Producing the prototypes and mockups that bring solutions to life
Your work enables engineers worldwide to create better designs, faster, with fewer obstacles.
The salary range for this role is $145,000 to $165,000. Actual compensation packages within this range are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate and role requirements, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific location.
