Lead UX/UI Designer
Renesas Electronics, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Overview
We’re looking for a Product Designer who will define the next generation of tools that empower hardware engineers and manufacturing teams to innovate. This role is ideal for someone who puts users first, dives deep into complex technical requirements with curiosity, and designs intuitive workflows that eliminate friction. As Duro scales to thousands of engineering users, you’ll help define our product experience, establish design patterns, and translate complex feature requirements into elegant, usable solutions. You will design workflows and architecture that enable hardware teams to innovate without obstacles. This role blends interaction design, systems thinking, and close engineering collaboration. You may be looking to grow as a Product Designer, or grow into Design Leadership, or Product Strategy.
Responsibilities
Design clear, efficient user workflows
that simplify complex engineering tasks.
Conduct user observations, behavioral analysis, and research
to uncover opportunities and validate solutions.
Interact with customers via interviews, user testing, and analysis .
Create interaction models, user flows, and prototypes
that define product architecture and direction.
Manage a growing Design System
Collaborate with Engineering to design and maintain robust design systems in Figma that translate to production code.
Work iteratively with engineers to ensure design intent is faithfully implemented with high quality.
Partner closely with Front End and Back End Engineering teams throughout the design and development cycle.
Document design decisions, patterns, and system behaviors to support development and team knowledge.
Product Partnership
Collaborate with product managers, engineering teams, and senior designers to inform feature scope and strategic priorities.
Present design concepts, rationale, and workflow improvements to stakeholders.
Champion user needs and maintain cohesive product experiences across the organization.
Who We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in Product Design, UX Design, or Interaction Design.
Bachelor’s Degree in Product Design, Industrial Design, Interaction Design, or Engineering.
Expert proficiency with
Figma
as the primary design tool.
Proven experience implementing design systems — both in Figma and in collaboration with Front End Engineering teams.
Strong understanding of usability heuristics (Nielsen Norman Group principles).
Portfolio demonstrating workflow design, interaction design, and systems thinking.
Experience designing for complex, technical, or multi-step workflows.
Creative, organized, and able to work independently.
Collaborative team player who brings solutions without ego.
Clear communication skills across written, verbal, and visual formats.
Empathy & User-Centricity: A deep understanding of user pain points and the ability to advocate for user needs.
Collaboration & Teamwork: Experience working with cross-functional teams (engineers, product managers, marketers).
Communication & Presentation: Ability to articulate design rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking: Ability to analyze complex problems and generate user-friendly solutions.
Adaptability & Iteration: Flexibility to adjust to changing requirements and iterate on designs based on feedback.
Attention to Detail: Meticulous focus on quality and aesthetic consistency.
Curiosity & Growth Mindset: Desire to stay current with industry trends and continuously improve skills.
Nice to Have
Experience with engineering tools, CAD software, or other technical product environments.
Background in hardware engineering or exposure to hardware development workflows.
Familiarity working alongside technical teams in product development.
Comfortable with using AI to assist with ideation and productivity.
Why This Role Matters You’ll design the tools that hardware engineers and manufacturing teams rely on daily. Your work directly impacts their ability to innovate, iterate, and bring products to life. Through close collaboration with engineering, you’ll ensure thoughtful design becomes powerful, friction-free software.
