About This Role
Defining the design language and user experience for BuildOS, an AI process design platform, is the core of this Product Designer role. You will own design end-to-end across a complex, data-rich application that includes 3D CAD interaction, structured data authoring, and shop floor workflows. This opportunity suits a designer with 3–7 years of experience who is ready to shape an entirely new software category from the ground up, working alongside a passionate team on a mission to reindustrialize the West.
Responsibilities
- Own the full design lifecycle, from discovery and user research (including customer calls and factory visits) through mocks, prototyping, feedback loops, and shipped product
- Define and build design language, design system, and component patterns to provide clear, consistent guidance for engineers
- Create high-fidelity mockups and clickable prototypes in Figma (and React with AI-assisted coding tools) to support a fast-moving engineering team
- Design complex, information-dense interfaces that blend legacy structured data (BOMs, routings, work instructions) with novel 3D CAD visualization, making powerful workflows intuitive for both technical and non-technical factory users
- Collaborate directly with the CTO, product team, and engineers daily to prioritize design work, validate flows with real customers, and iterate rapidly toward v2 of the platform
Requirements
- Designed complex, information-heavy B2B tools (e.g., CAD, PLM, data platforms, developer tools)
- Shipped end-to-end product design at a Seed–Series B startup
- Designs dense, multi-view interfaces with structured data and complex workflows
- Can prototype in React using AI-assisted coding tools
