Job Description
Product Designer
Standard Bots is building the world’s most accessible robotics platform to bring advanced automation into manufacturing and beyond, with intuitive hardware and software that empower human productivity.
We’re looking for a Product Designer who enjoys working on complex, technical products and can help turn powerful capabilities into tools people can actually use.
Overview
This role is for a designer who thinks in systems. You’ll work on workflows, interactions, and interfaces where users are configuring, monitoring, and operating sophisticated robotic behavior. Success looks like designs that feel clear and intentional even when the underlying system is complex.
You will be a close partner to product managers and engineers, helping shape both what we build and how it works for users.
What You Will Do
Design end-to-end workflows for both technical and non-technical users interacting with complex systems.
Translate user needs, technical constraints, and product goals into clear interaction models and interfaces.
Work through edge cases, states, and failure modes — not just happy paths.
Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to explore and communicate ideas.
Collaborate closely with PMs and engineers to refine requirements, trade-offs, and implementation details.
Participate in user research, field learnings, and feedback synthesis to inform design decisions.
Help establish shared patterns, mental models, and design principles as the product grows further.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of relevant experience
A designer who enjoys tackling complex or technical problem spaces.
Strong user empathy, especially for users working in constrained or high-stakes environments.
Ability to reason about systems: states, flows, dependencies, and trade-offs.
Comfort working through ambiguity and iterating toward clarity.
Clear communication skills and a collaborative working style.
A portfolio that shows thoughtful problem framing and depth, not just surface-level UI.
Bonus Qualifications
Experience designing products like developer tools, data tools, CAD software, admin interfaces, or other complex systems.
Familiarity with robotics, industrial automation, hardware-software products, or technically sophisticated domains.
Experience working closely with engineers on technically constrained problems.
Based in or near New York, or open to hybrid work.
Compensation and Benefits:
The salary range for this role is $140,000 to $240,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
