About The Position

We’re looking for a Lead UI / Visual Designer to own the visual direction and high-fidelity execution of our digital products. This role is strongly focused on UI and visual design—including layout, typography, color systems, and design consistency across platforms—and is ideal for a designer who thrives in polished, production-ready interfaces.
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and brand partners to translate requirements into pixel-precise UI designs and scalable design systems. While usability and user context matter, this is not a UX research-heavy role. We’re seeking a hands-on visual leader who brings craft, clarity, and consistency to complex product experiences.

• Experience designing for both hardware (embedded UIs) and software (web/mobile) is highly preferred.
• Proficiency in design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite, prototyping tools).
• Experience building or managing design systems.
• Strong visual design sensibility and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Portfolio that demonstrates past work across product types (hardware + digital).
• Bachelor’s or master’s in design, HCI, Industrial Design, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a design concepts for both hardware and software products.
• Define and enforce design standards, design system, and UI patterns to ensure consistency.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and hardware teams to align design strategy with product roadmap.
• Design and iterate on interfaces: embedded device UI, mobile/web, control panels, and other touchpoints.
• Create high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and design specifications for hardware and software.
• Ensure brand consistency across product lines, reflecting our visual identity in all digital and physical touchpoints.
• Conduct design reviews, provide feedback, and mentor team members.
• Represent the design discipline in cross-functional strategy discussions, advocating for usability, aesthetics, and brand experience.

Benefits

• Free snacks and drinks, and provided lunch on Fridays
• Fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (partial coverage for dependents)
• Contributions to 401k funds
• Bi-annual reviews, and annual pay increases
• Health and wellness benefits, including free gym membership
• Quarterly team-building events
