Senior Product Designer

Nuro•Mountain View, CA

4d•$145,830 - $219,000

About The Position

Nuro is looking for a Product Designer to help shape the tools, interfaces, and experiences that support the development and deployment of autonomous driving technology. This role sits at the intersection of product design, autonomy, simulation, developer tooling, and operational tooling. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and operators to turn complex technical systems into intuitive, elegant user experiences. This role is best suited for a designer who is energized by technical depth, ambiguity, and the opportunity to design tools used by highly technical users. You will work across 2D interfaces, 3D environments, spatial workflows, data visualization, and internal systems that help teams understand, debug, evaluate, and improve performance.

Requirements

Portfolio that demonstrates strong product design craft, systems thinking, and experience solving complex user problems.
Experience designing technical products, developer tools, enterprise software, robotics tools, simulation tools, geospatial products, gaming tools, automotive interfaces, or other complex software systems.
Hands-on experience designing spatial, simulation, mapping, robotics, gaming, AR/VR, automotive, or visualization experiences.
Comfortable designing for expert users and technical workflows.
Proficiency with Figma and modern design workflows.
Comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete information.
Strong story teller who can help focus collaboration well across functions.
Strong judgment, low ego, and a bias toward practical, high-quality execution.
Experience designing complex software products for technical or expert users.
Demonstrated spatial, simulation, mapping, robotics, gaming, AR/VR, automotive, or data visualization design experience.
Strong portfolio showing product thinking, interaction design, visual design, and ability to simplify complex workflows.
Proficiency with Figma and modern design/prototyping tools.
Proficiency in leveraging AI tools and workflows to accelerate execution, enhance design craft, and navigate technical complexity.
Ability to partner closely with engineering teams and understand technical constraints.
Strong communication, collaboration, and storytelling skills.
