Senior Product Designer
Build the data infrastructure for robots operating in the real world.
Robotics is moving from research labs into production across factories, warehouses, vehicles, and field deployments. When robots fail, behave unexpectedly, or need to be improved, engineers rely on data to understand what actually happened.
At Foxglove, we build the observability, visualization, and data infrastructure that makes that possible. Our tools are used by robotics and autonomous systems teams to ingest, store, query, replay, and analyze massive volumes of multimodal sensor data from live systems and from production fleets.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Foxglove design team. In this role, you will collaborate closely with senior leaders, engineers, and product managers to streamline and scale our web and desktop applications while enhancing the user experience for our customers.
You will engage in a full range of product design activities, including UX discovery, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping. Additionally, you will gain a deep understanding of Physical AI, which encompasses machine learning, computer vision, robot learning, and language models. You will also advocate for our core users—software engineers who are building autonomous vehicles and robots that can perceive, act, and collaborate effectively.
Key Responsibilities
Design the end-to-end user experience for tools used by robotics engineers to develop and test robots at scale.
Develop a deep understanding of the people, workflows, and tools that robotics engineers rely on to accelerate development and testing.
Leverage usability insights to guide your involvement across a broad solution space.
Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineers, and Technical Program Managers to define requirements and translate them into effective solutions.
Lead the design process to plan, scope, define, and deliver high-quality, responsive interfaces that meet accessibility guidelines.
Build prototypes to envision potential solutions and gather feedback on design iterations.
Partner with engineers to ensure your solutions are feasible and shipped with high quality.
Proactively gather feedback to identify strategic gaps and opportunities for improving the user experience through continuous discovery, validating emerging concepts, and evaluating existing solutions.
Contribute to our design system to create consistent user experiences and streamline the development process across our product.
What we're looking for
Minimum of 4 years of product design experience.
A portfolio showcasing high-quality, thoughtful UI and UX work.
Proficiency in Figma and related digital design and prototyping software.
Experience using qualitative and quantitative data to inform design decisions.
Ability to collaborate effectively with people from various disciplines and levels.
Comfort in conducting stakeholder interviews and integrating findings into final designs.
Skill in creating elegant visual designs with thoughtful composition.
Strong ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to the team and stakeholders.
Proven experience working with engineering teams to build assets, refine user experiences, and produce high-quality products.
Demonstrated ability to deliver end-to-end applications and software within a team environment, from brief to shipping.
Bonus points:
Experience designing tools for engineers working on robotics or autonomous vehicles.
Experience working on complex interactive systems or data analytics products.
Proven ability to establish metrics for challenging and novel problems.
Ability to conduct in-person user research with our customers in the Bay Area when needed.
