Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will own spatial product experiences from discovery through prototyping, implementation, and iteration. You will research field workflows, design interactions for desktop 3D and AR/XR environments, build and test functional prototypes, and work with engineers to deliver interfaces that help users understand inspections, robot activity, findings, and exceptions.
Requirements
- Experience owning complex product experiences from discovery through delivery
- Strong spatial and interaction-design skills demonstrated through shipped products or substantial working prototypes
- Experience designing for AR/XR, 3D applications, robotics, technical tools, or similar environments
- Ability to build interactive prototypes in code or a real-time development environment
- Ability to collaborate on production implementation
- Judgment regarding attention, readability, input methods, hardware limitations, and physical surroundings
- Experience working directly with users
- Experience with Unity, Unreal, Three.js, React, or native XR frameworks
Responsibilities
- Research the tasks, constraints, and decisions of field operators, data analysts, and facility workers
- Define workflows and interactions for desktop 3D applications and AR/XR devices
- Build functional prototypes with representative spatial data and test them with users
- Contribute to interface implementation with product engineers
- Design experiences for understanding robot activity, inspection coverage, findings, and exceptions
- Establish interaction principles for spatial navigation, selection, annotation, information hierarchy, and feedback
- Evaluate task completion, comprehension, and operator workload to guide iteration
