Senior Product Designer

Radical AI is replacing an R&D process that currently takes 10+ years and $100 million to produce a single discovery. Our self-driving lab platform combines AI with autonomous robotics to run experiments, analyze results, and iterate—continuously, without human bottlenecks. For industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, and space, that means breakthroughs in weeks instead of years. The Role We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join Radical as our first dedicated designer—partnering directly with our Director of Digital Experience to shape experiences across our lab informatics platform, Sentinel, and hardware‑facing lab display interfaces.
