Staff Product Designer

Staff Product Designer role at Gecko Robotics focused on turning spatial data into clear, useful experiences for field operators and industrial workers. Responsibilities Partner with field operators, data analysts, and facility workers to understand tasks, constraints, and on-the-job decision-making Define workflows and interactions across desktop 3D applications and AR/XR devices, selecting the right medium for each task Create functional prototypes using representative spatial data, then test concepts with real users Collaborate directly on interface implementation with product engineers, leveraging their support for architecture, data integration, performance, and production reliability Design experiences that support understanding of robot activity, inspection coverage, findings, and exceptions within physical environments Set consistent interaction principles for spatial navigation, selection, annotation, information hierarchy, and feedback Measure what improves task completion, comprehension, and operator workload, and use findings to guide iteration Select a valuable field workflow, establish an initial interaction direction, and deliver a working experience in partnership with engineering for evaluation in a representative environment Requirements Experience owning complex product experiences from discovery through delivery Strong spatial and interaction-design capability, evidenced by shipped products or substantial working prototypes Experience designing for AR/XR, 3D applications, robotics, technical tools, or similar demanding environments Ability to build interactive prototypes in code or a real-time development environment and collaborate on production implementation Judgment around attention, readability, input methods, hardware limitations, and how digital interfaces relate to physical surroundings Comfort setting direction in an emerging product area while working directly with users Experience with tools such as Unity, Unreal, Three.js, React, or native XR frameworks would be useful Technologies Unity Unreal Three.js React Native XR frameworks What success looks like Within the first 3 to 6 months : identify a valuable field workflow, establish initial interaction direction, and deliver a working experience with engineering for user evaluation in a representative environment Use user feedback to shape the next release Start as an individual contributor role with substantial ownership and the potential to grow into broader team leadership Compensation & location Location: New York, NY (onsite) Compensation range: USD 196,000 - 255,000 per year Benefits Company equity 401(k) matching Gender-neutral parental leave Full medical, dental, and vision insurance Mental health support Ongoing professional development Family planning assistance Flexible paid time off Competitive compensation packages #J-18808-Ljbffr
