This role is best suited for someone who is highly collaborative, detail-oriented, and comfortable working through constraints alongside engineers and external partners.
You will be part of a tight feedback loop—iterating, prototyping, refining user-focused designs and developing integrated solutions that are not just innovative, but reliable and manufacturable at scale.
Working closely with experienced engineering teams and OEM partners, we value practical problem-solving, clear communication, and hands-on engagement. Our environment prioritizes substance grounded in offering the opportunity to deliver meaningful work on products that go beyond concept and into transformative self-driving real-world use.
In this role, you will
Develop thoughtful user-centric, well-resolved design solutions for self-driving kit vehicle integration and user interactions - Engaged with user researchers and product team experts.
Communicate ideas through sketching, CAD, and high-quality visual assets to support storytelling and curation of concepts, in collaboration with design and marketing teams.
Partner closely with engineering and aero partners to balance design intent with performance and feasibility.
Collaborate with vehicle teams for seamless platform integration including mounting, protection, serviceability, and applying DFM principles in support of scalability.
Prototype and test designs to validate decisions and identify potential issues early in the process.
Collaborate with OEM partners and suppliers to align on requirements and maintain practical documentation to support the manufacturing process.
Required Qualifications
3–6+ years of experience in industrial, automotive or product design.
A portfolio demonstrating strong execution and a grasp of the end to end process from discovery through DFM refinement.
Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, Alias, Keyshot or similar) for A-Surface design iteration development and visualization.
Strong sketching skills used as a thinking tool and high fidelity presentation tool internally and externally.
Working knowledge of manufacturing processes (injection molding, CNC, sheet metal, etc.) and experience collaborating with engineers on complex products.
Desirable Qualifications
Familiarity with OEM or product design studio development environments and supplier collaboration.
Exposure to sensor integration, including LiDAR, radar, and cameras.
A strong curiosity regarding product assembly and a willingness to refine designs based on real-world constraints.
High ownership, a focus on quality outcomes, and meticulous attention to detail.
The base salary range for this position is $154K-$223K per year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
Working at Aurora
At Aurora, we bring together extraordinarily talented and experienced people united by the strength of our values. We operate with integrity, set outrageous goals, and build a culture where we win together — all without any jerks.
