Designer

We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform:
🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity.
🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously.

This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.

• We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!

• As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.

• Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.

• Be the first Product Designer and define our design practice from the ground up.

• Conduct research with scientists to understand workflows, motivations, and mental models.

• Turn insights into simple, elegant user flows and polished UI that customers love.

• Prototype rapidly to validate ideas.

• Collaborate deeply with engineers to ship high-quality experiences in small iterations.

• Build foundational UX patterns and a lightweight design system for speed and consistency.

• Conducting user research and interviews to develop empathy for our customers, including an understanding of their pain points, goals and objectives and usability concerns

• Quickly iterating to problem-solve, prototype and test new designs and solutions with Engineering, Product and small, nimble cross-functional teams

• Driving clarity by effectively communicating design assets and building empathy for our customers among stakeholders

• Working with scrappy teams, ship skateboards not cars

• Interest and experience in robotics

This position is 100% in-person, you must be able to come on-site to our San Francisco office. We offer relocation benefits for applicants who need to relocate.
