About the role

Product Designer responsible for establishing the design language for autonomous manufacturing systems. Focus on user interactions and ensuring intuitive operation for diverse stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Own the design of Cell Experience across every interaction surface: operator software (operations, analytics, settings), physical interfaces (e-stop, lights, sound, feedback), and the service touch-points around them.
Design for the full journey: how a cell is introduced, onboarded, monitored, handed over, and understood: by operators, supervisors, plant managers, and field engineers.
Define the interaction models, system behaviours, and design principles that make autonomous systems feel safe and intuitive to people who didn't choose them and weren't trained on them.
Develop Sunrise's design language into a fleet-coherent system that scales across diverse manufacturing environments.
Design for real-world conditions: edge cases, failure modes, alert states, and recovery flows in noisy, high-stakes settings.
Prototype concepts across software and physical surfaces: UI flows, light system logic, display hierarchies, and feedback mechanisms.
Work directly with engineering disciplines to ensure designs translate faithfully into production-quality behaviour.
Validate designs with operators and other users in live settings, and iterate on what actually happens on the floor.
Set the standard for design quality, clarity, and craft as the design function grows.

Experience carrying design across both product and service - you think about the full journey, not just the interface.
Strong foundation in UX, interaction design, and service design, with high visual quality and the ability to work across all dimensions.
Experience designing for high-stakes, complex systems where the people using them didn't commission them and can't always stop when something goes wrong. That might be manufacturing - or it might be healthcare, transport, logistics, financial services, or a comparable domain.
The ability to think in systems: across states, flows, behaviours, environments, and the humans moving through all of them.
Proficiency with Figma and the ability to move quickly from concept to testable prototype.
Clear, structured communication. You are able to articulate design rationale and drive decisions across engineering, product, and leadership.
Strong sense of ownership and the confidence to make decisions without existing processes to fall back on.
