About the role: 

We're looking for a Product Designer who will define the next generation of tools that empower hardware engineers and manufacturing teams to innovate. This role is ideal for someone who puts users first, dives deep into complex technical requirements with curiosity, and designs intuitive workflows that eliminate friction.

As Duro scales to thousands of engineering users, you'll be foundational in helping define our product experience, establishing design patterns, and assisting in how we translate complex feature requirements into elegant, usable solutions. You will design workflows and architecture that enable hardware teams to innovate without obstacles.
This role blends interaction design, systems thinking, and close engineering collaboration. You may be looking to grow as a Product Designer, or grow into Design Leadership, or Product Strategy.

 A day in the life of our UI/UX Designer:

Design & Research

  • Design clear, efficient user workflows that simplify complex engineering tasks
  • Conduct user observations, behavioral analysis, and research to uncover opportunities and validate solutions
  • Interact with customers via interviews and user testing and analysis
  • Create interaction models, user flows, and prototypes that define product architecture and direction

Manage a growing Design System

  • Collaboration with Engineering
  • Design and maintain robust design systems in Figma that seamlessly translate to production code
  • Work iteratively with engineers to ensure design intent is faithfully implemented with high quality
  • Partner closely with Front End and Back End Engineering teams throughout the entire design and development cycle
  • Document design decisions, patterns, and system behaviors to support development and team knowledge

Product Partnership

  • Collaborate with product managers, engineering teams, and senior designers to inform feature scope and strategic priorities
  • Present design concepts, rationale, and workflow improvements to stakeholders
  • Champion user needs and maintain cohesive product experiences across the organization

Who We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years experience in Product Design, UX Design, or Interaction Design
  • Bachelor’s Degree: BA or BS in Product Design, Industrial Design, Interaction Design, or Engineering.
  • Expert proficiency with Figma as primary design tool
  • Proven experience implementing design systems — both in Figma and in close collaboration with Front End Engineering teams
  • Strong understanding of usability heuristics (Nielsen Norman Group principles)
  • Portfolio demonstrating workflow design, interaction design, and systems thinking
  • Experience designing for complex, technical, or multi-step workflows
  • Creative, organized, and able to work independently
  • Collaborative team player who brings solutions without ego
  • Clear communication skills across written, verbal, and visual formats
  • Empathy & User-Centricity: A deep understanding of user pain points and the ability to advocate for user needs.
  • Collaboration & Teamwork: Proven experience working with cross-functional teams (engineers, product managers, marketers).
  • Communication & Presentation: Clearly articulating design rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Problem-Solving & Critical Thinking: Analyzing complex problems and generating innovative, user-friendly solutions.
  • Adaptability & Iteration: Flexibility to adjust to changing requirements and iterate on designs based on feedback.
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous focus on quality and aesthetic consistency.
  • Curiosity & Growth Mindset: A desire to keep up with industry trends and constantly improve skills. 

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with engineering tools, CAD software, or other technical product environments
  • Background in hardware engineering or exposure to hardware development workflows
  • Familiarity working alongside technical teams in product development
  • Comfortable with using AI to assist with ideation and productivity

Why This Role Matters
You'll design the tools that hardware engineers and manufacturing teams rely on daily. Your work directly impacts their ability to innovate, iterate, and bring products to life. Through close collaboration with engineering, you'll ensure thoughtful design becomes powerful, friction-free software.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
