Senior Product Designer

About Circuit
Circuit is the AI execution layer for the physical economy.
Industrial and manufacturing enterprises run on expertise: the hard-won knowledge of how complex products are engineered, configured, sold, and supported. That expertise is scarce, slow to transfer, and walking out the door as a generation of experts retires. It lives in PDFs, spreadsheets, and the heads of a few people, and the hardest technical decisions wait on whoever happens to know.
Circuit puts expert judgment in everyone's hands. We capture how the best people make critical technical decisions and turn it into agents that do the judgment-heavy work, so anyone, regardless of skill level, can make the right call, from quote to install and support, with the accuracy these environments demand.
Circuit is built by operators. Our leadership team has built and scaled real industrial companies, and we are already live in production with category-leading manufacturers. We are not bolting AI onto an old playbook. We are building the layer that runs the last mile of how the physical economy executes.
The Role
As a Senior Product Designer at Circuit, you'll lead the creation of intuitive, high-impact experiences across web and mobile platforms. You'll own major product design end-to-end, from insight to implementation, driving solutions that solve real user needs at scale. You'll collaborate deeply with PMs, engineers, and leadership—bringing clarity to complexity, craft to strategy, and heart to every interaction. This is a unique opportunity to shape not just what we build, but how we build it — evolving our design systems, championing UX excellence, and influencing our product vision at a foundational level.

Key Responsibilities

- Own design execution for roadmap initiatives, from problem framing through shipped product, in partnership with product.

- Translate complex workflows and data into intuitive, elegant user experiences

- Design for trust in AI-driven decisions — how users understand, verify, and act on agent recommendations, on desktop and in the field.

- Lead discovery efforts—synthesizing insights from users, data, and stakeholders

- Create high-fidelity designs and prototypes that are both visually polished and functionally robust

- Collaborate closely with engineering and PM to define product direction and ensure design feasibility

- Conduct and lead user research, usability testing, and iterative validation

- Drive the evolution of Circuit’s design system and interaction patterns

- Advocate for inclusive, accessible design in all product decisions

Experience

- 5-8 years of experience designing digital products in cross-functional environments

- A strong portfolio of shipped work that demonstrates elegant problem-solving across platforms

- Proven ability to drive ambiguous projects from discovery to delivery

- Experience working as an embedded designer partnered with product and engineering on a fast-moving technical roadmap.

- Deep expertise with Figma (components, prototyping, versioning) and other design tools

- Experience designing for both web and mobile; comfort designing for users in the field (interrupted, low-attention, mobile-first contexts)

- Fluency in design systems, accessibility standards, and responsive design

- Strong product thinking and systems-level design mindset

- Comfortable prototyping in code with AI-assisted tools — you can take a design from Figma to a working prototype engineers can react to, and you're fluent enough in the front end to understand what's feasible.

Human Skills

- Comfortable getting close to unfamiliar, technical domains — you'd rather sit with a field technician than guess.

- Relentlessly curious and detail-oriented

- Clear communicator and thoughtful collaborator

- Confident giving and receiving candid, constructive feedback

- Passionate about great design, strong teams, and meaningful impact

What We Offer

- High-caliber team of seasoned manufacturing and AI leaders

- Help create a category-defining platform transforming how manufacturers sell, support, and innovate

- Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and employer-paid benefits

- Flexible PTO and access to the latest AI tools

- A values-driven culture that rewards ownership, curiosity and velocity
