First Resonance is looking for a UX Designer to join our Los Angeles based team. You will directly impact our customer experience strategies while partnering creatively and strategically with a cross-functional team. Your innovative user experience flows will empower engineers and technicians to more efficiently build the future of hardware.

Are you excited by the opportunity to assist manufacturers working on eVTOLS, rockets, robots, and autonomous vehicles? The most important characteristic of our product team is their interest and eagerness to support companies that are tackling some of society’s greatest challenges such as climate change, space exploration, and autonomous transportation.

With this role, you will join a diverse team with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We pride ourselves on being fast learners, quick-thinkers, and agile executors. While a spur-of-the-moment ping pong tournament is occasionally required, our number one priority is always assisting our ION customers with our manufacturing platform. If you want to play a key role in the future of hardware and Industry 4.0, come join us!

Responsibilities & Duties:

  • Bring a rich user experience to people building physical products in complex workflows; Give rocket scientists superpowers!

  • Research, create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals

  • Tackle interesting, complex problems. Working closely with your engineering and product partners, you'll have a large amount of ownership and autonomy across the entire design process; rather than just design individual features, you'll have the opportunity to define the end-to-end experience.

Minimum Qualifications & Skills:

  • 5+ years of professional experience, ideally designing complex or enterprise-level software

  • A great portfolio showcasing both web and mobile design projects

  • A customer-centric mindset to understand, frame, and solve problems
