PRODUCT DESIGNER, INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS
Location: US Remote Job Term: Full-Time
THE OPPORTUNITY
Picarro is looking for a Product Designer to own the design portfolio across our
Industrial Solutions products. This is a hands-on role for someone who thinks in
systems, sweats the details, and can move fluidly between design and code.
Shaping how our products look, feel, and behave from prototype through
production.
Good design at Picarro means something specific: our users are compliance
managers, EHS leads, and field operators making high-stakes decisions under
real-world constraints. We care about clarity, trust, and workflow efficiency —
not engagement or delight for its own sake.
You will define and maintain design standards across Industrial Solutions,
contribute directly to prototypes, and make production code contributions that
bring designs to life. You will work closely with PM and engineering to ensure
design intent survives the handoff, ensuring that what ships matches what was
envisioned.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design Ownership
Own the design portfolio for Industrial Solutions, establishing and maintaining
visual, interaction, and workflow standards across all products. You are the
voice of design quality on the team.
User Research & Workflow Design
Deeply understand how industrial customers, compliance managers, EHS leads, and
field operators work. Map user journeys, identify friction, and translate
complex operational workflows into product experiences that are intuitive under
real-world conditions.
Prototype Development
Collaborate with PM to build and refine product prototypes. You contribute,
shape, and raise the quality bar before engineering picks work up.
Production Contributions
Make targeted code contributions in production to implement or refine UI and
interaction patterns. You bridge the gap between what design specifies and what
engineering delivers.
Design Review
Review production PRs for design and UX fidelity. Catch drift between intent and
implementation before it reaches customers.
Design System Stewardship
Own and evolve the design system for Industrial Solutions, including components,
patterns, and documentation to ensure consistency across the product surface.
QUALIFICATIONS
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Design, HCI, or
a related field.
* 3–5 years of experience in a design engineering, UX engineering, or product
design role.
* A portfolio of shipped product work — we want to see what you’ve built, how
you think, and how your design decisions held up in production.
* Demonstrated ability to design and document complex user workflows, not just
screens.
* Strong visual and UX design sensibility with the vocabulary to clearly
articulate design decisions.
* Proficiency with Figma for user flows, wireframing, prototyping, and handoff.
* Proficiency in React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS; you can read, write, and
contribute to production code.
* Experience owning or contributing to a design system.
* Comfortable working closely with both PMs and engineers — you can speak both
languages.
* AI-forward mindset with hands-on experience using AI tools in your design and
development workflow.
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience designing for data-dense, industrial, or enterprise environments
where users are managing complex operational workflows.
* Comfort working with user research outputs, synthesizing interview findings,
usability results, and journey maps to inform design decisions.
* Experience building prototypes that informed real engineering work, not just
mockups.
* Exposure to backend systems sufficient to understand technical constraints on
design decisions.
* Experience with or understanding of AI agents applied to design or frontend
development workflows.
* Prior experience in a startup or high-growth technology company.
