With a world-class team, we're unlocking the next era of autonomous transportation with technology that's powering commercial autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Waabi is backed by and partners with world leaders in AI, automotive, logistics, and deep tech. We're seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead the design of Waabi's driverless commercial and operations ecosystem, and the critical tools and interfaces that support scaling our company forward. This is not a typical product design role. You'll design workflows where a human decision can pull a 40-ton truck off the road or send it back into traffic. You'll join as the second product designer at Waabi, working closely with the first (your hiring manager) to establish design culture, systems, and processes as the team grows. You'll ship designs in code from your first week. And will grow to own the full human-to-robot experience, designing everything from fleet management software to the interior and exterior interfaces of our AVs. Design fleet management and remote assistance workflows: Define and design the end-to-end workflows that operations staff use to monitor, dispatch, and intervene with AVs in real time. This includes dashboards, pre-mission checks, remote assistance, and the operational procedures that connect them. Take a first-principles approach to design by stepping out of the office. You'll observe users, terminal staff, and fleet operators in their actual environments to gain deep insights into their workflows and streamline processes. Design for AI and Automation: Define how humans interact with highly capable AI systems, creating intuitive workflows for fleet tracking, vehicle dispatch, remote assistance, and on-the-ground operational exception handling. Build and extend our design system: Ship directly in code: You'll contribute to production React codebases using AI-assisted tools (Copilot, Cursor), not hand off static specs. The shipped product is the deliverable. Work with PMs, engineers, researchers,
and operations teams to define requirements and translate them into effective design solutions. Experience building complex tools: Strong design craft and judgment: You raise the bar, push for excellence, and balance visual polish with usability, making smart, user-centered tradeoffs. You design in code, are comfortable with component libraries, and see AI-assisted coding as a natural way of iterating. You know the shipped product is a key measure of success. Bonus: time at Waymo, Cruise, Aurora, Nuro, or a freight/logistics company). Experience designing for real-time monitoring, dispatch, or command-and-control interfaces. Background that touches industrial design, hardware interfaces, or physical operations environments (terminals, warehouses, test tracks). Experience designing products that transitioned from prototype/internal usage to customer/external-facing, demonstrating the ability to scale designs for broader user adoption. Note: The Company provides additional compensation for employees in this role, including equity incentive awards and an annual performance bonus. Competitive compensation and equity awards. Health and Wellness benefits encompassing Medical, Dental and Vision coverage (for full time employees only). Unlimited Vacation. Flexible hours and Work from Home support. Daily drinks, snacks and catered meals (when in office). Regularly scheduled team building activities and social events both on-site, off-site & virtually.
