Staff Product Designer

About Us Agtonomy brings intelligent automation to agriculture, turf, and other demanding industries through Physical AI and software services. By partnering with trusted equipment manufacturers, we deliver factory-fit technology that transforms industrial machines into smart, efficient solutions built for safety and performance. Our team combines expertise in technology, product development, and industry knowledge to address critical challenges like labor shortages, sustainability, and productivity. We’re looking for people who want to work in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where their ideas can make a real impact.   About the Role As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll shape how people put autonomous machines to work in the real world. You’ll own the experience across mobile and tablet apps, web tools for analytics and reporting, and emerging interfaces like voice, helping teams direct machines, understand their performance, and keep work moving. You’ll define how humans and autonomous systems work together, rebuild our information architecture around how operators work day to day, and bring field insight and a point of view to the roadmap. You’ll partner with our Creative Director: they own brand and visual design, you own the user experience, and together you shape how the product looks and feels. We encourage you to lead with AI to explore faster and to prototype and communicate ideas. Your judgment shapes the final design. What You'll Do • Own the core workflows of running an autonomous fleet of industrial machines: set up a site, plan and dispatch work, supervise and intervene, resolve a stop or fault, review outcomes. • Define how people will direct our machines next, including voice and agent interaction, and get the first steps onto the roadmap. • Shape our platform strategy: what belongs on phone, tablet, and web, what to consolidate or drop, and how new modes of interaction change each. • Help decide what we build, alongside product owners and the executive team. • Design a unified information architecture, object model, and shared vocabulary for human and machine that engineering adopts in code and that carries into new domains without a redesign. • Write the interaction guidelines and specs that let engineers and AI tools get it right without you in every review. • Work with our Creative Director to carry our visual language into the product, so it looks and works as one. • Lead on-site user research with operators across domains, and turn those insights into design direction. • Provide fast, clear direction on in-flight design questions while protecting time for long-term work. What You'll Bring • You’ve owned the information architecture and user journeys for at least one complex product, end to end. • You have strong design judgment and can explain why one structure serves users better than another. • You write well. Your specs and rationale stand on their own, and you can get consistent results out of AI tools. • You’ve designed mobile and web as one system, and you know how to handle spotty connectivity and the edge cases that come up in the field. • You’ve done hands-on UX research, ideally in the field. You’re comfortable spending days on site with operators and turning what you see into decisions the team can act on. • You’re fluent in current AI design tools and know where they fall short. • You’ve worked directly with engineers, and your patterns have shipped in code. • You like startup pace, with lots of ambiguity and quick decisions, and you also enjoy helping the organization grow up. What Makes You a Strong Fit • Voice, conversational, or agent-based interaction design, especially in hands-busy, eyes-busy environments. • First or only designer at a startup, or experience across more than one industrial domain. • Experience designing for people who supervise or direct machines or high-stakes systems: robotics, autonomous vehicles, fleet, industrial, medical, aviation, or similar.
