Product Designer, Industrial Solutions

Picarro is a company delivering data-driven solutions for industrial and environmental applications. The Product Designer will own the design portfolio for Industrial Solutions, conduct user and workflow research, develop prototypes, contribute to production code, review design fidelity, and steward the product design system.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• 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
• Collaborate with PM to build and refine product prototypes. You contribute, shape, and raise the quality bar before engineering picks work up
• 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
• Review production PRs for design and UX fidelity. Catch drift between intent and implementation before it reaches customers
• Own and evolve the design system for Industrial Solutions, including components, patterns, and documentation to ensure consistency across the product surface

Requirements:

• 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
• 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
