Junior Product Designer

About the position

The role

At Mach9, Product Designers craft the core experience that brings the power of AI and geospatial data to civil engineers around the world. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to translate deeply technical problems into clear, intuitive tools that accelerate infrastructure design.

This role is ideal for designers with a strong technical foundation who is excited to work on complex systems and learn quickly in a fast-moving startup environment. You don’t need decades of experience — but you should be comfortable thinking rigorously about systems, constraints, and spatial problems.

Responsibilities

• Design user experiences for web-based 2D and 3D tools used in surveying and infrastructure workflows
• Work closely with engineers to turn early prototypes into polished, usable features
• Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure clarity and consistency across the product
• Translate complex technical requirements into clear interaction patterns and UI solutions
• Balance thoughtful design exploration with rapid iteration to get features in users’ hands quickly
• Support user research efforts and help synthesize feedback into actionable improvements

Requirements

• A degree or background in architecture, industrial design, engineering, computer science, or a similarly technical field
• Experience using CAD, 3D modeling tools, or other precision design software
• Strong systems thinking — you naturally think about how parts connect and how decisions ripple across a product
• Comfort working in Figma and building structured, reusable components
• Interest in or exposure to 3D interfaces, spatial thinking, or data-heavy tools
• Clear communication skills and eagerness to collaborate closely with engineers
• Excitement about working in an early-stage startup where priorities shift and learning happens fast

Nice-to-haves

• Exposure to interaction design for tools, editors, or developer workflows
• Familiarity with frontend concepts (React, component architecture, interaction states)
• Personal or academic projects involving 3D visualization, CAD workflows, or spatial interfaces
• Participation in usability testing or hands-on user observation
