Amazon Robotics is seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead the design of experiences that span the digital and physical worlds, from the screen-based tools technicians use to diagnose robotic systems, to the physical touchpoints, labels, and spatial workflows they navigate on the fulfillment center floor.

You"ll define what "Exceptional UX" means in an environment where the user"s hands are often occupied, and every second of downtime costs throughput. This means designing not just pixels, but the full interaction arc: how a technician receives an alert, locates the problem, accesses the right information, performs the repair, and confirms resolution.

Key job responsibilities

  • Design across the digital-physical spectrum including screen-based diagnostic tools, hardware interface panels, and spatial wayfinding.
  • Define interaction models for complex, data-rich interfaces optimized for gloved hands.
  • Design for the senses by considering visual, auditory, and haptic feedback in environments where a screen may not be the primary channel
  • Create scalable mechanisms and reusable design patterns that multiply team impact across multiple robotics programs.
  • Map end-to-end service journeys that account for body posture, environment, tool-in-hand constraints, and transitions between digital interfaces and physical tasks
  • Lead UX research efforts with our product partners in the field through contextual inquiry on the warehouse floor, shadowing technicians during repairs, and observing how physical environment shapes interaction with digital tools
  • Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, software engineering, product management, industrial design, and operations to ensure physical and digital touchpoints are coherent
  • Mentor junior designers and elevate UX maturity across the organization
  • Advocate for the end user by bringing field-grounded insights into roadmap and prioritization discussions
  • Synthesize quantitative operational data with qualitative field insights to inform design priorities and trade-offs
  • Produce written and visual artifacts that influence product roadmaps and senior leadership decisions

A day in the life

As a Senior Product Designer on the Amazon Robotics team, you"ll shape how people interact with advanced robotic systems across Amazon"s fulfillment network. Your focus is designing the interfaces and workflows technicians use to diagnose and maintain robots, creating a seamless connection between what"s on screen and what"s happening on the floor.

You"ll conduct field research, create prototypes, design compelling experiences, and collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, industrial designers, and human factors engineers. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems and first principles, not just screens.

Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children can use.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
