Job description
Product Designer, Industrial Solutions
Location: USRemote Job Term: Full-Time
The Opportunity
Picarro is looking for a Product Designer to own the design portfolio across our Industrial Solutions products. This is a hands-on role for someone who thinks in systems, sweats the details, and can move fluidly between design and code. Shaping how our products look, feel, and behave from prototype through production.
Good design at Picarro means something specific: our users are compliance managers, EHS leads, and field operators making high-stakes decisions under real-world constraints. We care about clarity, trust, and workflow efficiency — not engagement or delight for its own sake.
You will define and maintain design standards across Industrial Solutions, contribute directly to prototypes, and make production code contributions that bring designs to life. You will work closely with PM and engineering to ensure design intent survives the handoff, ensuring that what ships matches what was envisioned.
Responsibilities
Design Ownership
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.
User Research & Workflow Design
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.
Prototype Development
Collaborate with PM to build and refine product prototypes. You contribute, shape, and raise the quality bar before engineering picks work up.
Production Contributions
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.
Design Review
Review production PRs for design and UX fidelity. Catch drift between intent and implementation before it reaches customers.
Design System Stewardship
Own and evolve the design system for Industrial Solutions, including components, patterns, and documentation to ensure consistency across the product surface.
Qualifications
- 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.
Preferred Qualifications
- 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.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Picarro. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
