From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.

Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, Interaction or UX Design, Industrial Design, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Comfort navigating ambiguity and defining UX strategy in innovation problem spaces
Strong portfolio demonstrating design across both digital interfaces and physical/environmental touchpoints, or a clear understanding of how digital products exist within physical contexts
Proficiency in modern design and supporting AI tools (Figma, Figma-Make, Kiro, or similar)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with UX design of complex workflows
Experience in service design involving combination of physical and digital spaces and designing large-scale systems and interactions with a large and vast group of stakeholders
