Product Designer, HMI

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a product designer focused on human-machine interfaces for future vehicles. The role owns design direction for a strategically important HMI project, moving from early concepts to production-quality interface work.

This is a robotics-adjacent design job where the interface has to make vehicle state, controls, and autonomy behavior understandable. The designer will need to work closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders while carrying end-to-end ownership of the visual and interaction system.

What you would work on

• Lead HMI design from concept explorations through production-ready product surfaces
• Create flows, prototypes, and interface systems for vehicle and autonomy experiences
• Partner with product and engineering teams to turn technical constraints into usable designs
• Build design direction for a new Applied Intuition project with strategic weight
• Validate and refine interfaces for complex real-world vehicle contexts

What they are asking for

• Product, UX, interaction, or HMI design experience for complex digital products
• Strong visual craft and prototyping ability
• Comfort working with technical teams on ambiguous product problems
• Ability to own design decisions while collaborating in a fast-moving office environment

Why this one is worth a look

HMI is one of the places where autonomy becomes legible to the people around it. Applied's customer mix makes this especially notable: the designer may be shaping interfaces that need to survive demanding technical, operational, and safety expectations.
