#Mid-Senior

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all. We are looking for a Senior Staff Product Designer to join as the design lead for our Customer Experience team, reporting directly to the Head of Design. This is a player/coach role. You will carry significant IC responsibility while directly managing one Product Designer who is focused on load planning and exception management.

Your mandate is the end-to-end customer journey that makes autonomous freight a reality. You will design the suite of tools used by trucking and logistics companies to activate and manage daily operations for a fleet of self-driving trucks. While autonomous technology is genuinely new territory for our customers, your job is to design experiences that feel familiar, intuitive, and integrated into their existing ecosystems. This isn’t a SaaS dashboard exercise. These are high-stakes operational tools that a vehicle operator or load planner needs to adopt to safely run an autonomous truck.

In this role, you will

• Own the customer experience blueprint. Define how interactions with the Aurora Driver are consistent, simple, and unified with the broader operational ecosystem
• Design customer-facing digital tools across web, mobile, and partner integrations
• Do just enough research to generate actionable insight, then use it to drive product decisions, not decorate them
• Tie your work directly to outcomes. For example, ensure support feels like a natural part of the product by designing self-serve recovery paths that allow users to resolve issues in under 5 minutes
• Manage and develop one Product Designer, and contribute to raising the bar for the broader design practice

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in product design, with a track record of leading complex, multi-workstream projects
• Experience formally managing other designers
• A portfolio showing end-to-end work across research and design for complex enterprise, operational, or mission-critical systems, with clear evidence of business impact
• Expertise in interaction design, information architecture, and UX research with a high bar for visual design quality
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate research insights and design rationale into clear, compelling narratives for executive, cross-functional, and technical audiences

Desirable Qualifications 

• Experience with autonomous technology, hardware-software integrated products, or physical supply chain logistics
• Demonstrated ability to use AI across the design lifecycle without losing judgment

The base salary range for this position is $171K-$247K per year.  Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
