You’ll initially focus in one product space, and will have the opportunity to work on various projects and product areas over time – including the design of our passenger user experience, autonomous vehicle fleet management, driving behavior, internal R&D tools, and next generation vehicles.
Please submit your resume, and an online or PDF portfolio with at least 3 projects that best represent your capabilities, skills and interests.

- Experience with planning large workstreams, meeting measurable goals and deadlines
- Strong experience in all stages of the design process, from early strategy and ideation, wireframes and prototypes, to the final implementation of UI design.

- Experience working closely with engineers in an agile development process
- Experience taking feedback from users, and iterating on design
- Solid grasp on user interaction and animation principles
- The ability to be flexible and inventive, using non-traditional approaches and techniques to design, given our product space
- Experience with industry standard design tools, such as Sketch, Zeplin, Figma, and the Adobe Creative Suite.

- Experience with any sort of programming (i.e. JS/CSS)
- Experience working on autonomous vehicles
Why you should join us:
- This role offers the opportunity to work on extremely challenging problems that haven’t been solved at scale. We’re looking for someone excited to tackle problems such as – how do we make a person feel comfortable with riding in a car that’s driving itself? How can we manage a fleet of robotic vehicles moving around a city? How do we make vehicles accessible without a human to help? Our team is driven, not afraid, to solve problems like this.
- Motional’s Product Team, where this role sits, is at the forefront of setting the vision for our products – from the experience of riding in an autonomous vehicle, to how to manage a fleet, to how roads are mapped, and more. We lead with a user-focused mindset, and as a Senior UX/UI Designer you’ll have a direct impact in shaping the future of mobility as a whole.
- Lastly, while autonomous vehicles have been around for years, we are finally bringing this technology to market at scale. With over 100,000 public autonomous rides, and partnerships with major ride hailing players, a role at Motional offers the chance to drive the next revolution in mobility.
- Rewards and advantages - Competitive compensation with bonus potential, competitive health benefits, 401K with matching contribution, unlimited PTO, commuter benefits, discount programs, opportunities to give back to the community, relocation assistance (if applicable), meaningful work that makes a difference in the world, and and much more!
