• Collaborate closely with PM and Eng to create and validate UX solutions for highly technical and complex engineering challenges 
• Author PRDs and usability test reports each release to inform the roadmap of the products you're responsible for
• Expand and evolve our "Dragonfruit" design system

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of relevant product design experience
• Shipped software in fast-paced, technical environments
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

• Experience in the autonomous vehicle industry
