Senior Product Designer

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company of scientists and engineers, developing machine learning applications to massively accelerate physics simulations and enable a new frontier of optimisation opportunities in design, engineering, and systems control.

We help our customers fundamentally improve their concepts and designs, transform their engineering processes and drive operational product performance. We do this in some of the most advanced and important industries of our time – including Renewables & Sustainability, Space, Aerospace, Medical Devices, Additive Manufacturing and Energy. Our work creates positive impact for society, be it by improving the design of artificial hearts, reducing CO2 emissions from aircraft and road vehicles, or increasing the performance of wind turbines. 

We are a rapidly growing company but prefer to fly under the radar to protect our customers’ confidentiality. We are about to take the next leap in building out our technology platform and product offering. In this context, we are looking for capable and enthusiastic Product Designers to join our team. If all of this sounds exciting to you, we would love to talk (even if you don't tick all the boxes).

Position Overview:

We’re seeking an exceptional Senior Product Designer who thrives on creating innovative, user-centred design solutions for enterprise applications. As a Senior Product Designer, you will work at the intersection of AI, engineering, and design, shaping intuitive workflows for expert users in complex systems.

What you will do

• Lead strategic discovery efforts: Conduct user research to uncover deep insights, translating complex workflows into intuitive designs for enterprise users.
• Deliver innovative solutions: Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that solve intricate user problems and drive business value.
• Shape design direction: Define and maintain scalable design systems and component libraries for consistency across products.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with simulation engineers, data scientists and stakeholders to deliver technically feasible and impactful designs.
• Iterate for excellence: Use user feedback, analytics, and testing to refine and optimise designs.
• Influence the organisation: Champion user-centred design practices across teams and mentor junior designers to raise the quality of design outcomes.
• Innovate with technology: Stay ahead of industry trends, exploring emerging tools and techniques to enhance enterprise solutions.

What you bring to the table

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in product design, with a portfolio demonstrating complex, enterprise-grade projects.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or equivalent practical experience.
• Technical expertise: Deep understanding of enterprise UX/UI design principles, with experience in both 2D and 3D interfaces.
• Tools: Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and research platforms such as Dovetail.
• Skills: Exceptional communication, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities. Strong ability to articulate design decisions to diverse audiences.
• Bonus points: Experience with 3D design tools (e.g., Blender, Houdini, Unity3D), AI/ML-driven applications, or designing for expert users like Mechanical Engineers or Data Scientists.

What we offer

• Be part of something larger: Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company. Work on some of the most exciting and important topics there are. Do something you can be proud of 
• Work with a fun group of colleagues that support you, challenge you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields and solve truly challenging problems in science and engineering. If you are similarly capable, caring and driven, you'll find yourself at home here 
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy. Voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo 
• Work sustainably, striking the right balance between work and personal life.
• Receive a competitive compensation and equity package, in addition to plenty of perks such as generous vacation and parental leave, complimentary office food, as well as fun outings and events
• Work in a flexible setting, with the opportunity to collaborate in our lovely Shoreditch office and enjoy a good proportion of time working from home, if desired. Get the opportunity to occasionally visit our customers' engineering sites and experience first-hand how our work is transforming their ways of working
• Use first-class equipment for working in-office or remotely, including HPC 

Our stance 

We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics.
