The role:
At Mach9, Product Designers craft the core experience that brings the power of AI and geospatial data to civil engineers around the world. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to translate deeply technical problems into clear, intuitive tools that accelerate infrastructure design.
This role is ideal for designers with a strong technical foundation who is excited to work on complex systems and learn quickly in a fast-moving startup environment.
You don’t need decades of experience — but you should be comfortable thinking rigorously about systems, constraints, and spatial problems.
Where you will make an impact:
Design user experiences for web-based 2D and 3D tools used in surveying and infrastructure workflows
Work closely with engineers to turn early prototypes into polished, usable features
Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure clarity and consistency across the product
Translate complex technical requirements into clear interaction patterns and UI solutions
Balance thoughtful design exploration with rapid iteration to get features in users’ hands quickly
-
Support user research efforts and help synthesize feedback into actionable improvements
What you bring:
A degree or background in architecture, industrial design, engineering, computer science, or a similarly technical field
Experience using CAD, 3D modeling tools, or other precision design software
Strong systems thinking — you naturally think about how parts connect and how decisions ripple across a product
Comfort working in Figma and building structured, reusable components
Interest in or exposure to 3D interfaces, spatial thinking, or data-heavy tools
Clear communication skills and eagerness to collaborate closely with engineers
-
Excitement about working in an early-stage startup where priorities shift and learning happens fast
Bonus experience:
Exposure to interaction design for tools, editors, or developer workflows
Familiarity with frontend concepts (React, component architecture, interaction states)
Personal or academic projects involving 3D visualization, CAD workflows, or spatial interfaces
Participation in usability testing or hands-on user observation
