About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end product design process for Beacon AI's pilot assistant, from discovery and user research through wireframes, prototypes, and final specs handed off to engineering.
  • Conduct research and usability testing with pilots and aviation professionals to deeply understand workflows, mental models, and safety critical needs.
  • Translate complex AI-driven data and alerts into interfaces that are instantly clear and actionable in high-pressure cockpit environments.
  • Build and maintain a scalable design system that ensures consistency and speed across the product.
  • Partner closely with engineering and strong product sense to ship polished, well-considered experiences iteratively.
  • Contribute to brand and visual identity as a secondary responsibility, supporting marketing and web presence as needed.

Requirements

  • Experience as a sole or founding designer, leading design end to end, moving quickly from concept to execution, and driving products from 0 to 1 without the structure of a large design team.
  • Strong product design instincts and can move fluidly from research and strategy to high-fidelity execution.
  • Fluent in Figma and comfortable owning a design system end to end.
  • Ask "why" before you ask "what does it look like" and push back when a brief is not solving the right problem.
  • Energized by complexity and ambiguity, not intimidated by it.
  • Genuine curiosity about aviation, aerospace, or safety critical industries.

Nice-to-Haves

  • 3+ years of experience in product design, ideally with complex, data-heavy or safety-critical products such as aviation, aerospace, defense, medical devices, or enterprise software.
  • Proficiency in Figma or similar modern design tools with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design work.
  • Experience designing for AI-powered products and understanding how to make machine-generated insights feel trustworthy and intuitive to end users.
  • Familiarity with motion design, micro-interactions, or basic HTML and CSS is a plus.
