• Own end‑to‑end UX strategy and execution for assigned product lines - starting with the Fenceline Solution.
• Design operational workflows that align with real-world industrial processes and decision timelines.
• Designing for decisions, not interactions (e.g., "What action does this enable?").
• Designing time‑series, event‑driven, and analytical interfaces (filters, thresholds, confidence, traceability)
• Translate functionality and workflows such as emissions event detection, back trajectory and root-cause analysis, and alerts into intuitive, actionable interfaces.
• Ensure seamless experiences across various modalities, e.g., desktop, mobile.
• Partner with Product Owner and Technical Solution Lead to ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and release-ready.
• Incorporate direct input from strategy and market-facing teams into UX direction.

• Strong portfolio, demonstrating workflow design and system-level thinking.
• Motivation to challenge and modernize legacy industrial interfaces.
• Strong understanding of Agile development and cross-functional delivery.
• Familiarity with oil & gas, refining, or chemical industry workflows strongly preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder coordination skills.
• # EMPLOYEES SUPERVISED: None

Additional Information

TITLE: UI/UX Lead - Oil, Gas, & Chemicals TITLE OF SUPERVISOR: Product Owner, Oil, Gas & Chemicals LOCATION: Remote or In-Office (Santa Clara, CA) WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: You are an outside‑the‑box thinker who is energized by developing and deploying the next-generation UX for continuous emissions monitoring, compliance, and prevention at an industrial scale. You help bring emissions digitalization to life in an intuitive way, which makes operational reality intuitive, whilst ensuring measurement and plant representations are trustworthy, usable, and decision‑ready. You will carry end‑to‑end UX accountability across the solution: workflow definition, interaction models, user validation, and release‑ready design. You are the connective tissue between how customers work, how product intent is expressed, and how the Picarro engineering team implements systems at scale. When UX assumptions meet operational reality, you resolve them. When a real‑world workflow exposes ambiguity, friction, or risk, you define what clarity looks like-and drive it into the product. This role demands systems thinking, not screen decoration. You design workflows, not pages. You translate complex data, analytics, and uncertainty into interfaces that support decisions under pressure. You embed accessibility, explainability, and trust by default, recognizing that in regulated, high‑consequence environments, UX quality is operational quality. You operate fluently across software, data, and cloud‑based systems, understanding how UX choices reflect data models, rules engines, and integrations beneath the surface. You are deeply invested in developing a contextual understanding of business and operations, and you naturally go beyond visual or functional requirements to protect coherence, usability, and scale. You are also keenly interested in accelerating productivity and quality by using AI tooling - this is a natural intuition for you, and it energizes you. You're joining Picarro at a defining moment. We are taking a production‑ready set of workflows, interaction patterns, and design systems to market right now-foundations that will shape emissions operations for the next decade. The person in this role won't just grow with that journey; they will be critical in refining, scaling, and shaping how customers experience it.
