AI-generated questions, company research, and talking points tailored to this role


Responsibilities

  • This role is especially important during our upcoming beta: The app will be how families set up, understand and command their robot. You will define how people interact with robots in a world where robots are everywhere.
  • Design the Memo companion app experience: Define the interaction for how users prepare their homes and use Memo on a daily basis.
  • Prototype interaction concepts quickly: Build high-fidelity prototypes and interactive demos.
  • Develop production features: Implement core parts of the companion app so prototypes can evolve directly into real product experiences.
  • Collaborate across disciplines: Partner closely with product, software, hardware and operations to identify requirements and integrate them elegantly into the user experience.

Requirements

  • A strong eye for aesthetics and flexibility to expand beyond the established design language
  • Ability to prototype ideas quickly and translate them into working software
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineers and cross-functional teams
  • Comfort working in early-stage product environments where requirements evolve quickly
  • A bias toward building and testing ideas
  • Experience designing interfaces for physical devices or hardware products
  • Experience working on early-stage products (0→1 development)
  • Experience working with voice interactions and other human-robot interactions
  • Strong interest in robotics or smart home products and systems
  • Strong prototyping skills using tools such as React Native or similar frameworks
  • What You're Not
  • A designer who prefers static mockups over interactive prototypes
  • Looking for a role where requirements are fully defined before work begins
  • Most effective when working in narrow design scopes rather than shaping the full product experience
  • Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria - we don't want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
