Job Description

Vention is looking for a Senior Product Designer (UI/UX) to craft exceptional digital experiences across our platform – from 3D machine design to automation and real‑time operation. You’ll help define how users interact with a connected ecosystem of web and tablet applications used by thousands of manufacturers worldwide.

You’ll work within a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, and product managers to shape intuitive, elegant, and high‑performing interfaces. This role combines deep user‑experience thinking with a strong sense of visual craft and systems design.

We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about interaction design, typography, motion, and clarity — a designer who can turn complex workflows into simple, cohesive, and beautiful products.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design for core flows in our 3D MachineBuilder, shaping how users design and assemble automation equipment.
• Simplify complex technical workflows into clear, intuitive interfaces.
• Partner with product and engineering to define problems, run research, and validate solutions.
• Deliver user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI in Figma.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure speed, quality, and consistency across the platform.
• Participate in user research, usability tests, and data‑driven design decisions.
• Present and explain your work clearly in design reviews, with rationale rooted in user needs and business impact.

Qualifications

• 4–7 years of product design experience, with at least part of it focused on software products beyond websites.
• Portfolio that demonstrates strong UX problem‑solving, interaction design, and UI craft.
• Experience designing complex tools or applications (ideally 3D, CAD, engineering, or assembly environments).
• Strong ability to structure, simplify, and communicate complex systems.
• Proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools.
• Comfort working in a fast‑moving, execution‑driven environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3D/CAD tools (SolidWorks, Onshape, Rhino, Unity, Unreal, etc.).
• Knowledge of manufacturing, automation, or technical workflows.
• Familiarity with design‑to‑code workflows and developer handoff practices.

How We Take Care of You

• Flexible paid time off.
• Global comprehensive health plans so you feel your best.
• Complimentary beverages and snacks so you are fueled and ready for your day.
• Career growth opportunities. Your future matters.
• Fun‑filled social events curated based on diverse interests for our team to celebrate together. From sponsored sports teams to trivia nights.
• Time off to volunteer and give back to your community.
