What the job involves
- First Resonance is looking for a UX Designer to join our Los Angeles based team
- You will directly impact our customer experience strategies while partnering creatively and strategically with a cross-functional team
- Your innovative user experience flows will empower engineers and technicians to more efficiently build the future of hardware
- The most important characteristic of our product team is their interest and eagerness to support companies that are tackling some of society’s greatest challenges such as climate change, space exploration, and autonomous transportation
- With this role, you will join a diverse team with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences
- We pride ourselves on being fast learners, quick-thinkers, and agile executors
- While a spur-of-the-moment ping pong tournament is occasionally required, our number one priority is always assisting our ION customers with our manufacturing platform
- Bring a rich user experience to people building physical products in complex workflows; Give rocket scientists superpowers!
- Visualize complex factories with insight-driven workflows with unique interfaces to help people do their jobs better with geospatial interfaces
- Collaborate cross-functionally with some of the smartest (and nicest) people in the industry. Day-to-day you'll work closely with Front-End Engineers, Product Managers, Customer Success, and Marketing experts to champion the user experience in our application and ship high-quality work
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve our existing product. Contribute to the overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
- Use data as a starting point for trying out new initiatives. Conduct user research to get feedback on your work, use data and testing to improve your design
- Research, create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals
- Tackle interesting, complex problems. Working closely with your engineering and product partners, you'll have a large amount of ownership and autonomy across the entire design process; rather than just design individual features, you'll have the opportunity to define the end-to-end experience
Our take
First Resonance was co-founded by a former SpaceX engineer to offer manufacturers end-to-end software to create any modern hardware, from electric or aerial vehicles to satellites or robotics.
Since founding in 2018, the company has amassed a growing list of extremely impressive customers including satellite manufacturer Astranis, aircraft automation startup Reliable Robotics, and the NYSE-listed Joby Aviation, which intends to operate an air taxi service with its fleet of electric aircraft.
The complexity of the operations that First Resonance’s customers are undertaking speaks to the value of the startup’s OS, especially when it comes to things like part traceability, collaboration, supply chain, and data analytics. The company has secured significant investment, as well as generating impressive interest from the industry, which all suggests it will continue to grow as time goes on.
