About the position

As a Product Designer specializing in Mixed Reality (XR, AR, VR), you will be instrumental in crafting innovative user-centric experiences for products within a leading consumer technology company. This role requires collaboration with cross-functional teams, including designers, product managers, and engineers, to define and deliver a compelling product vision for XR experiences. Your primary focus will be on designing intuitive and immersive user interfaces and interactions that are specifically tailored for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) environments. In this position, you will create wireframes, prototypes, and detailed visual designs that effectively communicate design ideas and user flows. Working closely with developers, you will ensure that the design vision is executed faithfully and efficiently. Additionally, you will contribute to the development of design systems and best practices that support scalability and consistency across XR products. This role is pivotal in bringing Windows through Mixed Reality, and you will be involved in key projects that contribute to the launch of major products in the mixed reality space. Your typical day will involve a mix of meetings, alignment sessions, and focused work time, where you will utilize tools like Figma and Unity to execute your design tasks. The role requires a balance of collaboration and independent work, with a significant portion of your time dedicated to hands-on design work and project deadlines.
