- •At Beacon AI, you will shape how pilots interact with AI in the cockpit, designing experiences where clarity, speed, and precision are not just good design principles, they are safety critical.
- •This is a rare opportunity to define a product from the ground up in one of tech's most consequential domains.", "key_responsibilities": ["Own the end-to-end product design process for Beacon AI's pilot assistant, from discovery and user research through wireframes, prototypes, and final specs handed off to engineering", "Conduct research and usability testing with pilots and aviation professionals to deeply understand workflows, mental models, and safety critical needs", "Translate complex AI-driven data and alerts into interfaces that are instantly clear and actionable in high-pressure cockpit environments", "Build and maintain a scalable design system that ensures consistency and speed across the product", "Partner closely with engineering and strong product sense to ship polished, well-considered experiences iteratively"], "requirements": ["Experience as a sole or founding designer, leading design end to end, moving quickly from concept to execution, and driving products from 0 to 1 without the structure of a large design team", "Strong product design instincts and can move fluidly from research and strategy to high-fidelity execution", "Fluent in Figma and comfortable owning a design system end to end", "Asks \"why\" before \"what does it look like\" and pushes back when a brief is not solving the right problem", "Energized by complexity and ambiguity, not intimidated by it", "Genuine curiosity about aviation, aerospace, or safety critical industries"]}
