ONHUMAN is an AI robotics company developing autonomous general-purpose humanoid robots. Our goal is to build embodied AI systems that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world. ONHUMAN is headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and this role requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration.

Team & Role Overview

Our Design & HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) team is responsible for defining how humans and autonomous humanoid robots safely, intuitively, and seamlessly coexist. We are looking for a Product Designer to design and advance the interface ecosystems, physical interaction patterns, and digital control frameworks that power humanoid autonomy.

This role focuses on developing new design approaches across hardware-software touchpoints—spanning operator dashboards, teleoperation interfaces, on-robot display behaviors, and ambient status systems that directly impact how robot intelligence is perceived and controlled in the real world.

Responsibilities

• Interaction Architecture: Design and develop interaction patterns for humanoid robot behaviors, focusing on intent communication, state awareness, and user safety.

• Operator Interface Design: Build high-performance interfaces, web/tablet dashboards, and teleoperation control views that allow human operators to monitor, guide, and troubleshoot robot fleets.

• Multimodal Experience Systems: Advance multimodal interface approaches, including lighting patterns (LED behaviors), sound design/audio cues, and chest/face display layouts to ensure predictable human-robot proximity dynamics.

• UX/UI Capability & Robustness: Improve interface capabilities in complex areas such as edge-case handling, remote diagnostic flows, and long-horizon mission configuration tools.

• End-to-End Design Lifecycle: Work across the entire product design lifecycle, from initial user research, wireframing, and rapid interactive prototyping to production-intent asset delivery.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with pretraining, RL, hardware engineering, and robot learning teams to integrate intuitive feedback systems directly into the full autonomy stack.

• Usability Testing & Rigor: Design field testing experiments, user research frameworks, and behavioral evaluation systems to observe real-world robot interaction and guide iterative design.

• Design Paradigm Development: Contribute to the creation of entirely new design systems and interface paradigms specifically tailored for physical, embodied AI products.

Requirements

• Advanced Product Design Experience: Experience designing and shipping complex UX/UI solutions, software-enabled systems, or deep-tech product ecosystems.

• Modern Design System Understanding: Strong understanding of modern design systems, user flows, typography, and clean, high-end visual layout principles.

• Performance through Innovation: Experience improving user task accuracy and system efficiency through clean informational hierarchy, user feedback loops, and interactive experimentation.

• Proficiency in Design Frameworks: High proficiency in industry-standard tools (e.g., Figma, ProtoPie, Adobe Creative Suite) and a strong portfolio demonstrating systems-level thinking.

• Experimental Rigor: Strong design and research rigor, an exceptional eye for detail, and the ability to iterate rapidly based on user data and technical engineering constraints.

• Systems Engineering Mindset: Solid documentation and organization skills with the ability to build maintainable, scalable asset libraries and handoff specs for front-end developers.

• Autonomy & Ambiguity: Ability to operate independently and design clean, minimalist solutions for highly ambiguous, first-of-their-kind technical problems.

Bonus Qualifications

• Robotics or Hardware Background: Experience with Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), industrial automation environments, aerospace interfaces, or physical consumer electronics.

• 3D or Immersive Design Experience: Familiarity with 3D modeling/visualization tools (e.g., Blender, Spline, Rhino) or spatial/AR/VR design frameworks for evaluating scale and motion.

• Frontier Technical Literacy: Basic understanding of machine learning loops, web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS), or Android/embedded system constraints.

• Complex Data Dashboards: Background designing high-density data visualizations, live telemetry streaming views, or mission-critical command centers.

• Frontier Ecosystem Familiarity: Experience working on cutting-edge technical products within fast-scaling startups or elite R&D environments.
