The problems we address on a daily basis provide a unique and rewarding mix of technical and user interaction challenges – from innovative automation solutions, to complex software deployment workflows, to the physical interactions with our robots and the software that drives them.

As Senior UI/UX Designer at Bright Machines, you will help define these experiences, interfaces, and design systems driving our software-defined manufacturing solutions.
