Senior Designer

01Join SE3 Labs as Senior Designer

You'll be our first designer, and you'll own every kind of design at SE3 except hardware. That means how the company looks, how it talks to the world, and how it feels to use our software. There's a foundation to start from, but it's your job to take it to the next level and build a system that helps execute with the highest quality and speed. Execution should be at the heart of all you do.

02About SE3

SE3 Labs builds spatial intelligence and autonomy software for unmanned systems. We combine 3D computer vision, state estimation and AI to help autonomous platforms perceive their surroundings, know where they are and operate when GPS and other sensors become unreliable. Defence is a core application of our work today.

We are growing to a team of 100+ people. Join at a stage where you can shape our Brand & Communications team, help build the team and grow your responsibilities as the company expands.

Our founding team’s research has received more than 90,000 citations. You will work closely with technical founders and engineers with deep experience in computer vision and autonomous systems, turning that research depth into systems that work in the field.

03What you will own

• Brand and identity

• Communication and marketing

• Website and social

• Product (UI/UX)

• Print & Tradeshow collateral

   

04Your Profile

• 6+ years of design experience across both brand and product. You don't have to be equally strong at everything, but you should be excellent at one and very good at the other, and your portfolio should show both.

• Real craft. Your typography, layout and detail are sharp. You can make something look polished, and you also know when it should look like an engineering document.

• Systems thinking. You build design systems and component libraries that last, and you can explain the decisions behind them.

• Product UX depth. You've designed complex, data-dense software where clarity matters a great deal. Experience with mission-critical, industrial, aerospace, automotive or developer tools is a strong plus.

• Range in production. You're comfortable with print, environmental/large-format work and motion, and you know how to brief and direct photographers, filmmakers, 3D artists and fabricators.

• Founder mindset. You set your own priorities, move fast, ship rough work when that's what's needed, and polish what matters. You're happy without process and will build just enough of it.

• Clear communicator. You present and defend your work to founders, engineers and customers.

• Fluent in Figma and, most importantly, at the frontier of leveraging AI for design work.
