Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.\nAt Watney, product designers shape how people interact with our robots and the systems behind them. The work spans the controls a pilot uses to operate a robot, the tools an engineer uses to explore data, and the applications a team uses to coordinate work across a fleet.\nYou’ll work closely with engineers and operators to understand complex workflows and make them intuitive. That means thinking deeply about what people need to see, understand, and control, and then carrying those decisions through to the details of an interface. Your work will cross software and physical interactions, from teleoperation controls to scheduling and task management.\nWhat You’ll Do\nWork with teleoperators, field operators, and engineers to understand where their tools fall short and rethink how they could work.\n\nDesign interfaces for teleoperation, data exploration, annotation, and fleet coordination, supporting a deployed fleet scaling to thousands of robots next year.\n\nBuild and test prototypes with the people using these tools, from data annotators and robotics researchers to fleet managers.\n\nWork with engineers to ship designs and refine them as they’re used in the field.\n\nYou May Be a Good Fit If You:\nHave designed tools that make complex systems easier to understand and work with. Developer tools, CAD, creative software, and hardware interfaces are examples of relevant experience.\n\nGet curious about unfamiliar technical domains and learn enough to question how things should work.\n\nThink carefully about interaction, information hierarchy, and feedback, and bring craft to the details.\n\nEnjoy working closely with engineers and designing for technical users. The ability to build your own prototypes in code is a bonus, not a requirement.\n\nWe’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. At Watney Robotics, we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential. If you’re passionate about robotics but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply!\nCurious to learn more?\nFollow us here onX andLinkedIn","description_format":"text","description_chars":2412,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Robotics","Construction Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T23:00:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":108,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/watney-senior-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/watney-senior-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T14:37:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2186,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3812884},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3812884"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/watney-senior-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-product-designer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3489615}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"watney.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3489615},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
