About the role
What the role actually is Amazon Robotics is hiring a principal UX designer for advanced industrial robotics systems. The work centers on control interfaces, monitoring dashboards, operational workflows, prototypes, and design systems for people working around automation at scale. The listing is explicitly about bridging advanced robotics with human needs. That means the designer is working across software, physical context, safety, and the operational realities of manufacturing or fulfillment environments. What you would work on Set the UX vision for first-to-market industrial robotics products Design control, monitoring, and operational interfaces for complex automation Create user flows and interaction patterns that make advanced systems easier to operate Partner with research, engineering, operations, and safety teams on prototypes and shipped workflows What they are asking for Principal-level UX or interaction design experience with complex systems Experience prototyping in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or similar tools Strong portfolio showing production design for technical or industrial environments Familiarity with human factors, ergonomics, safety-critical systems, data visualization, or manufacturing workflows Why this one is worth a look Amazon's robotics org has the scale to turn small design decisions into everyday work patterns for thousands of operators and technicians. The interesting part is not just making a dashboard cleaner; it is designing interfaces that can hold up when the robot, the facility, and the human process all change at once.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
