Senior Product Designer (UI/UX & AI Systems)

Team: Operations and Supply Chain

Location: Cupertino

Weekly Hours: 40

Posted: 2026-08-01

Summary: We are looking for an exceptional Senior Product Designer to craft intuitive, high-impact, and elegant tools that power the development, manufacturing, and environmental stewardship of Apple products. Joining our Cupertino-based Product & Design team, you will touch critical enterprise platforms, from complex environmental systems modeling carbon and materials, to manufacturing design systems shared with global vendor partners, to brand-new intelligent tools built alongside sister AI teams. If you thrive on untangling dense, high-stakes data pipelines, discovering the unsaid needs of expert users, and reimagining how people work alongside AI, this is your place.

Description: As a Senior Product Designer on this team, you won't just design screens, you will define mental models and workflows that turn massive, complex operational datasets into clear, actionable interfaces. You have an instinct for investigative user research, looking past initial feature requests to uncover the deeper latent problems users face. You understand both sides of modern AI: how to design human-centered AI product experiences* (dealing with nondeterminism, trust, agentic workflows, and explainability) and how to design with AI to accelerate prototyping, test concepts, and move from discovery to shipped software with velocity. You are comfortable bridging the gap to engineering—whether that means whiteboarding interaction logic, reviewing front-end components, or opening a PR yourself. Minimum Qualifications8–10+ years of product design (UI/UX) experience shipping complex, data-dense software tools, web platforms, and operational systems. Proven track record designing data-intensive workflows (analytics platforms, scientific/modeling tools, enterprise workflow engines, or developer platforms) with demonstrable user and business impact. Demonstrated experience designing for AI/ML-driven features and systems—navigating probability, confidence scores, recommendations, and conversational or agentic interfaces. Hands-on experience integrating AI into your own design workflow to accelerate user research synthesis, rapid prototyping, and production-ready handoffs. Fluency with front-end architectures and component libraries; track record of collaborating deeply with engineering teams, including familiarity with Git workflows and opening/reviewing pull requests (PRs).Mastery of modern design and prototyping tools; rapidly test ideas using AI assisted tooling

Preferred Qualifications: Transformational Design: Experience leading the migration or modernization of legacy, pre-AI software suites into next-generation intelligent platforms. System-Level Thinking: Experience building, scaling, and documenting design systems used across multi-team or external vendor ecosystems. Scientific or Operational Domain Curiosity: Prior exposure to supply chain, manufacturing, or environmental/sustainability modeling (carbon accounting, LCA, materials science) is a plus—but an eagerness to dive deep into these technical domains is essential. Creative & Analytical Versatility (The Unicorn Bonus):Able to explore raw datasets and validate user pain points yourself; and/orPossess world-class brand/visual craft capable of designing a sharp, memorable tool icon or team identity mark.
