UX DESIGNER

We're looking for a Design Engineer who understands the world of CAD and engineering software, someone who can translate complex mechanical engineering workflows into intuitive, powerful interfaces that feel native to the engineers who use them.This is not about disrupting how engineers work, it's about amplifying them. You'll design desktop applications and web platforms that mechanical engineers recognize and trust, drawing inspiration from tools like SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion, CATIA, and ANSYS. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO, collaborating daily with mechanical engineers to craft experiences that feel intuitive from day one.You'll own the end-to-end design experience: from user research and interaction design to visual design and branding. You'll help define and evolve Hanomi's design language where CAD wireframes meet abstract art, technical precision meets creative possibility, and every element asks:Does this show mastery? Does this inspire innovation? Does an engineer see themselves here?ResponsibilitiesProduct Design• Design and iterate on our desktop application and web platform, creating interfaces thatmechanical engineers find intuitive and powerful• Study and internalize the UX patterns of established CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360,CATIA, NX, ANSYS) to create familiar, frictionless workflows• Own the complete design process from user research and wireframing through high-fidelityprototypes and production-ready specifications• Conduct user research with mechanical engineers to deeply understand their workflows,pain points, and mental models• Create interaction patterns for complex CAD operations: file handling, assembly navigation,tolerance specification, drawing generation, and manufacturing context inputBrand & Visual Design• Evolve and maintain Hanomi's visual identity across all touchpoints product, marketing,sales materials, and documentation• Translate our design language (orange-driven, CAD wireframes meeting abstract art,technical precision meeting creative possibility) into cohesive visual experiences• Create visual assets that resonate with engineering audiences where every elementcommunicates mastery and inspires innovationCollaboration• Work directly with the CEO and CTO on product vision and strategy• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers on the team to ensure designs respect andenhance engineering workflows• Partner with engineering to ensure designs are implemented with fidelity and technicalfeasibility• Contribute to defining product requirements and prioritization based on user insightRequirementsExperience• 4–6 years of experience in product design, UX design, or design engineering• Previous work at CAD, PLM, simulation, or engineering software companies (e.g., Autodesk,Dassault Systèmes, Siemens, PTC, ANSYS, Altair, or similar)• Proven experience designing desktop applications understanding the unique patterns andconstraints of native app design vs. web• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of design projects, from researchthrough shipped productSkills• Deep understanding of engineering workflows and the mental models of mechanicalengineers, manufacturing engineers, or designers• Mastery of design tools: Figma for UI/UX design; familiarity with prototyping tools• Experience with design systems building and maintaining component libraries that scale• Strong visual design skills with attention to typography, color, spacing, and hierarchy• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholdersMindset• Comfort operating in an early-stage environment with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities• Genuine curiosity about manufacturing, engineering, and how physical products aredesigned and made• Willing to relocate to Bangalore and work in-person with the teamPreferred (Bonus)• Front-end development skills (React, TypeScript, Electron, or similar)—ability to prototype orimplement your own designs• Experience with 3D visualization, WebGL, or rendering technologies• Background in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or related technical field• Experience designing for GD&T, tolerancing, or technical drawing workflows• Prior startup experience or founding experience
