Re-architecting Engineering for the Age of Intelligence
PhysicsX is the physics AI company for industrials. The company’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation by overhauling what industrial engineering and manufacturing look like today. PhysicsX is building a new simulation software stack to deliver deep physics AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. The company partners with leading organisations in aerospace & defence, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore and an expanding presence in the Bay Area.We’re seeking an exceptional Senior Product Designer, Field Engineering to join our growing US team, based in New York. This role offers the opportunity to work on advanced AI and engineering solutions for enterprise clients, shaping tools that connect deep technical capability with clear, human-centred design.
As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll work closely with customers across industries, travelling regularly to their sites to lead discovery sessions, support our Field Engineering teams, and ensure excellence from concept through to implementation. You’ll collaborate with Field Engineering Leads, Engineers, and Product Managers to simplify complex systems and bring clarity to every stage of delivery.
This role requires US citizenship and the ability to travel frequently within the United States and occasionally to the United Kingdom.
Key Responsibilities
Lead customer delivery engagements: Partner directly with enterprise clients to translate business and technical needs into actionable design solutions that deliver measurable value.
Conduct discovery and research: Plan and lead workshops, interviews, and contextual research to deeply understand user workflows and align stakeholders around shared goals.
Design for delivery: Create pragmatic artefacts such as wireframes, prototypes, and specifications that accelerate implementation and maintain clarity through technical delivery.
Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with Field Engineering Leads, Data Scientists, and Simulation Engineers to ensure designs balance innovation with feasibility.
Support business development: Contribute to proposals, early-stage discovery, and pre-sales activities, helping identify opportunities where design can create commercial advantage.
Develop scalable systems: Build and maintain design systems and component libraries that enable consistency and efficiency across complex enterprise solutions.
