ikeGPS was founded in Wellington, New Zealand, where the technology behind our platform was first developed. Today, we're publicly listed on both the New Zealand Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:NZX: IKE), with our global headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado. Our team spans the United States and New Zealand, united by a shared mission to transform how the world's critical infrastructure is measured and managed.

We build the operating system for overhead power and communications networks across North America. Our solutions help utilities, engineering firms, and communications companies assess, analyze, and manage critical infrastructure  work is technically complex, the stakes are real, and the impact is tangible.

We are seeking to hire a Product Designer who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and design excellence. This is not a role for someone who creates beautiful screens in isolation. It is for someone who wants to shape how thousands of utility professionals interact with AI-powered infrastructure data every day, and who understands that making complex things simple is one of the hardest and most rewarding problems in design.

You will contribute to design patterns and principles that scale across our expanding product portfolio, execute rapid prototyping, iterate designs, and gather customer feedback in partnership with product and engineering colleagues. Over time your design system may extend across the full ikeGPS portfolio including established desktop applications.

We operate AI-first. That means you will use AI-powered design tools not as a novelty but as a core part of how you work, and you will incorporate AI-powered design tools into your day-to-day workflow and contribute ideas that help set the standard for what that looks like across the product team.

Design user experiences for new cloud-native applications serving utilities, communications companies, and engineering firms. Your work will help users leverage complex capabilities, including physics-based simulations, computer vision outputs, AI-powered insights, and predictive analytics, through interfaces that feel natural and efficient. As the product portfolio expands your scope will grow to include analytics dashboards, data acquisition workflows, and administrative interfaces.

Design intuitive, map-based interfaces for infrastructure visualization, 3D viewing experiences for utility poles and overhead assets, and data visualization dashboards that surface actionable insights from massive geospatial datasets. You will help define and refine interaction patterns for multi-source imagery including drone, vehicle-based, mobile, and satellite data, and ensure every design accounts for the unique challenges of spatial data and 3D navigation.

Build and maintain a comprehensive Figma-anchored design system with reusable component libraries. Create engineering-ready specifications that minimize design-to-development friction. Leverage AI-assisted tools including Figma AI, LLM-powered ideation, and generative design to accelerate iteration without sacrificing quality. Partner with front-end engineering to ensure feasible, performant implementation and collaborate with the ikeGPS Brand team to maintain consistency from first marketing interaction through daily product use.

Create low, mid, and high-fidelity prototypes appropriate to the development stage. Design interactive prototypes for customer validation and stakeholder alignment. Conduct usability testing, synthesize feedback into actionable improvements, and iterate quickly based on customer research, technical constraints, and business requirements. Generate reusable design assets and prototypes that support future product development.

Use LLMs including Claude for design research synthesis,…
