Product Designer

Paperless Parts is the #1 quoting & estimating software purpose-built for the manufacturing industry. We are on a mission to transform the manufacturing industry, one interaction at a time. We celebrate each other's victories in and outside of work, respect each other as individuals and professionals, and value ideas over hierarchy. Paperless Parts promotes a culture of continuous learning, by always seeking ways to better ourselves, our team, and our customers.

As a Product Designer, you will play a key role in the evolution of Paperless Parts, helping us build innovative new products as we aspire to build the best technology platform in manufacturing. You can think in systems, prototype in real code, and partner deeply with engineering, product, and marketing to translate ambiguous customer problems into intuitive, production-ready solutions.

What You'll Do

• Lead design execution across key areas of the product by triangulating customer workflows, technical capabilities, and product strategy into intuitive, production-ready experiences.
• Prototype at multiple levels, from high-fidelity mockups to real front-end implementations that enable validation with customers and inform engineering direction.
• Strengthen collaboration between Design and Engineering by acting as a partner who improves speed, quality, and shared understanding throughout the build process.
• Design with intention for AI and data-driven features: partner with Product and Engineering to evolve how automation, intelligence, and insights appear within the product, balancing power, clarity, and trust.
• Participate in user discovery along with Product to learn directly from job shops, manufacturers, and buyers to ensure both new and existing solutions solve real workflow challenges.
• Collaborate and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams to deliver high quality work, ensuring customers are successful in solving problems around the delivered features.
• Partner with Marketing on content marketing design: create graphics, illustrations, and visual assets for blog posts, website, case studies, tradeshow events, email campaigns, and social content.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years' experience in Product Design, Design Engineering, or Design Technology roles
• A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped work, systems thinking, and technical depth
• Curious, driven problem-solver
• Strong communication and facilitation skills
• Comfort working in or alongside modern front-end frameworks (React, design systems, prototyping in code, etc.)

• Proven experience in one or more of the following:

• Understanding of modern application architectures

• B2B or B2C SaaS with a metrics-driven methodology

• Design systems and component libraries

• Content, brand, or event/tradeshow design

• Experience designing user-facing AI or data-driven workflows (LLMs, automation, or intelligent assistance) is a plus; deep ML expertise is not required

• Experience designing for marketing surfaces (web, brand, and campaign design) preferred but not required

• Manufacturing industry experience preferred but not required
