product designer

Makes things manufacturable

A product designer creates and develops the form, function, and user experience of manufactured goods or digital applications.

The term spans industrial design (physical objects like furniture, appliances, electronics) and software design (apps, websites, interfaces).

In tech companies, product designers typically focus on how users interact with digital products—combining visual design, user research, and prototyping: We're hiring a product designer to lead the mobile app redesign.
