Product Designer (Visual)
Tulip, the Frontline Operations Platform, is empowering the world’s leading manufacturers to improve the productivity of their teams, the quality of their output, and the efficiency of their operations. With Tulip’s no-code platform, manufacturers can empower those closest to operations to digitally transform their facilities and gain real-time visibility into the people, machines and processes involved in production--all in a matter of days.
Manufacturers of all sizes, across industries including consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, contract manufacturing, automotive, apparel, medical devices and more, have implemented Tulip’s intuitive platform to solve some of the most pressing challenges in manufacturing: error-proofing processes with guided workflows, integrating industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies with legacy factory machines, and capturing and analyzing real-time production floor data.
A spinoff out of MIT, the company is headquartered in Somerville, MA, with offices in the UK, Germany and Hungary. It has been recognized as a MES Challenger on the Gartner Magic Quadrant, Frost and Sullivan Entrepreneurial Company of the year and a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer.

About You:
- You’re detail-oriented, paying attention to the tiniest details of all your designs.
- You design for scale, building components that can expand as product usage grows and mentoring those around you to make good design choices.
- You push what can be built, understanding emerging web UI patterns and implementation technologies. Ideally, you’re willing to dive in and make code changes yourself where necessary.
- You welcome feedback, actively seeking a critique from stakeholders, and using data to back up your design decisions.
- You value impact over output, measuring success not by how many concepts are in Figma, but the quality of what ships to the customer.
