联合产品设计师
Founding Product Designer
**TL;DR:** 如果你：
- 曾设计过让复杂技术工作变得简单、快速且几乎显而易见的产品；
- 想要为能够真正完成工程工作的AI代理发明交互模型，而不是回答问题的聊天机器人；
- 能够同样自如地与机械工程师交流、观察用户遇到的困难，并将模糊的需求转化为优美的产品界面；
- 想成为一家快速发展的A轮公司中第一位产品设计师，致力于构建工程类ASI…
… 那么你应该申请这个职位！
**关于P-1 AI：**
在P-1 AI，我们正在打造一个名为Archie的用于现实世界的AI工程师代理。我们最大化Archie的人性化程度，使其以人类工程师的形式无缝融入现有的工程团队和工作流程。目前，Archie相当于一名初级机械和电气工程师，具备对产品设计空间的量化直觉，并能使用复杂的工程工具——这些工具与他的同事所使用的完全相同。Archie的技术栈包括定制的代理框架、结构化的设计表示、持续技能学习，以及使用专有的半合成训练数据集和环境进行微调的小型自定义模型（SFT和RLVR），这创造了深厚的竞争壁垒。我们的最终目标是构建工程类ASI。我们最近宣布获得由NEA领投的5000万美元A轮融资，同时前通用电气CEO Jeff Immelt加入我们的董事会。本轮融资还引入了来自Anthropic和Nominal的多位AI专家，作为我们现有天使投资人（来自Google和OpenAI）的一部分。
**关于这个机会：**
这是一个难得的机会，去定义一个全新品类的产品体验：真正参与工程工作的AI代理。Archie需要理解目标、提出聪明的澄清问题、使用工程工具、展示他的工作成果、与人类协作，并在高风险的工业工作流中赢得信任。
作为我们的创始产品设计师，你将把这种能力转化为一种易于理解、强大且不可避免的产品。你将直接与CEO、AI工程师、产品工程师和设计合作伙伴一起，塑造P-1 AI的核心交互模式、产品架构和视觉语言。我们的设计原则包括：功能主义、信息密度、明确性、反极简主义、冗长胜于晦涩，以及一种永恒、不时尚的审美风格。
**关于这个职位：**

**TL;DR:** If you:
- have designed products that made complex technical work feel simple, fast, and almost obvious;
- want to invent the interaction model for AI agents that do real engineering work, not chatbots that answer questions;
- are equally comfortable talking to mechanical engineers, watching users struggle, and turning ambiguity into beautiful product surfaces;
- want to be the first product designer at a fast-moving Series A company building toward engineering ASI…
… you should apply for this role!
**About P-1 AI:**
At P-1 AI, we are building an AI engineer agent for the physical world named Archie. We maximize Archie’s anthropomorphism so that he fits seamlessly into existing engineering teams and workflows in the form factor of a human engineer. Archie today is at the level of a junior mechanical and electrical engineer, with a quantitative intuition over the product design space and the ability to use complex engineering tools—the same tools his human teammates use. Archie's tech stack includes a custom agentic harness, structured design representation, continual skills learning, and small custom post-trained models (SFT and RLVR) using proprietary semi-synthetic training data sets and environments which create a deep competitive moat. Our ultimate aim is to build engineering ASI. We recently announced a $50 million Series A financing led by NEA, which added former General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt to our board. The round also included the addition of several AI luminaries from Anthropic and Nominal to our existing angel investors from Google and OpenAI.
**About the opportunity:**
This is a rare chance to define the product experience for a new category: AI agents that participate in real engineering work. Archie needs to understand goals, ask smart clarifying questions, use engineering tools, show his work, collaborate with humans, and earn trust inside high-stakes industrial workflows.
As our founding product designer, you will turn that capability into a product that feels legible, powerful, and inevitable. You will work directly with the CEO, AI engineers, product engineers, and design partners to shape the core interaction patterns, product architecture, and visual language of P-1 AI. Our design principles include: functionalism, density, explicitness, anti-minimalism, verbosity over opacity, and a timeless, unfashionable aesthetic.
**About the role:**
- Design the core user experience for Archie, including how engineers assign work, review results, inspect reasoning, compare alternatives, and share work back and forth with an AI teammate.
- Turn messy design-partner conversations into product flows, wireframes, prototypes, and crisp product decisions.
- Sit with users as they try Archie on real engineering tasks, watch where they get confused or skeptical, and redesign the experience until it clicks.
- Create prototypes that make abstract AI capabilities concrete for customers, investors, recruits, and internal teams.
- Build P-1 AI’s product design system, including interaction patterns, information hierarchy, visual language, and reusable components.
- Partner with frontend and AI engineers to ship product quickly, then tighten the experience through repeated cycles of user feedback.
- Help decide what Archie should expose, what it should hide, when it should ask for help, and how it should communicate uncertainty in high-trust engineering workflows.
**About you:**
- You have designed products for technical users where the underlying domain was complex, ambiguous, and/or expert-driven.
- You can show a portfolio artifact where you personally turned a confusing workflow into a product experience that feels clear and powerful.
- You are strong at interaction design, product architecture, prototyping, and visual craft.
- You are comfortable working from first principles when there is no existing product category to copy.
- You like spending time with users, especially when the feedback is messy, technical, or contradictory.
- You can move between low-fidelity sketches, polished mockups, written product thinking, and implementation details without losing momentum.
**Location:**
Remote (US/Canada) or San Mateo, CA. Remote employees spend one week out of six working together on-site in our San Mateo office. Relocation support available.
**Benefits:**
Competitive salary, meaningful equity ownership, healthcare, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and unlimited PTO.
**Interview process:**
- Initial screening call (30 mins)
- Biographical/behavioural interview (45 mins)
- Portfolio review and design interview (60 mins)
- Customer strategy interview (30 mins)
- CEO interview (30 mins)
