Senior Product Designer

Vention helps some of the most innovative manufacturing companies automate their production floor in just a few days. Vention's manufacturing automation platform (MAP) enables its clients to design, automate, order, and deploy manufacturing equipment directly from their web browser. Vention is headquartered in Montreal, Canada, with offices in Berlin and Boston, and is used in over 3,000 factories on 5 continents.

As one of Canada's Most Admired Cultures we are a performance driven culture that cares deeply about our employees well being. We set ambitious goals, rely on data, and thrive on healthy debate. But we also know sustainable performance comes from a caring and uplifting environment. Both sides of our culture fuel each other—and we protect them equally.  Our values & principles include:

• We make our clients successful - we do what's right for our customers, even when it makes our roles more challenging.
• We execute and deliver - we set ambitious goals for ourselves and are energized about meeting them.
• We debate, then commit - we challenge our own perspectives and ideas in pursuit of the best solutions.
• We innovate to inspire - we value innovation in products, user experiences, and business practices.
• We collaborate to achieve more - we work as one team to achieve more than we would on our own.
• We empower our people to reach their full potential - we hold ourselves to high standards but know when to celebrate progress & achievements

Vention is looking for a Senior Product Designer (UI/UX) to craft exceptional digital experiences across our platform — from 3D machine design to automation and real-time operation. You'll help define how users interact with a connected ecosystem of web and tablet applications used by thousands of manufacturers worldwide.

You'll work within a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, and product managers to shape intuitive, elegant, and high-performing interfaces. This role combines deep user-experience thinking with a strong sense of visual craft and systems design.

We're looking for someone who cares deeply about interaction design, typography, motion, and clarity — a designer who can turn complex workflows into simple, cohesive, and beautiful products.

What You'll Do

• Lead design for core flows in our 3D MachineBuilder, shaping how users design and assemble automation equipment.

• Simplify complex technical workflows into clear, intuitive interfaces.

• Partner with product and engineering to define problems, run research, and validate solutions.

• Deliver user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI in Figma.

• Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure speed, quality, and consistency across the platform.

• Participate in user research, usability tests, and data-driven design decisions.

• Present and explain your work clearly in design reviews, with rationale rooted in user needs and business impact.

• 4–7 years of product design experience, with at least part of it focused on software products beyond websites.

• Portfolio that demonstrates strong UX problem-solving, interaction design, and UI craft.

• Experience designing complex tools or applications (ideally 3D, CAD, engineering, or assembly environments).

• Strong ability to structure, simplify, and communicate complex systems.

• Proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, execution-driven environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3D/CAD tools (SolidWorks, Onshape, Rhino, Unity, Unreal, etc.).

• Knowledge of manufacturing, automation, or technical workflows.

• Familiarity with design-to-code workflows and developer handoff practices.

How We Take Care of You

• Flexible paid time off. 
• Global comprehensive health plans so you feel your best.
• Complimentary beverages and snacks so that you are fuelled and ready for your day.
• Career growth opportunities. Your future matters.
• Fun-filled social events curated based on diverse interests for our team to celebrate together. From sponsored sports teams to trivia nights.
• Time off to volunteer and give back to your community.
