Job Description

Ford Motor Company is building AI-driven Insight and Analytics products, and this role sits at the center of turning complex requirements into usable, AI-native experiences. As a highly technical product designer, you will work across research, systems thinking, and hands-on prototyping to define what the future of insight looks like for data-rich workflows. This hybrid opportunity is based in Dearborn, MI.

What you’ll do

Translate complex product requirements into intuitive product and service experiences across a suite of advanced analytics and AI-driven products.
Collaborate with Product Managers to shape the roadmap, manage the design backlog, contribute UX and service design requirements to PRDs, and identify cross-team patterns, dependencies, handoffs, and failure points to support scalable decisions.
Bring the user’s perspective throughout the product lifecycle, championing user needs across end-to-end delivery.
Conduct hands-on generative and evaluative research using contextual inquiry, user interviews, and usability testing to uncover friction in complex data workflows and translate findings into AI feature requirements.
Convert research into actionable artifacts including journey maps, service blueprints, personas, ecosystem maps, plus current-state and future-state workflows.
Create user-centric flows and high-fidelity interactive prototypes for data-rich, AI-native environments, connecting digital touchpoints, handoffs, people, processes, policies, and backend systems into cohesive experiences.
Use working knowledge of Python, AI agents, and modern LLM frameworks to design and prototype agent-enabled workflows, including recommendations, automation, model outputs, feedback loops, confidence indicators, approvals, exception handling, and human oversight.
Partner with engineering, data science, and product management to bridge design intent with implementation using Model Context Protocols (MCPs) to connect users with AI agents and internal data sources.
Partner with engineering to bring data to life, enabling users to interpret complex information and act on it.
Design modular UI components and intuitive insights dashboards that help users interpret KPIs, interact dynamically with AI models, and take action.
Translate complex AI concepts into clear, engaging visual narratives.
Design and produce product demo videos, walkthroughs, and multimedia content to communicate design intent, user value, and product vision to technical and business stakeholders.
Evangelize human-centered and service-centered design within agile teams and across connected product groups.
Advocate for design decisions using research-backed insights, co-facilitate design thinking and service blueprinting sessions, and align stakeholders around shared outcomes, clear handoffs, and scalable service solutions.
Balance Desirability (user needs), Viability (business objectives), and Feasibility (technical constraints).
Partner with Analytics to evaluate design success and iterate using usage data, NPS, and direct customer feedback.
Ensure designs integrate across the broader digital and operational ecosystem, creating consistent, context-aware experiences across personas, analytics tools, AI agents, workflows, and service touchpoints.

Collaboration and skill focus

This role expects a blend of end-to-end product design and strong technical fluency so you can connect design intent to agent-enabled workflows and model-backed experiences. You will partner closely with product managers, data scientists, AI engineers, and fellow designers to deliver AI-driven insight capabilities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
7+ years of experience in UX research, interaction design, service design, or product design for complex, data-heavy, enterprise, or B2B applications.
5+ years translating complex systems, workflows, and data into clear user experiences, including visual/UI design, data visualization, and interaction design.
3+ years service design capability, including experience mapping end-to-end journeys and creating service blueprints, plus connecting digital touchpoints, people, processes, policies, and backend systems.
3+ years demonstrated ability to work across ambiguous, multi-team ecosystems by mapping current-state and future-state workflows, identifying handoffs and failure points, and aligning stakeholders around scalable service solutions.
6 months+ of AI-native design experience, including designing workflows with copilots, AI agents, recommendations, automation, model outputs, feedback loops, confidence indicators, approvals, exception handling, and human oversight.
