Sr. AR/VR/AI Experience Prototyper
Explicitly mentions "vibe" coding as a rapid prototyping technique and includes AI-assisted prototyping in the role.
About the Role
Senior experience prototyper focused on exploring and demonstrating next-generation spatial and intelligence-based user experiences using AR, AI/ML, computer vision, and ambient computing. Rapidly build interactive prototypes (using Swift/ARKit and other tools) to inform product decisions, communicate findings to cross-functional partners, and help guide technology incubation.
Job Description
Role
The Vision Products Group seeks a senior experience prototyper to rapidly develop interactive prototypes that explore and communicate capabilities of future products involving augmented reality, artificial intelligence/machine learning, computer vision, and ambient/IoT experiences. You will work cross-functionally to create experiential prototypes that guide decision-making and build intuition across teams and leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Rapidly develop user-facing experience prototypes that surface the core interactions and behaviors of nascent technologies.
- Demonstrate prototypes to cross-functional partners and leadership.
- Communicate requirements and translate experiential learnings into product plans and recommendations.
- Navigate hardware and software trade-offs to produce coherent, user-focused experiences.
- Explore ambiguous, open-ended problems and iterate quickly to surface promising directions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with prototyping technologies such as Touch Designer, PureData, Arduino, or similar tools.
- Experience with IoT/ubiquitous computing/ambient interfaces and natural UI paradigms.
- Familiarity with immersive experiences, 3D math, and Unity or other 3D development platforms.
- Comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries and exploring open-ended design problems.
Minimum Qualifications
- BS in Computer Science or equivalent and 5+ years of relevant experience.
- Able to build end-user applications using technologies like SwiftUI and ARKit (or similar frameworks).
- Familiar with rapid prototyping techniques, including AI-assisted (“vibe” coding), Wizard-of-Oz approaches, and embedded/Arduino systems.
- Experience building applications involving AI and foundation models, including prompting and fine-tuning LLMs and working with MCP-based systems.
- Eager and able to learn new tools and techniques quickly.
