Viam is a robotics platform that makes it easy to turn great ideas into production-ready robots. Viam works with any hardware and has a modern architecture, easy developer APIs, cloud connectivity and tools, and enterprise-grade security to give even the leanest teams the power to launch and scale their robotics business.
Viam makes building, deploying and managing robots more flexible, affordable and easy to use so that builders can do more with robots while getting them to market faster. By making robotics more accessible, Viam is attracting talent and investment to the industry so that more people start working with robots to build products and services that improve our world.
Viam's products are built for engineers expecting a world-class user experience. We want to build a platform we would want to use ourselves. We are looking for students studying or interested in fields related to Design (anything from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Graphic Design, Industrial Design, or Visual Communications, etc..) to collaborate with our full time Product Designers on building high-quality, accessible User Interfaces, and creating the future of robots.
You’ll be:
- Collaborating with the product design team to research and understand user needs and behaviors in order to develop new design concepts and improve existing products.
- Assisting with the creation of wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to help communicate design ideas and solutions
- Working closely with the product, marketing, and engineering teams to develop & execute plan for one of the new features or redesigns we plan to release during the summer
- Researching the robotics and SaaS industries and identifying commonly design patterns and best practices
We’re looking for someone:
- In the process of receiving a Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Product Design or related field, with at least one additional term after the end of the internship
- Available to intern in person at our New York City office for 10-12 weeks during the summer of 2023
- Genuinely curious about the intersection of hardware, software, and design. We don’t require prior knowledge of robots for this internship, but we are looking for people who are looking to learn.
