Technical UX Designer

Axon is hiring a Technical UX Designer (Senior XR UX Designer) to join its product design team in Seattle. This hybrid role offers a highly competitive base salary ranging from $143,250 to $229,200 annually, with total compensation including bonus and stock awards. This opportunity is ideal for senior-level UX professionals with deep Unity and XR (AR/VR/MR) expertise who want to build mission-critical experiences that support safety, justice, and real-world impact.

As a Technical UX Designer, you will lead end-to-end experience design for extended reality (XR) products, building high-fidelity, production-informed prototypes directly in Unity. This is not a conceptual design role; you will create functional Unity experiences that validate decisions early and influence shipped products.

You will design XR systems holistically, mapping full customer journeys across interactions, handoffs, and system states. Working closely with engineering and research, you will translate interaction models into real-time spatial behaviors, ensuring usability, reliability, and comfort in immersive environments. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Director of Product Design, AR/VR, with a strong emphasis on systems thinking, AI-assisted coding, and scalable design foundations.

Axon is a global public safety technology leader focused on protecting life through connected devices and cloud software. Known for innovation in law enforcement and justice technologies, Axon fosters a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where design, engineering, and research collaborate closely to build impactful solutions. The Seattle office operates on a hybrid schedule, with in-office collaboration Tuesday through Friday to encourage cross-functional innovation.

This Technical UX Designer role at Axon offers senior XR professionals the opportunity to build immersive, mission-driven products while earning competitive compensation in Seattle. With ownership over system-level experience design and direct influence on shipped XR solutions, this position provides both technical depth and meaningful impact within a globally recognized public safety technology company.
