Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
The Challenge
Our products are used by professionals with a lot on the line, operating in rugged environments where every second counts. Their mission is clear: find the missing person, get the lights back on, keep the roads open, and keep the good guys safe. Our mandate is to solve one of the most complex problems of our time: how to build autonomous flying robots that help them get the job done, no matter what. If reading that excites you, we want to talk to you. Skydio isn’t just building drones; we are defining the future of autonomous robotics. To win, our products must be more than just capable, they must be undeniably reliable.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We are looking for a UX Product Design Lead who understands that trust isn't a buzzword; it's built through absolute system transparency, pragmatic workflows, and giving the operator a clear handle to grab when things get chaotic. You will help us invent the interfaces of the future. You will not be designing generic dashboards. You will be designing the critical trust-bridge between human operators and advanced AI hardware, translating extreme technological complexity into intuitive, reliable, and beautiful experiences.
About The Role
As a Design Lead, you are a trailblazer. You thrive on solving problems that have never been solved before. You are equal parts strategic storyteller and hands-on craftsperson. You don't just wait for product requirements; you help define the vision, use narrative to align Engineering and Product, and execute with an incredibly high bar for detail. You will work directly with Design Leadership, Product Managers, and Engineers to map out Critical User Journeys (CUJs) and build cross-platform experiences (Web, Mobile, Ground Control Stations) that our customers implicitly trust.
How You'll Make An Impact
- Design for Trust: Lead the UX strategy and execution for our core platforms (including remote operations). You will build interfaces for autonomous flying robots that make the operator trust the job will get done, ensuring every interaction reinforces confidence, reliability, and system transparency.
- Solve Unsolved Problems: Tackle complex challenges where there is no existing playbook. You will think pragmatically and creatively to design interfaces for remote hardware sensing, 3D spatial awareness, and AI-driven missions.
- Drive the Narrative: Use exceptional storytelling to communicate user needs, frame complex problems, and align Engineering, Product Management, and Executive leadership around a unified, grounded design vision.
- Elevate the Craft: Bring an uncompromising attention to detail and craftsmanship to the team. You will build high-fidelity prototypes to test assumptions quickly, leveraging AI tools as a seamless part of your daily process to move faster and explore wider.
- Get in the Field: Go on-site with our customers to deeply understand their chaotic, high-stress environments. Bring that "ground truth" back to the studio so it informs every pixel.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- First-Principles Problem Solver: You are an out-of-the-box thinker who loves operating in ambiguous spaces where no existing design patterns exist.
- Uncompromising Craftsmanship: A portfolio that clearly demonstrates an exceptionally high bar for visual design, complex systems architecture, and attention to detail.
- Strategic Leadership: You have a proven track record of driving design strategy at a senior/lead level, actively shaping product roadmaps rather than just taking orders.
- Fluency in Complexity: Demonstrated experience shipping products in highly technical disciplines. We want to see portfolios featuring: Robotics Controls, Avionics, Geospatial/Mapping, Heavy Data/Fleet Management, or Remote Hardware Sensing.
- Prototyping Chops ("You Build to Think"): You can quickly mock up interactive prototypes to prove out concepts before Engineering writes a line of production code. You also actively integrate AI tools into your daily workflow to increase velocity and explore wider.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Deep understanding of Android-based HIG and Mobile Design Patterns for physical hardware controllers.
- Front-end coding ability (HTML/CSS/Javascript) to help bridge the gap with engineering.
- Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in UX Product Design
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a specific degree, not just design skills. Frame portfolio case studies around systems-level thinking, UX research methodology, and product strategy to demonstrate the theoretical and practical depth a specialty occupation demands.
Filter employers by active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to identify employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings for UX and product design roles, so you're targeting companies that have already navigated the sponsorship process rather than educating a recruiter from scratch.
Check prevailing wage levels before accepting offers
Your offer must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your exact SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search using the UX Designer or Product Designer occupation code before negotiations so you know whether the offer clears the legal threshold.
Target cap-exempt employers for faster timelines
Universities, nonprofits affiliated with higher education, and qualifying research institutions are exempt from the H-1B lottery cap. UX roles at these organizations can be filed year-round, bypassing the April registration window entirely.
Verify your role's SOC code before the employer files
DOL and USCIS assess your petition against the O*NET occupation profile tied to your SOC code. Confirm with your employer's attorney that the job description maps to the correct code before the LCA is filed, since corrections after certification add delay.
Use your 60-day grace period strategically
If your H-1B employment ends, USCIS allows a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor. Prioritize employers already familiar with H-1B transfers, since a cap-exempt transfer filing can keep your status continuous without re-entering the lottery.
H-1B Visa UX Product Design: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a UX Product Design role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as interaction design, human-computer interaction, cognitive science, or a design-focused engineering discipline. A general 'bachelor's degree in any field' requirement is a common RFE trigger for design roles, so the job description must specify the degree field, not just the level.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for UX and product design roles?
Search Migrate Mate to browse UX Product Design jobs filtered by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. DOL disclosure data shows which companies have filed Labor Condition Applications for design-related SOC codes, so you can prioritize outreach to organizations that have already cleared the process rather than ones encountering it for the first time.
What SOC code applies to UX Product Design for the H-1B LCA filing?
Most UX Product Design roles are filed under SOC 27-1021 (Commercial and Industrial Designers) or 15-1255 (Web and Digital Interface Designers), depending on whether the work is primarily product-focused or interface-driven. The SOC code determines the prevailing wage level your employer must certify, so confirming the right code with the filing attorney before LCA submission is essential.
Can I switch employers mid-H-1B if I find a better UX role?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you change employers after your petition has been pending for at least 180 days, as long as the new role is in the same or a substantially similar specialty occupation. Your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition, and you can start working as soon as USCIS receives it, without waiting for approval.
Does a UX Product Design contract or freelance role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Generally no. H-1B requires an employer-employee relationship where the sponsoring company controls your work. Pure freelance or independent contractor arrangements don't meet USCIS's control test. If you're placed through a staffing or consulting firm, the end-client must have a bona fide employment relationship with the petitioning entity, and USCIS scrutinizes third-party placement arrangements closely for design roles.
