About the Job

As a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer at MacroFab, you'll bring design-thinking into solving complex problems that redefine how the Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry works. You'll collaborate with cross-functional Product teams to discover and define solutions to key customer problems, act as the voice of the customer as our teams implement the solutions, and continuously iterate with your team as you gather data and learn more from customers.

We've built a vertically integrated platform that spans multiple functional areas and customer segments. Some of the exciting initiatives you might work on include:

  • Bolstering our competitive advantage by building world-class supply chain tools that automate every facet of our internal operations to deliver high-quality products in a cost-efficient manner.

MacroFab is on a rapid growth path following our recent $15M Series B funding. We are investing in all facets of our Product organization, which makes for an exciting place to work with many growth opportunities. This role is an excellent fit if you desire to work on a small, high-performance team that can have a significant impact without all the red tape that comes with traditional large enterprises.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
