Product Design Consultant (Contract, 3–6 Months)

Yesterday New York, NY

About Nanit:

Welcome to Nanit, the high-growth baby tech company that is changing the way parents experience parenthood through the world’s most advanced baby monitor and parenting products.  In 2016, the Nanit baby monitor revolutionized the industry with computer-vision and machine-learning capabilities that helped parents understand their baby’s sleep patterns and allowed them to achieve better sleep quality. Now, the company has become the leader in the connected parenting space, with an incredible customer base of highly-engaged parents who look to Nanit as a source of information and expertise on their parenting journey.

About the Role:

We're looking for a senior Product Design Consultant to join the team on a contract basis, focusing on an exciting set of strategic projects that support parents and families. 

You'll take work from concept through polished, build-ready design. Software is the priority, though experience designing for connected/physical products is a strong plus–this work lives at the intersection of hardware and app. 

You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical, and Marketing to bring something genuinely new to market on a tight timeline.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design and ship specific product features and flows, from early concepts through detailed build-ready specs
  • Produce high-craft interaction and visual design for mobile experiences on iOS and Android
  • Work within Nanit's existing design system, using and extending established components and patterns
  • Navigate connected product flows including device pairing and sync experiences
  • Partner closely with engineers and PMs to refine designs and support implementation
  • Communicate design decisions clearly and incorporate feedback to keep projects moving

Who You Are:

  • 7+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped consumer tech work
  • Excellent hands-on craft in mobile design on iOS and Android, with sophisticated interaction and visual design skills
  • Software-first designer with experience in connected or IoT products, consumer hardware, medical devices, or healthcare products considered a strong plus
  • Comfortable working within an established design system rather than building one from scratch
  • Highly proficient in Figma
  • Self-directed and quick to ramp, able to pick up projects with minimal oversight and deliver on schedule
  • Strong communicator who collaborates well with Product and Engineering partners
  • Comfortable using AI tools to move faster and explore ideas
  • Genuine interest in improving the lives of parents and babies through thoughtful design
