Mirai is building the first AI‑driven autonomy platform for vessels under 100 ft, combining advanced robotics, sensor fusion, and
onboard intelligence to make every boat autonomous, safer, and dramatically easier to operate. Beyond enabling crewed vessels,
Mirai also develops next‑generation Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) — uncrewed platforms designed for exploration, utility
missions, and operational support — all powered by the same Operating System and multi‑layer autonomy framework.
When an operator commands a fleet of autonomous vessels running complex missions across open water, what they see on screen
determines what they understand — and what they decide. We are building the interface that makes that possible. It does not exist
yet.
We are seeking a senior HMI designer to own the design of Mirai's mission control interfaces — the visual layer between human
operators and autonomous systems operating at sea. This is not a dashboard project. This is the design of a new category of
interface: real-time, data-dense, spatially aware, built for operators who need to think fast and act precisely.
We are looking for the kind of designer who grew up obsessed with how game interfaces communicate overwhelming complexity without
losing the player — and has spent their career figuring out how to bring that craft to systems that operate in the real world.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Mission Interface Design
Design and own the HMI for Mirai's mission control platform — from situational awareness displays and fleet orchestration views to
individual vehicle command interfaces.
Translate complex, multi-source real-time data (telemetry, sensor feeds, mission status, comms) into interfaces that are
immediately readable under pressure.
Spatial & 3D Interface
Design 3D and geospatial visualization layers for maritime operational environments — vessel positioning, mission geometry,
environmental data, threat overlays.
Explore and prototype XR interface concepts for future operator interaction paradigms.
Design System & Visual Language
Define and maintain Mirai's HMI design language — typography, color systems, iconography, motion — built for dark environments,
high information density, and operator focus.
Ensure visual consistency across web, desktop, and XR surfaces.
Prototyping & Validation
Build high-fidelity interactive prototypes to validate design decisions before engineering implementation.
Work directly with software engineers to ensure design intent survives implementation.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Being the kind of designer who has spent years thinking about how to communicate complexity visually — someone who can look at a
dense tactical display and immediately see what is wrong, what is missing, and what would make it right.
5+ years of experience in HMI, game UI, or mission-critical interface design, with a portfolio that demonstrates real mastery of
data-dense, real-time visual systems.
Deep command of spatial design you understand 3D environments, map-based interfaces, and how information behaves in space.
Proficiency in Figma for design and prototyping. Bonus if you can reach into Unity, Unreal, Three.js, or WebGL to prototype ideas
directly.
A visual sensibility shaped by game interface design, simulation environments, or defense/industrial HMI — you know what a good
tactical display feels like, and you can build one.
Fluent in English. Hybrid role, with regular presence at Mirai's lab in Puglia for design reviews and operator testing sessions.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience designing for XR platforms (HoloLens, Quest, or similar) or spatial computing environments.
Background in game UI/UX — shipped titles, mods, or serious games — especially in strategy, simulation, or military contexts.
Exposure to real-time data visualization libraries or 3D web rendering (Three.js, Deck.gl, Cesium).
Understanding of operator-in-the-loop systems, situational awareness design, or human factors in high-stakes environments.
WHAT WE OFFER
Design problem space that does not exist anywhere else — a new category of interface for a new category of system.
Direct collaboration with the engineering team building the autonomy stack you are designing for.
The creative authority to define Mirai's visual language from the ground up.
Hybrid role with regular presence in Italy and flexibility on remote work.
The chance to ship interfaces that operate in the real world — at sea, under pressure, for real missions.
JOIN US
If you have spent your career making complex systems feel immediate and controllable — and you want to do it for autonomous robots
operating at sea — Mirai is where you do it.
