Product Design / Studio Engineer

Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Glydways is looking for a Product Design / Studio Engineer to join our Vehicle Engineering team. This role sits directly at the critical intersection of Industrial Design (ID) and Mechanical Engineering (ME). You will act as the vital bridge that protects early design intent, styling, and premium user experiences while translating concepts into robust, engineering-ready architectures.

You will partner closely with Industrial Designers, UX Researchers, and cross-functional engineering teams (Structures, Electronics, and Thermal) to architect the physical interior and exterior of our autonomous vehicle fleet. From initial class-A surfacing and physical stack-ups to high-volume manufacturing bring-up, you will turn visionary concepts into physical, high-performing transit realities. This is a hands-on, builder role for someone who is as comfortable executing complex digital master-modeling as they are assembling quick-turn functional prototypes.
