Product Designer pay

Disclosed yearly base-pay ranges in current Product Designer listings at U.S. AI companies and labs, from the employers’ own job listings. 177 of 227 current listings (78%) disclose one; 135 of those appear only in the job description. Listings last checked Oct 19, 2026.

Which titles count: A listing counts when its title contains “product designer”, “UX designer”, “UI designer”, “design engineer”, or “brand designer”. Chip, mechanical, and hardware design roles are left out. Matching is on the title only, not the job description, so listings with unusual titles may be missed.

All 177 listings with pay. Every listing with pay in the Jobs directory (the directory’s “shows pay” also includes hourly and other pay).

How these figures are computed

Method. Only pay employers disclose: the yearly U.S.-dollar base range in the employer’s job feed, or, when the feed gives none, a range stated in the employer’s own job description (labelled “description”). Each listing counts once, at the midpoint of its range (a listing with several location tiers spans its lowest to its highest figure). The median and the middle range (25th to 75th percentile) are of those midpoints. Listings are the current ones in the Jobs directory’s default view: a U.S. location, or no location that can be read.

Left out. Hourly, monthly, open-ended (“up to”), and non-dollar pay; ranges the employer labels as on-target earnings (base plus commission), bonus, equity, or total compensation; ranges with a lower end under $10,000 or an upper end over $2,000,000 a year (not plausible as a yearly base). Nothing is converted, annualized, or estimated. A group is shown only with at least 10 listings with pay.

Caveats. Posted ranges are what employers advertise, not what anyone is paid; many employers (and many states) post wide ranges, and listings without pay are not represented. Sales roles often state on-target earnings (base plus commission) without labelling them, so their figures may include commission. Role groups come from title rules, not job descriptions. There is no trend yet: USASI keeps no history of listings or pay, so each figure is for the listings current when this page was built.
