Product & UX Designer Jobs

Product design and UX in Ireland spans an unusual range — from semiconductor IC layout to SaaS interface design — with 58 active roles across Dublin (34), Limerick (6), and other locations.

Analog Devices at Raheen Business Park, Limerick leads with 6 positions, hiring IC layout designers and mixed-signal design engineers — hardware product design roles rooted in the semiconductor industry rather than the digital product world. Deel at Earlsfort Terrace has 4 product design positions for its global HR and payroll platform, while EY recruits 4 design professionals for its consulting practice's digital transformation engagements.

Canonical hires 3 product designers remotely, working on Ubuntu desktop, server, and cloud product experiences. Intercom at St. Stephen's Green and CarTrawler both recruit UX and product designers for their SaaS platforms. PA Consulting and Accenture bring the consultancy model, where designers work across multiple client engagements. Genesys and Proofpoint add enterprise software design demand.

What skills are in demand? For digital product design roles, Figma is the near-universal tool, complemented by user research methodologies, design systems thinking, prototyping, and accessibility standards (WCAG). For semiconductor design at ADI, the skill set is entirely different: Cadence Virtuoso, IC layout, DRC/LVS verification, and analog/mixed-signal design knowledge. The career path in digital design runs from Product Designer through Senior Product Designer to Design Lead, Head of Design, and VP Design — while the hardware track follows Layout Designer through Senior Design Engineer to Principal Engineer and Design Director. Ireland's design market is distinctive in offering both paths, with the Limerick semiconductor cluster providing hardware design opportunities rarely found elsewhere in Europe.

The breadth of the Irish design market is its defining feature. Few other European cities offer the chance to work on semiconductor IC layout and SaaS product design within the same geographic area. For UX and product designers in the digital space, the Dublin market benefits from the presence of design-mature companies like Intercom and HubSpot, which have established design systems, user research practices, and design leadership structures. For hardware-focused designers, Limerick's semiconductor cluster provides access to work at the frontier of analog and mixed-signal design � expertise that is in short supply globally and commands premium compensation.
