Job description

Overview

UX Designer Software High Wycombe Hybrid to £50,000pa plus benefits:

Are you a UX Designer who has a scientific or engineering mind? Would you like to work on world-leading scientific software and how this global scientific community uses this technology?

Our client has been at the forefront of technical innovation for over 50 years. Their groundbreaking products are used worldwide and as they go from strength to strength, they are looking for two UX Designers to join their highly talented software engineering team.

I am looking for a UX Designer who has a background in user experience design and are looking to further develop those talents on a complex technical product. This role would also suit a UX Designer who likes the idea of working in large team of designers, developers, and testers (45 people in the software department) in a highly technical environment. And any interest in desktop development and instrument control is preferred, rather than web or cloud development which is not the right skill set for this role.

Responsibilities

• In this position the work is generally supervised and approved by others
• You will be working with a number of teams to help them deliver functionality targeted at the next scheduled release
• You will help us maintain good design principles and work within our branding guidelines, but also take a keen interest in UI trends in the market to keep us best in class.

About you

• A Science or Engineering qualification. If not a software engineering qualification, then also backed up with formal software training
• Proven user-centred design and prototyping skills with 2+ years experience
• Proficient in design and interaction software such as Figma or Adobe XD
• Experience working in an Agile environment with a cross functional team.
• Proven experience collaborating with product owners and developers to gather requirements and understand user needs.
• Have a full understanding of UX and UI design.
• Ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously.

Our client is offering a hybrid working arrangement with 3 days in their offices and 2 days from home. There is flexible start and finish times so you can plan your day around your preferred hours.
