Senior UX/Interaction Designer

About the role

The Senior UX/Interaction Designer plays a key role in shaping intuitive, safe and effective user experiences for medical device platforms, with a particular focus on infusion systems and medication delivery. As part of the User Experience Design (UXD) team, this role translates complex clinical workflows, user needs and technical requirements into clear, user-centred interface designs.

Working closely with Human Factors, Engineering, Product Management, Clinical and other cross-functional partners, the Senior UX/Interaction Designer will lead the creation of interaction models, workflows, wireframes and prototypes, ensuring design solutions balance usability, clinical needs, technical feasibility and regulatory expectations. The role requires strong design craft, problem-solving and communication skills, alongside the ability to influence design decisions and champion user experience throughout product development.

Main responsibilities will include:

• Lead the design of intuitive user interfaces and interaction models for infusion pumps, therapy setup, medication delivery, alarms, device status and troubleshooting workflows.
• Translate user research, human factors insights and clinical requirements into effective interaction strategies and design solutions.
• Develop workflows, wireframes, interactive prototypes and detailed UI specifications, from early concepts through to development handoff.
• Collaborate closely with Human Factors, Industrial Design, Engineering, Product Management, Clinical, Quality and Regulatory teams to ensure design intent is maintained throughout development.
• Create and maintain design artefacts and prototypes to support user research, formative evaluations, design reviews and stakeholder engagement.
• Apply UX best practices, including information architecture, visual hierarchy, accessibility, error prevention, feedback and consistent design system usage.
• Work within Agile development teams, iterating designs in response to user feedback, technical constraints and evolving product requirements.

About you

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in UX Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in UX, UI or Interaction Design, ideally within medical devices or another regulated industry.
• Proven experience designing complex digital interfaces, ideally for embedded systems, medical devices or other safety-critical applications.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating interaction design, workflows, wireframes, prototyping and detailed design specifications.
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Axure, Adobe Creative Cloud or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of user-centred design principles, human factors, usability and accessibility.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and working within Agile product development environments.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design rationale and influence stakeholders.
• Highly organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
