Job Description

Help shape the future of healthcare by designing safe and intuitive image guided surgery and diagnostic imaging systems. As a Usability Designer, you will apply human factors and usability expertise to ensure Philips IGT products meet user needs and regulatory requirements—enabling clinicians to deliver faster, more effective care.

Your role:

• Make a greater impact by improving the safety, usability, and effectiveness of our IGT systems, directly supporting better outcomes for patients and caregivers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including engineering, clinical, marketing, quality, regulatory, and service—to deliver human-centered solutions that meet global medical device standards.
• Conduct and lead user research, usability testing (formative and summative), task analysis, and risk assessments (usability FMEA), and generate documentation for regulatory submissions (FDA, EU-MDR, CMDE).
• Work on usability documentation and report outs related to usability studies like expert review, formative evaluation and summative usability evaluations.
• Create usability testing protocols, select user profiles, create usability test plans and prioritize feedback and findings into safety, critical and other categories.
• Stay ahead of usability regulations (IEC 62366, ISO 14971, FDA guidance) and advise teams on compliant, user-focused product development.
• You’ll work in a dynamic and collaborative team, with access to a network of usability experts. The role offers significant personal and professional growth opportunities in a creative, high-impact environment, with strong support for continuous learning.

You're the right fit if:

• You bring 5+ years of experience in usability, human factors, or user-centered design—ideally in medical devices or other high-regulation industries (aviation, automotive, military).
• You have strong research and communication skills, with the ability to translate user needs into actionable design input and strategic direction.
• You hold a degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Cognitive Psychology, or a related field with a focus on Human Factors or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
• You’re familiar with medical device usability and risk management standards (e.g., IEC 62366, FDA guidance, ISO 14971, EU-MDR).
