Our team is composed of technologists and business leaders dedicated to innovation and excellence. We are seeking a visionary, highly skilled, and innovative UX Designer (4–8 Years) to join our high-impact Team. In this role, you will lead the user experience and visual design strategy for cutting-edge digital platforms, AI-driven tools, and complex enterprise software. You will turn ambiguous, high-tech concepts into elegant, intuitive, and high-performing digital products.

Qualification & Experience:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Visual Communication, Industrial Design, Computer Science, or a related field. (Specialized degree or academic background in UX Design is a strong plus)
• Required Certification: Must hold at least one recognized professional UI/UX design certification (e.g., NN/g UX Master / Certified, Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF), Google UX Design Professional Certificate, or HCI Certification).
• Experience: 4 to 8 years of hands‑on experience in end‑to‑end product design, UX research, interaction design, and complex enterprise or AI tool interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Product Design: Lead the complete design lifecycle—from generative research, user journey mapping, and wireframing to high‑fidelity UI design, prototyping, and design system maintenance.
• Lab Innovation & AI Interface Design: Design ground‑breaking, intuitive user experiences tailored for AI/ML and Computer Vision workflows (e.g., visual data annotation platforms, spatial AI dashboards, real‑time diagnostic interfaces).
• User Research & Usability Testing: Conduct qualitative and quantitative user research, contextual inquiries, and usability tests with domain experts, engineers, and end‑users to validate complex workflows.
• Design Systems & Scalability: Define, govern, and scale comprehensive design systems and component libraries to ensure visual and functional consistency across all lab applications.
• Rapid Prototyping: Create interactive, high‑fidelity prototypes (using Figma, Protopie, etc.) to communicate micro‑interactions, motion design, and complex data visualizations to stakeholders and developers.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Machine Learning Engineers, and Full-Stack Developers to ensure design feasibility, technical alignment, and seamless execution.
• Advocacy & Mentorship: Drive a human-centered design culture across the lab, mentoring junior team members and advocating for best accessibility (WCAG) and UX standards.

Technical Essentials

• Design & Prototyping Tools: Expertise in modern design suites (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and advanced prototyping tools (Principle, ProtoPie, Framer).
• UX Research & Testing: Proven ability to run end-to-end UX research using tools like Maze, UserTesting, Hotjar, or contextual interviews.
• Design Systems: Demonstrated capability in building and maintaining tokenized, accessible design systems at scale.
• Information Architecture & Interaction: Deep knowledge of information architecture, wireframing, micro-interactions, and visual hierarchy for data-dense applications.
• Technical & Frontend Literacy: Working understanding of web technologies (HTML5, CSS/Tailwind, component-based frameworks like React/Vue) to ensure design feasibility during developer handoff.
• Accessibility Standards: Mastery of inclusive design principles and WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility compliance.

Soft Skills & Behavioral Attributes

• Strategic Product Mindset: Ability to balance complex technological capabilities (AI/ML) with actual user needs and business goals.
• Innovative & Creative Problem-Solver: Thrives in an ambiguous, lab-oriented environment where novel user experience paradigms must be invented from scratch.
• High Empathy & User Advocacy: Deep passion for understanding complex user workflows and translating technical pain points into frictionless digital experiences.
