About the Role

We are looking for an experienced UX Design Specialist to lead UX direction and execution across a product area. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll drive design strategy, coordinate UX efforts across multiple teams, and ensure cohesive, high-quality user experiences are delivered.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead UX strategy and execution across multiple products and cross-functional teams.
• Define and align UX direction with broader product and business objectives.
• Plan and prioritize UX design efforts, ensuring the right level of design investment across initiatives.
• Own the end-to-end design process—from discovery and problem framing through prototyping, validation, and production readiness.
• Utilize AI tools throughout the design workflow for ideation, research synthesis, content generation, rapid prototyping, and design validation.
• Create prototypes using Figma and code to validate concepts before implementation.
• Collaborate closely with Product Management, Engineering, and business stakeholders to embed UX into planning and delivery processes.
• Clearly communicate design trade-offs, highlighting impacts on user experience, timelines, and technical feasibility.
• Drive consistency by promoting design systems, UX standards, and scalable design practices.
• Mentor and influence designers by sharing AI best practices, design patterns, and UX methodologies.
• Identify design quality risks and recommend improvements to strengthen overall design maturity.
• Present design rationale and strategic recommendations to leadership, connecting UX decisions to measurable business outcomes.
• Participate in design critiques and cross-functional reviews to continuously raise design quality.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, or a related discipline (or equivalent professional experience).
• 8+ years of professional UX design experience, including leading UX initiatives across multiple teams or product areas.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating strategic design leadership, end-to-end product delivery, and measurable business impact.
• Deep expertise across the UX discipline, including:
  • User Research
  • Information Architecture
  • Interaction Design
  • Visual Design
  • Prototyping
  • UX Writing
  • User Journey Mapping
• Experience planning and allocating UX resources across multiple initiatives based on business priorities and user impact.
• Practical experience leveraging AI tools throughout the design lifecycle, including large language models (LLMs), AI-assisted design workflows, and code-based prototyping.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to influence product and engineering leadership.
• Experience working in Agile environments, including Sprint Planning and Program Increment (PI) Planning.
• Comfortable designing complex ecosystems involving multiple user roles, cross-platform experiences, and digital-physical interactions.
• Strong understanding of design systems, accessibility, usability principles, and scalable design practices.

What We Offer

• A dynamic and innovative workplace driving advancements in cutting-edge robotic technologies
• The opportunity to collaborate with talented cross-functional teams on meaningful and impactful projects
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package
• A supportive culture that fosters continuous learning, growth, and professional development
