Evolving Design Systems: Enhance existing design patterns and components to ensure consistency across AI-driven features, focusing on scalability for enterprise scientific users.

• 10+ years of UX design experience, with 3+ years leading AI/ML-powered enterprise platforms in life sciences, healthcare, or regulated environments.
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of scientific interfaces including complex data visualization, AI interface design, and workflow optimization for non-technical users.
• Proven ability to influence product strategy by translating scientific workflows into AI interaction patterns (e.g., multi-model comparisons, iterative retraining interfaces).
• Experience collaborating with scientists or AI teams to design interfaces that expose model inputs/outputs, uncertainty metrics, and feedback mechanisms.
• Familiarity with life sciences workflows (e.g., assay development, computational biology) and regulated environments (GxP, FDA).
• Proficiency in Figma, Miro, or similar tools for rapid prototyping.
• Strong communication skills, able to convey ideas clearly and persuasively across mediums with product managers, engineers, stakeholders, and customers.
