Job summary

Advanced Medical Systems is seeking a Product Designer who can distill complex strategy into clear visuals and rapidly prototype creative concepts. You will champion an iterative, imperfect yet user-centered approach and lead brainstorming sessions to surface bold ideas.

The role encourages pushing design directions that feel fresh while staying true to the brand, growing a pragmatic toolkit for the next hire and adapting to a contract-driven rhythm in Elgin, IL.

Responsibilities

• Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas.
• Push make-it-better design directions far enough to feel new, close enough to feel us.
• Grow a scrappy Work Ethic toolkit into a documented system the next hire inherits.
• Reframe constraints from the contract budget as the brief's most useful lever.
• Seed fresh visual motifs that outlast a single $79,000 - $116,000-budget quarter.

Job description

Advanced Medical Systems is on the hunt for a Product Designer who can make complex ideas feel effortless and on-brand. Advanced Medical Systems frames it as a partnership — $79,000 - $116,000 for your 7 years, ownership of creative work, and growth shared both ways.

• Prototype three creative concepts cheap so the fourth can go deep
• Champion a proudly-imperfect approach to user-centered design in every project
• Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas
• Push make-it-better design directions far enough to feel new, close enough to feel us
• Grow a scrappy Work Ethic toolkit into a documented system the next hire inherits
• Reframe constraints from the contract budget as the brief's most useful lever
• Seed fresh visual motifs that outlast a single $79,000 - $116,000-budget quarter

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with contract arrangements and the rhythms of a safety-first workplace
• Heatmap Analysis fundamentals plus the Zeplin polish clients notice
• 6 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Willingness to commute to Elgin, IL or work flexibly as needed
• Working knowledge of Principle alongside transferable Zeplin chops
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, remote-native environment

The reputation Advanced Medical Systems enjoys across IL wasn't bought; the warm-yet-rigorous Elgin team earned it one creative project at a time. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.

Take home $79,000 - $116,000, build your Principle under a mentor, lean on benefits, and shape a contract week that finally fits.

This posting reflects an open need we are working to close this quarter.

Bring your Communication, your questions, and your ambition; we'll bring the rest at Advanced Medical Systems.
