Role overview
A remote UI/UX Designer position based in Germany, focused on shaping how engineers interact with complex simulation and analysis tools through an AI-powered automation platform. The work centers on translating intricate engineering tool details into scalable visual patterns, designing node-based interfaces, and building AI-assisted workflow experiences that compress automation timelines from months into days.
Responsibilities
- Drive discovery and continuous feedback loops by engaging directly with engineering users from aerospace, automotive, and adjacent industries to validate assumptions and refine the experience.
- Design individual node interfaces for integrated engineering tools, develop scalable interaction patterns, and contribute to iconography and information architecture.
- Translate technical tool specifications into clear, user-friendly abstractions and own the design from early concepts through polished, high-fidelity prototypes.
- Operate within a product trio alongside a Product Manager and Tech Lead to shape product vision, gather requirements, and champion the user's perspective.
- Evolve the 3D viewer to support new engineering domains and contribute to AI-based workflow building experiences.
- Participate actively in design critiques, helping raise consistency and quality across the broader design system.
Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on UI/UX design experience, ideally with products serving the mechanical engineering domain.
- Working understanding of engineering processes, including simulation methods such as FEA or CFD.
- Experience with 3D interfaces or visualization tools.
- Demonstrated end-to-end design ownership, spanning discovery research through shipped product.
- Strong visual design skills with a sharp eye for layout, typography, and color, backed by a polished portfolio.
- Advanced proficiency with Figma.
- Experience embedded closely with product managers and engineers in agile, iterative environments, comfortable navigating ambiguity and defining a path forward in fast-moving teams.
Nice to have
- Background collaborating with users from CFD, optimization, or mechanical engineering workflows.
- Familiarity with visual programming interfaces or node-based design systems.
- Exposure to low-code or automation tooling.
Benefits and work setup
- Remote work within Germany, with flexibility to swap public holidays; office access available in Bremen plus home-office setup support.
- Planned salary range of 50,800–67,200 EUR at intermediate level or 65,500–84,100 EUR at experienced level, with flexibility for exceptional candidates.
- €2,000 annual personal development budget for conferences, training, or books.
- Trust-based, uncounted vacation policy.
- JobRad bike leasing, Wellpass company fitness, and a mental health platform subscription.
- Regional meet-ups, weekly virtual coffee breaks, workshops, and a yearly company-wide summer event.
