  • Help design, grow, and maintain robust and scalable design systems that ensure consistency and efficiency across all products.

You:

  • Have a proven track record of working on complex, technical products, ideally with experience spanning desktop, web, mobile, or embedded interfaces.
  • Bring a clear understanding of human-computer interaction principles, executing them effectively and communicating design intentions clearly to collaborators.
  • Demonstrate a strong and diverse portfolio that includes early-stage ideation, user research, and pixel-perfect designs.
  • Have deep expertise with design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Thrive in a collaborative environment, where you can take and give constructive feedback in a culture where the best ideas win.
  • Have prior experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and enjoy working closely with product and engineering teams.

Bonus Skills: 

  • A background in human-computer interaction, design, or computer science is great, but your experience and enthusiasm matter most.
  • An interest in 3D printing, CAD, computational geometry, and/or related technologies.
  • Experience with web technologies (e.g. JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, and/or Electron.)
  • Experience with Qt, QML, or OpenGL.
