About The Position

As a Principal UX Designer on the User Experience Design team, you will drive experience definition for a portfolio of robotic systems, providing the GUI, light and sound of the systems. Working closely with colleagues in Software Engineering, Industrial Design, Human Factors and Product Management, you will advance the definition of J&J's vision for surgical robotics. Every day, you will bring to life experience visions, aligning designs across the team to the roadmap, and crafting the best user experience for the entire medical team. Surgery is a team sport, so you will be encouraged to become familiar with a range of user types across a variety of clinical specialties. You'll bring your passion for design to a broad range of projects using both internal and external resources. Although the scope of your work is focused on digital interactions, this role should consider the physical experience as well. As a leader within the UX Design team, you'll also help shape a team culture that is inclusive, creative and obsessed with improving experiences for our users. We strive to create impactful work while also creating a positive environment for us all to work in.
