Day-to-day tasks will include working on innovative health applications, from concept to launch, using industry standard design tools to create wireframes, workflows, prototypes, and animations, as well as user-interface guidelines for software engineering.
The ideal candidate must be able to demonstrate using design thinking to create and develop detailed workflows, wireframes, and visual designs using different design systems depending on project type (Samsung Health, Bio-Marker Research, Medical Device). This candidate also has experience overseeing or contributing to multiple concurrent workstreams, leading or mentoring other designers, and giving presentations to various project stakeholders.
