June 1 st – August 7 th : First cohort start & end date June 1 5 th – August 2 1 st : Second cohort start & end date Your role: Support Design Initiatives Contribute to the evolution of our Xvantage platform by helping shape user interfaces that feel less like software and more like second nature. You'll explore how intelligent design can untangle the complexities of IT distribution and supply chain – asking "what if this were simpler?" and then actually building it. User Research Participation Dig into the "why" behind how people work. Through interviews, surveys, and usability testing, you'll uncover the friction points and unmet needs that data alone can't reveal. You'll also get to explore how AI-driven behavioral insights are beginning to reshape what we even think to ask users – and what we discover without asking at all. Prototype Development Turn ideas into something you can click, test, and learn from. You'll build prototypes that bring new features to life and collaborate with developers to make them real — while staying curious about how generative AI tools are changing the speed and texture of the design process itself. Feedback Integration Treat every piece of feedback as a signal worth investigating. You'll close the loop between users, teammates, and stakeholders – iterating with intention and staying open to the possibility that the best design solution might be one nobody has thought of yet, including an AI. Collaboration and Learning Embed yourself in a team of Product Designers and UX Researchers who believe great design is never finished. You'll contribute to a living ecosystem built for growth – and stay genuinely curious about how AI is quietly rewriting the rules of what human-centered design can be.
