As a UI/UX Designer at Pilgrim, you will own the structure, clarity, and usability of our digital interfaces. This role requires strong judgment, clean execution, and the ability to translate complex technical procedures into interfaces that are straightforward, stable, and easy to use. You will collaborate closely with software and hardware teams to ensure every screen and interaction reflects the practical realities of lab and field operation.

  • Develop UX flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI screens for internal instrumentation tools, hardware configuration interfaces, and workflow-driven applications.
  • Translate technical procedures and experimental workflows into intuitive layouts that reduce error and keep operators oriented.
  • Maintain Pilgrim’s design language in Figma, including components, spacing logic, typography, and interaction patterns.
  • Work closely with software and hardware teams to align UI behavior with device capabilities, sensor outputs, and workflow requirements.
  • Conduct rapid user testing with engineers and scientists to identify friction points and refine steps, controls, and visualizations.
  • Prepare structured handoff packages for engineering, including annotated screens, interaction states, and component behaviors.
  • Support internal demos and partner engagements with polished prototypes and interface visuals that accurately represent system behavior.
  • Iterate quickly as hardware or workflow requirements evolve while preserving UI clarity, consistency, and technical accuracy.
  • Portfolio demonstrating strong UX reasoning, clean UI execution, and experience supporting technical or workflow-heavy applications.
  • High proficiency in Figma — components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping, and systemized file organization.
  • Ability to break down complex lab or hardware processes into structured, usable interaction flows.
  • Experience designing interfaces for scientific tools, instrumentation, internal tools, or engineering-heavy applications.
  • Solid understanding of hierarchy, spacing, typography, and interaction fundamentals.
  • Organized approach to design files, naming, component management, and handoff practices.
  • Clear communication skills and ability to work in a fast-moving environment alongside engineers and scientists.
  • Experience with data visualization or instrumentation UIs (sensor data, device states, logs, or run statuses).
  • Background designing for lab tools, biotech instrumentation, or hardware/software integration.
  • Familiarity with design systems and maintaining shared component libraries.
  • Exposure to workflows involving sample processing, measurement devices, or stepwise scientific procedures.
