About The Position

Some designers make things look good. The best designers make incredibly complex systems feel effortless. We’re looking for a UX/UI Designer who can turn industrial complexity into intuitive, elegant user experiences that real people actually enjoy using. This isn’t a “make the buttons prettier” kind of role. We need someone who can dive deep into how operators, engineers, and technicians think, work, and make decisions—then transform those insights into modern interfaces that improve usability, efficiency, and safety in high-impact industrial environments. You’ll work alongside product managers, software developers, automation engineers, and stakeholders to shape the next generation of industrial software experiences. If you love solving messy, meaningful problems and creating products that users genuinely appreciate, this role was probably made for you.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Industrial Design, Psychology, or related field
5-7 years of experience in UX/UI research and design
Proven experience designing complex B2B, industrial, or operational software applications
Strong proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD
Excellent communication, collaboration, and presentation skills
Strong understanding of usability principles, interaction design, and information architecture
Ability to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals in fast-moving environments
Experience working in Agile product development environments

Nice To Haves

Experience in manufacturing, automation, or other industrial environments
Familiarity with SCADA systems, PLC interfaces, MES systems, or operational technology platforms

Passion for making highly technical systems feel approachable and intuitive

Design intuitive wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes for industrial web, desktop, and embedded applications
Create modern, scalable user experiences for complex operational systems and data-driven applications
Collaborate closely with software developers, automation engineers, and product stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle
Advocate for the user during planning, design, and implementation decisions
