About the Role

Role details below.

Analyze and map user workflows, understanding goals, friction points, constraints, and mental models.
Design clear, efficient, future-ready workflow solutions for complex engineering tasks.
Produce interaction models, user flows, and conceptual designs that guide product direction.
Plan and conduct user interviews, workflow observations, and usability tests.
Synthesize findings into actionable insights, requirements, and design opportunities.
Validate ideas through iterative prototyping and feedback cycles.
Create mockups, prototypes, and detailed interaction behaviors that represent your design vision.
Collaborate with visual/UI designers when needed, or deliver UI designs yourself depending on scope.
Work closely with engineering to ensure design intent is translated into high-quality implementation.
Partner with product managers to inform feature scope, priorities, and product strategy.
Present concepts, rationale, and workflow improvements to stakeholders.
Document design decisions, flows, and system behaviors to support implementation and knowledge sharing.
Advocate for user needs and cohesive product experience across teams.

~5+ years in Product Design, Interaction Design, UX Design, or similar.
Bachelor's degree: This is a common requirement, with relevant fields including industrial design, product design, graphic design, engineering, human-computer interaction, and material management.
Experience designing for complex, technical, or multi-step workflows.
Ability to work from research and problem discovery through to mockups and prototypes.
Strong collaboration skills, especially with engineers and product managers.
Clear communication skills — written, verbal, and visual.
Proficiency in modern design tools (Figma preferred).
Strong portfolio showing workflow design, interaction design, systems thinking, and real product impact.
Comfortable with ambiguity and iterative problem-solving.

Experience or interest in electronics, engineering workflows, CAD/EDA tools, or embedded systems.
Familiarity with technical users: engineers, developers, hardware designers.
Background in engineering or exposure to hardware/software development environments.
Experience conducting or supporting research activities.

This role is not a purely visual/UI design role — although you will produce mockups and prototypes, your primary responsibility is to design how the system should work, not just how it looks.
Experience with CAD, EDA, engineering tools, or hardware/software development workflows is highly beneficial, as the products you design will be used by technical professionals across the electronics industry.
