They translate clinical workflows and user needs into elegant interfaces, rapid prototypes, and validated experiences across multiple concurrent products while preserving a consistent product-family experience.
The UI/UX Designer will be proficient with the entire UX process including discovery, research, ideation, prototyping, and validation.
General Responsibilities- Lead end-to-end UX for assigned products from discovery through delivery, ensuring user-centered, validated solutions.
- Conduct user research and testing with clinicians and patients; synthesize findings into clear requirements and improvements.
- Design and prototype interaction models, wireframes, and high-fidelity UIs to communicate intent and enable implementation.
- Maintain a scalable design system and production-ready specs to ensure portfolio-wide consistency and efficient handoffs.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineering, human factors, regulatory, legal, security, and marketing to align on safety, usability, and go-to-market needs.
- Elevate UI/UX best practices and methodologies by defining, documenting, and sharing standardized design processes, templates, and governance to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.
Specific Responsibilities- Lead discovery activities: run stakeholder interviews, contextual inquiry, and workflow mapping with clinicians and patients
- Synthesize research into requirements: create user personas, journey maps, and prioritized UX requirements.
- Define information architecture: establish navigation, content hierarchy, and data flows for device and companion applications.
- Create interaction models and wireframes: produce low- and mid-fidelity artifacts to validate flows and behaviors.
- Produce high-fidelity UI designs: deliver pixel-perfect screens, visual assets, and motion cues that reflect brand and clinical needs.
- Build interactive prototypes: create clickable prototypes for concept validation, stakeholder reviews, and engineering alignment.
- Plan and run UX and usability testing: design test plans, recruit participants, run sessions, synthesize results, and produce actionable reports.
- Deliver production-ready specs: provide annotated designs, component specs, and developer handoff artifacts (tokens, assets, logic rules/states, and guidelines).
