• Communicate design concepts, research findings, and rationale clearly and effectively to stakeholders
• Collaborate closely with product managers, R&D leadership, engineers, and external partners
• Participate in Human Factors Engineering (HFE) activities to improve usability, safety, and ergonomics
• Plan, execute, and track design projects, including scope, timelines, and risks
• Travel occasionally based on project needs

  • A Master’s or PhD in a related discipline is a plus
• At least 5 years of experience designing and launching software or informatics products in environments such as healthcare, logistics, defense, or similar industries
• Proven experience working in Scrum or Agile development teams
• Strong knowledge of user‑centered design principles and methodologies
• Hands‑on experience with design and prototyping tools such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, InVision, Axure, SolidWorks, Dreamweaver CC, PhoneGap Build, or similar
