Represent the design discipline in cross-functional strategy discussions, advocating for usability, aesthetics, and brand experience. Benefits / Value to Company Cohesive experience: By integrating hardware and UI design under one leader, we deliver a unified, seamless brand experience. Consistency and efficiency: A consolidated design approach reduces design debt, speeds up development, and avoids fragmentation. Brand elevation: High-quality, cohesive design across touchpoints strengthens brand perception and market differentiation. Scalability: As product lines expand, having a lead ensures scalable design systems and processes. Qualifications 8+ years of experience in visual design, interaction design, or UI design, with leadership experience. Experience designing for both hardware (embedded UIs) and software (web/mobile) is highly preferred. Proficiency in design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite, prototyping tools). Experience building or managing design systems. Strong visual design sensibility and attention to detail. Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills. Portfolio that demonstrates past work across product types (hardware + digital). Bachelor’s or master’s in design, HCI, Industrial Design, or equivalent experience.
