A Career at HARMAN
As a technology leader that is rapidly on the move, HARMAN is filled with people who are focused on making life better. Innovation, inclusivity and teamwork are a part of our DNA. When you add that to the challenges we take on and solve together, you'll discover that at HARMAN you can grow, make a difference and be proud of the work you do every day.
As a Senior Principal UI/UX Designer, you will have ownership of the visual, user interface, and user-experience design, ensuring Roon's continued position as the leading app for discerning music lovers. Our user base is passionate and demands nothing short of the best possible experience when using Roon to interact with their music. Our team is equally passionate and is always thinking of new highly functional and visually exciting ways to bring people closer to the music they love.
You will have a leadership role in the conceptualization of the user experience and visual design of Roon across desktop, mobile, and the web. As such you will be working closely with the product and engineering teams to ensure that Roon continues its leadership position in quality user experience and visual style.
Your work requires a firm grasp of user problems or product deficiencies and taking end-to-end ownership of the required solution(s). This will include design with an eye toward ROI, rallying all stakeholders around new concepts, development of mock-ups and functional prototypes, and mentoring other members of the team in the delivery of the final product to an unparalleled level of quality.
What You Will Do
List the professional and/or technical competencies needed when performing the key responsibilities of the position. Explain the degree to which this position affects the business (i.e. making decisions, defining or setting strategy, etc.). Please further explain the breadth of the impact this position has (i.e. affects own team, department, function, division, geography, etc.).

• You are familiar with long-standing UI and UX principles, and you stay on top of current product design trends. You're opinionated when it comes to great product design, and understand exactly what makes a product intuitive, addictive, and visually striking.
• You are detail-oriented and encourage your team to polish until work is pixel-perfect.
• You are comfortable working directly with engineers as you deliver implementation-ready graphical specifications that scale across different screen sizes, languages, platforms, and form factors.
