• Build interactive prototypes: create clickable prototypes for concept validation, stakeholder reviews, and engineering alignment.
• Deliver production‑ready specs: provide annotated designs, component specs, and developer handoff artifacts (tokens, assets, logic rules/states, and guidelines).
• Maintain and evolve the design system: create reusable components, documentation, and versioning to ensure portfolio consistency.

• 8+ years of experience as a Product UI Designer, with at least 3 recent years in the medical device industry.
• Strong verbal and written communication and proven cross‑functional collaboration skills.
• Self‑starter who proactively drives outcomes, negotiates trade‑offs, and works independently when needed.
• Excellent teamwork, partnering, and negotiation abilities to align stakeholders and move projects forward.
• Experience applying mobile and web interface standards such as Android Material Design and Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
• Fluent with Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or equivalent design, prototyping, and research tools.
