User Interface Internships Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Adecco is hiring immediately for a UX/UI Design Engineer with a local client in Santa Clara, CA. Pay is $40.00/hr. - $45.00hr.

Duties:

· We’re looking for a contract UX/UI Designer to join our product team for a 1-year engagement.

· You’ll be designing experiences for data-intensive, B2B software products that support complex supply chain operations.

· This role moves fast, expecting short delivery cycles (0→1 in 3–4 weeks), and requires someone who can hit the ground running, work autonomously, and collaborate closely with a senior designer who will guide design direction, while working within a cross-functional environment alongside PMs and engineers.

· As AI design and development tools continue to evolve, this role is an opportunity to grow at the frontier of what modern design practice looks like.

· Own end-to-end UX/UI design for supply chain software products — from initial concept and user flows through to high-fidelity Figma deliverables ready for handoff or user testing.

· Work in rapid, iterative design cycles — delivering polished design output within 3–4 week sprints and incorporating feedback continuously.

· Learn to leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g. Claude Code) to rapidly prototype and build near-production quality applications — embracing this as part of a modern, evolving design workflow.

· Transform dense, complex operational and analytical data into meaningful, user-friendly data visualizations and interface patterns.

· Work closely with a senior designer to understand design requirements and translate them into well-crafted, user-centered design decisions, receiving guidance and mentorship throughout the process while engaging with a broader cross-functional team of PMs and engineers.

· Apply UX research and design methodologies — including usability testing, user interviews, iterative prototyping, and information architecture — throughout the product lifecycle.

· Manage multiple concurrent projects with strong time management, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and new contexts, and contribute to building and maintaining a reusable design system and component library.

· As you grow into the role, deliverables may also include working frontend product: near-production-quality working prototype built with AI tools that are functional, visually polished, and ready for stakeholder demonstration.

Qualifications:

· 2+ years of professional UX/UI design experience; Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. Portfolio is required to be considered.

· Ability to produce and deliver rigorous, well-crafted design work under tight timelines including user-centered design, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and iterative prototyping, and a portfolio that clearly demonstrates how design thinking drives real product outcomes.

· Demonstrated ability to design data visualizations that make complex operational data clear and actionable for business users.

· Proficiency in Figma for design, prototyping, and component library management.

· Willingness and demonstrated aptitude to learn and explore AI-assisted development tools as part of an evolving design workflow.

· Ability to quickly absorb design requirements and context provided by a senior designer, and proactively drive them forward with a strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and design quality.

· Collaborative, flexible, and self-directed — able to work across multiple projects simultaneously and adapt quickly to new product contexts.

· Candidate must be available for a minimum 6-month contract, with openness to a full 1-year term preferred.

· Minimum 2 years of professional UX/UI design experience preferred. New graduates with relevant internship experience may be considered if they demonstrate a strong portfolio.

· Some background in B2B or enterprise product design. Candidates with only consumer apps, marketing sites, or branding work should not progress.

· Candidate must be proficient in Figma or an equivalent professional design tool (e.g. Sketch, Adobe XD).
