Senior Product Designer - HMI

Company Description At the preseason tryouts for the U.S. Boomerang Team in Greenfield, Mass., one figure stands out among the hacky sack players and pizza delivery guys gathering in the soccer fields, limbering up their throwing arms. Eric Darnell, a soft-spoken 62-year-old Quaker and backyard inventor from South Stafford, Vt., has brought 60 of his latest handmade boomerang prototypes, along with several notebooks, two windsocks and printouts of weather forecasts. While others just hurl their rangs -- as aficionados call them -- Darnell tries to be as meticulous and scientific as possible about the objects he refers to as "my kinetic sculptures."Job DescriptionWhat you'll do:Uncover what our customers are thinking and turn those insights into the best-in-class user experienceLead concept ideation and iteration with sketching, wireframe development, and prototypesDesign elegant solutions to complex workflowsCollaborate with product management and executives to prioritize the product roadmapCommunicate scenarios, end-to-end experiences, interaction models, and screen designs to stakeholdersCollaborate with visual designers to maintain design consistency and coherence across the product as appropriate, collaborate with a product focused User Researcher to aid in the conduct generative and evaluative research as neededWork on features and products through their entire lifecycle: user research, competitive analysis, product definition, usability testing, launch, and beyondIntegrate UX research and design into our agile development processQualifications• BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field, MS preferred• 4+ years experience, consumer electronics product development• Experience with high volume, highly cosmetic electronics enclosure materials and manufacturing processes• Experience integrating electromechanical component modules (audio, display, battery, antenna, PCB's, etc.)• Strong 3D CAD skills (ProE preferred) including top-down design, robust parametric modelling, and advanced surface generation• Product validation experience (UL, FCC, environmental testing, etc.)• Hands-on experience with shop tools and prototyping• Demonstrated project leadership and mentoring skillsAdditional InformationAll your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
