Key job responsibilities

The UX team seeks a UX Co-op who is passionate about applying user-centered methods to real world product development. Qualified candidates are passionate about implementing design thinking and user-centered methods as an integrated part of an interdisciplinary product team. A successful candidate is curious and driven, with a proclivity to show designs, diagrams, and visual representations of both problems and solutions as they work toward understanding both the problem and the solution.

About the team

The UX team is involved with all user-facing products and systems developed at AR. These range from dashboards and monitoring displays that keep operations managers informed, to command panels that enable interaction with and diagnostics of manipulation arms for maintenance engineers, to workstations that empower associates to perform their duties in a safe, ergonomic, intuitive, and rewarding manner, to the handheld devices that alert associates to the tasks that most need their attention. We develop design artifacts to represent these user needs, design systems to empower scalable and usable interface development, and validation strategies to ensure AR products measurably improve user performance and experience.
