- Proven ability to design within regulated frameworks (FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 62366).
- Strong proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, auto-layout, prototyping, and developer handoff.
- Demonstrated portfolio showcasing data-driven interfaces, clinical tools, or device UIs.
- Understanding of human factors engineering, usability validation, and risk-based design documentation.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience designing for embedded systems, touchscreens, or connected IoMT applications.
- Familiarity with front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) to support developer collaboration.
- Working knowledge of ISO 14971 (Risk Management) and IEC 60601-1-6 (Usability Engineering).
