UI/UX Engineer for Lab Automation Project The Lab Automation Project at Daiichi Sankyo aims to create user-centered software solutions that optimize laboratory workflows and enhance user interactions. The project focuses on developing intuitive, efficient, and cohesive UI/UX designs to support complex scientific workflows in laboratory automation. As a UI/UX Engineer, you will lead efforts to design, prototype, and validate user interfaces, ensuring that the software meets the unique needs of scientists and lab operators. Your work will be crucial in creating a seamless and user-friendly experience that aligns with Daiichi Sankyo's commitment to advancing life sciences through innovative technology.
User Research:Conduct targeted interviews and surveys with scientists and lab operators to understand their needs, workflows, and pain points.Synthesize findings rapidly to inform design decisions for prioritized features.Focus on high-impact touchpoints within the software to significantly enhance user experience and ensure designs align with overall user needs and project goals.UX Design:Develop low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes for selected key components to facilitate quick feedback cycles.Utilize iterative design approaches to refine prototypes based on user and stakeholder input.Design intuitive user experiences for complex scientific workflows and automation systems.UI Design:Establish a design framework to ensure a cohesive look and feel across the software.Create and document essential UI components for consistent design and functionality, with a focus on reusability.Usability Testing on Key Features:Develop prototypes using preferred design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch) and conduct usability testing sessions to gather immediate feedback.Iterate on designs based on testing results to enhance user experience.Collaboration and Feedback:Work closely with remote engineering teams to ensure designs are implementable within project timelines and technical constraints.Provide clear design specifications and be available for quick clarifications during the development process.Communication:Maintain ongoing communication with the Director of Strategy to ensure alignment on project priorities and timelines.Regularly update stakeholders on design progress, challenges, and solutions.Documentation:Provide clear design specifications, user flows, and guidelines for the development team.Document design decisions, principles, and best practices to ensure scalability and continuity.Minimum Requirements:5+ years of experience in UX/UI design, with a strong preference for a senior-level candidate.Demonstrated experience leading the design of complex technical applications.Experience in life sciences, preferably laboratory automation, with a solid understanding of user needs in this context.Experience building applications from the ground up, including setting design direction, conducting user research, and collaborating with engineers.Proficiency in design prototyping tools, such as Figma or Sketch.Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions, collaborate with remote teams, and engage effectively with diverse user groups, including non-native English speakers.Strong leadership and project management skills, with the ability to work independently and drive the design process forward.
