Role : UX Designer

Number of positions : 1

Description:

At Airbus, we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and quality across our value chain. Our team is composed of technologists and business leaders dedicated to innovation and excellence.

We are seeking a visionary, highly skilled, and innovative UX Designer (4-8 Years) to join our high-impact Team. In this role, you will lead the user experience and visual design strategy for cutting-edge digital platforms, AI-driven tools, and complex enterprise software. You will turn ambiguous, high-tech concepts into elegant, intuitive, and high-performing digital products.

Qualification & Experience:

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Visual Communication, Industrial Design, Computer Science, or a related field. (Specialized degree or academic background in UX Design is a strong plus)

Required Certification: Must hold at least one recognized professional UI/UX design certification (e.g., NN/g UX Master / Certified, Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF), Google UX Design Professional Certificate, or HCI Certification).

Experience:4 to 8 years of hands-on experience in end-to-end product design, UX research, interaction design, and complex enterprise or AI tool interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Product Design: Lead the complete design lifecycle-from generative research, user journey mapping, and wireframing to high-fidelity UI design, prototyping, and design system maintenance.

Lab Innovation & AI Interface Design: Design ground-breaking, intuitive user experiences tailored for AI/ML and Computer Vision workflows (e.g., visual data annotation platforms, spatial AI dashboards, real-time diagnostic interfaces).

User Research & Usability Testing: Conduct qualitative and quantitative user research, contextual inquiries, and usability tests with domain experts, engineers, and end-users to validate complex workflows.

Design Systems & Scalability: Define, govern, and scale comprehensive design systems and component libraries to ensure visual and functional consistency across all lab applications.

Rapid Prototyping: Create interactive, high-fidelity prototypes (using Figma, Protopie, etc.) to communicate micro-interactions, motion design, and complex data visualizations to stakeholders and developers.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, Machine Learning Engineers, and Full-Stack Developers to ensure design feasibility, technical alignment, and seamless execution.

Advocacy & Mentorship: Drive a human-centered design culture across the lab, mentoring junior team members and advocating for best accessibility (WCAG) and UX standards.

Technical Essentials

• Design & Prototyping Tools: Expertise in modern design suites (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and advanced prototyping tools (Principle, ProtoPie, Framer).

• UX Research & Testing: Proven ability to run end-to-end UX research using tools like Maze, UserTesting, Hotjar, or contextual interviews.

• Design Systems: Demonstrated capability in building and maintaining tokenized, accessible design systems at scale.

• Information Architecture & Interaction: Deep knowledge of information architecture, wireframing, micro-interactions, and visual hierarchy for data-dense applications.

• Technical & Frontend Literacy: Working understanding of web technologies (HTML5, CSS/Tailwind, component-based frameworks like React/Vue) to ensure design feasibility during developer handoff.

• Accessibility Standards: Mastery of inclusive design principles and WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility compliance.

Soft Skills & Behavioral Attributes

• Strategic Product Mindset: Ability to balance complex technological capabilities (AI/ML) with actual user needs and business goals.

• Innovative & Creative Problem-Solver: Thrives in an ambiguous, lab-oriented environment where novel user experience paradigms must be invented from scratch.

• High Empathy & User Advocacy: Deep passion for understanding complex user workflows and translating technical pain points into frictionless digital experiences.

• Articulate Communication: Strong storytelling and presentation skills to justify design decisions to senior executive leadership and technical teams.

Nice-to-Have / Added Advantages

• Prior experience designing interfaces for AI/ML tools, Computer Vision datasets, spatial computing, or industrial/aerospace software.

• Knowledge of quantitative analytics tools (Amplitude, Mixpanel) to drive data-informed design iterations.

• An active online portfolio demonstrating end-to-end UX problem solving, design systems, and product innovation case studies.

Success Metrics

• User Experience & Satisfaction: High System Usability Scale (SUS) scores and positive user adoption metrics across lab-launched platforms.

• Design Quality & Consistency: Timely delivery of scalable, accessible, and high-fidelity design artifacts backed by well-maintained design systems.

• Innovation & Impact: Successful introduction of novel UI patterns and AI interaction models that simplify complex engineering processes.

• Collaboration Efficiency: Seamless developer handoff, low rework rates, and strong cross-functional alignment throughout the product delivery cycle.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
