About the role We’re looking for a

Lead UI / Visual Designer

to own the visual direction and high‑fidelity execution of our digital products. This role is strongly focused on UI and visual design—including layout, typography, color systems, and design consistency across platforms—and is ideal for a designer who thrives in polished, production‑ready interfaces. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and brand partners to translate requirements into pixel‑precise UI designs and scalable design systems.

Ensure brand consistency across product lines, reflecting our visual identity in all digital and physical touchpoints

Conduct design reviews, provide feedback, and mentor team members

Represent the design discipline in cross‑functional strategy discussions, advocating for usability, aesthetics, and brand experience

Benefits / Value To Company

Cohesive experience: By integrating hardware and UI design under one leader, we deliver a unified, seamless brand experience

Consistency and efficiency: A consolidated design approach reduces design debt, speeds up development, and avoids fragmentation

Brand elevation: High‑quality, cohesive design across touchpoints strengthens brand perception and market differentiation

Scalability: As product lines expand, having a lead ensures scalable design systems and processes

Requirements

8+ years of experience in visual design, interaction design, or UI design, with leadership experience

Experience designing for both hardware (embedded UIs) and software (web/mobile) is highly preferred
