Regulatory and Usability Testing Knowledge

  • Familiarity with Formative and Summative usability testing methodologies.

  • Experience conducting or contributing to User FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) and Known Use Error Reports to identify and mitigate potential user risks.

Design System & Figma Expertise

  • Advanced proficiency in Figma for interface design, prototyping, and collaboration.

  • Ability to work within a structured design system, ensuring design consistency and scalability across products.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in FDA-regulated or IEC 62366 / ISO 14971 environments.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

  • Degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Industrial Design, UX Design, or a related discipline.


Additional Details

  • Duration: 11-month contract, with potential for extension based on project needs.

  • Candidates must have prior experience with hardware-integrated UX design in regulated product environments.
