Motion UI/UX Designer (Wearables & IoT)

We are seeking a Motion UI/UX Designer with expertise in wearables and small-screen interfaces to create high-impact motion experiences for IoT and consumer electronics. This role focuses on designing fluid, responsive motion interactions for 1.38-inch resolution screens, considering hardware constraints, haptic feedback, and real-world usability.

As part of the Innovation Team, you will work cross-functionally with product designers, engineers, and stakeholders to develop next-generation consumer technology. The ideal candidate moves fast, iterates quickly, and balances aesthetic excellence with technical feasibility in undefined spaces.

Responsibilities:

• Design motion interactions for small-screen IoT devices.
• Develop rapid prototypes to test and refine interactions in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
• Optimize animations for low-powered devices , considering frame rate, processor limitations, user touch behavior, and embedded hardware constraints.
• Integrate haptic feedback with motion design, ensuring seamless user interactions.
• Ensure usability, accessibility, and brand consistency in motion behaviors.
• Work closely with engineers to implement motion designs efficiently, ensuring smooth integration into embedded systems, hardware constraints, and firmware restrictions.

Requirements:

• Expertise in Motion UI/UX Design for wearables, IoT, or small-screen interfaces .
• Proficiency in After Effects, Principle, Figma, ProtoPie, or similar motion tools .
• Experience designing micro-interactions and motion flows for small form-factor devices .
• Strong understanding of touch-based interactions, spatial UI, and animation optimization .
• Experience designing haptic feedback interactions and multi-sensory UI experiences.
• Ability to work quickly, iterate rapidly, and adapt to evolving product needs .

Soft Skills:

• Creative Problem-Solving: Able to design within technical constraints while maintaining usability.
• Agility & Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.
• Strong Collaboration: Works well with engineers, product teams, and leadership.
• Detail-Oriented: Ensures motion design is pixel perfect and enhances user experience without adding complexity.
• Clear Communication: Able to articulate design rationale and technical considerations.
• Passion for the Cutting Edge: Eager to push the boundaries of motion design for emerging technologies and thrive in ambiguity.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience working with embedded hardware teams to optimize animations.
• Knowledge of 3D motion design, AR/VR, or spatial UI interactions.
• Familiarity with coding motion interactions (CSS, JavaScript, Swift, or equivalent).
