UX Designer (Glass)
San Francisco Bay Area, US - Information Services, Internet
Design and user experience (UX) are at the forefront of everything we do. The job of a UX Designer is to envision how people experience our products and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined and even magical. In an Interaction Designer role, you’ll tackle complex tasks and transform them into intuitive, accessible and easy-to-use designs for billions of people around the world—from the first-time user to the sophisticated expert. Achieving this goal requires collaboration with teams of Designers, Researchers, Engineers and Product Managers throughout the design process—from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mockups and prototypes. At each stage, you will anticipate what our users need, advocate for them and ensure that the final product surprises and delights them.

As a UX Designer, you will design components of the Glass user experience. You will work alongside other Designers in UX and Industrial Design, Engineering and Marketing teams to build interaction models, conduct user research and develop creative solutions to challenging UX problems in Google Glass. You are a self-driven and well rounded design professional with a keen understanding of consumer products, and a passion for defining the next generation of wearable computing.
