Product Designer, Sirona Medical

• Curiosity: the most important trait we look for. You ask why, dig into how people actually work, and enjoy learning a complex domain
• Strong Figma skills: we expect proficiency even at the entry level, since Figma is our primary design tool. That includes components, auto layout, and prototyping
• Comfort with AI tools: you're comfortable using tools like Claude to help build prototypes
• Collaboration: you work well with others, ask for input early, and value feedback, giving it back thoughtfully
• Design rationale: you can explain the reasoning behind your design decisions, in conversation and in writing
• User research: some familiarity with research methods to help drive the discovery phase. We'll provide plenty of support here
• Solid grounding in UX fundamentals: user flows, information architecture, interaction design, usability, and accessibility

Desirable

• We're growing our design team and looking for an early-career Product Designer who believes that a deep understanding of users is the foundation of good design
• You'll join a small, senior team and learn the craft of designing for complex, high-stakes software, with real ownership from early on
• This role reports to the Director of Product
• Our preference is for candidates based in Burlington, VT or the San Francisco Bay Area so they can work in a hybrid model, splitting time between the Sirona office and their home office
• Radiologists repeat the same workflows hundreds of times a day, so small improvements compound across a shift
• You'll spend most of your time exploring problems, sketching, prototyping, and testing alongside clinicians, researchers, engineers, and product managers who are at the top of their fields
• You'll start with well-scoped problems, paired with a senior designer, and take on larger pieces of core workflows as you ramp
• No radiology background is needed. We'll invest in getting you up to speed clinically, and we care more about curiosity and design fundamentals than a long resume
• Speak for the user, bringing context and detail from research and observation into product decisions
• Work with product management, engineering, and clinical colleagues to define, prototype, test, and refine solutions
• Sketch, wireframe, and prototype at low and high fidelity in Figma, moving quickly from idea to something testable
• Use AI tools like Claude to speed up exploration and build working prototypes, then test them with clinicians and refine them with your own judgment
• Take part in user research and usability sessions, and turn what you learn into design changes
• Work through information architecture, interface, and interaction patterns for dense, desktop-first workflows
• Hand off cleanly to engineering with organized, annotated, well-documented designs
• Review shipped work (design QA) to confirm it matches the intent
• Contribute components and documentation to Sirona's in-house design system
• Give and receive feedback in regular design critiques, and explain the reasoning behind your decisions
