Job Description

The UI/UX Design Intern will work directly with the founding team to translate product features into usable, field-tested interface designs. Your work will be used by engineers in mechanical rooms, on tablets, in the field. 

You will own design from concept to handoff: user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes. You'll partner closely with the CPO and engineering to ensure every screen solves a real user problem.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate product feature briefs into wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups
• Design and iterate on core platform workflows for web and mobile (tablet-first)
• Contribute to the Magellan CX design system — components, tokens, patterns
• Build and deliver interactive HTML/Figma prototypes for stakeholder and user feedback
• Conduct lightweight usability reviews and translate findings into design improvements
• Collaborate with engineering to ensure design intent survives implementation

Qualifications

Required:

• Portfolio demonstrating UI/UX work — web apps, mobile apps, or dashboards (student projects and side projects welcome)
• Strong grasp of layout, visual hierarchy, and interaction design fundamentals
• Comfortable working from a product brief and turning ambiguity into concrete designs
• Proficiency in Figma (components, auto layout, prototyping)
• Enrolled in a design, HCI, CS, or related degree program

Preferred:

• Experience designing data-heavy or workflow-intensive applications (not just consumer UI)
• Familiarity with design systems and token-based design
• Any exposure to construction, industrial, or field-service software (rare, but we'll notice)
• Basic HTML/CSS — enough to understand what you're handing off

Prerequisites for Employment

• Successful background check, including pre-employment drug screening 

• US citizens, permanent residents or any candidate with eligibility to work in the US
