Workplace: remote
High blood pressure is the world's most common disease, causing 18M deaths each year. At Hilo by Aktiia, we're building a world where no lives are lost to its effects — with technology that helps people take control of their health.
We're a venture-backed scale-up with $96M raised from investors in Europe and the US. Rooted in 18 years of research at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), our device is the world's only medically accurate, cuffless, continuous blood pressure monitor for daily use — clinically validated and CE Marked as a Class IIa medical device, now available in 12 countries. In July, we launched in the US.
We're a remote-first company headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, united by our passion for impact and innovation. Applicants must already hold a valid visa or work permit for their country of residence, as Hilo is not able to provide visa sponsorship.
UX is our number one priority, and we need a design leader who consistently turns design into business outcomes. As Lead Product Designer, you set the quality bar for our app, own our design system and drive our biggest product bets from first idea to shipped result. You are hands-on: you prototype, you craft, you ship.
You will report directly to our Head of Design and work with product and engineering every day. You will be the design partner who keeps the whole product consistent and high quality, together with our Lead UX Writer and a Senior Product Designer.
You will have real ownership on a health product people use every day, in a business-critical, high-visibility role where UX is our top priority. You join a team with high talent density, people who raise your game, and a shared focus on speed, clarity and craft.
Location: Fully remote, open to candidates across the UK and Europe.
At Hilo by Aktiia, our values guide everything we do:
Move the Needle — You focus on what drives real impact. You understand that a great product experience is fundamental to good decision-making and growth, and you take accountability for the quality and outcomes of your work, from first idea through to shipped result.
Move Fast, Learn, Refine — You work with urgency and purpose, balancing speed with craft. You continuously improve the way Design operates, experiment with better tools and processes, including AI, and solve root causes rather than accepting repetitive manual work.
Team First — You collaborate effectively with colleagues, engineers, product managers and stakeholders across countries and functions. You build trust by being reliable, clear and constructive, while maintaining high standards for quality and consistency.
If you are passionate about making a meaningful impact in people's lives and excel in an environment where individuals take ownership and are committed to delivering results, we are happy to receive your application.

Cuffless wristband for continuous BP
Hilo By Aktiia creates medical wearables that measure blood pressure continuously without a cuff. Its Hilo Band is a wrist-worn device that provides automated 24/7 blood pressure monitoring and has both CE marking as a Class IIa medical device and FDA 510(k) clearance for over‑the‑counter use. The product works by gathering data from onboard sensors and applying algorithms to estimate blood pressure over time, allowing users to track BP at home without manual cuff inflations. Compared with others in the space, Hilo emphasizes cuffless, continuous monitoring designed for everyday wear and has obtained regulatory clearances that support broad consumer access. The company’s goal is to expand globally and broaden product development, moving from Aktiia to Hilo to reflect its international ambitions and scale its reach in digital health and consumer medical devices.
