UX/UI Designer – Interaction Architecture & Experience Patterns m/f/d

Job Description

At Agilent, we design solutions that help scientists solve some of the world’s most important challenges. From advancing life-changing therapies to ensuring the quality and safety of the world around us, Agilent technologies contribute to a better quality of life.

As part of our global UX team, you will help transform the laboratories that transform the world. You will shape how users navigate, search, monitor, configure, and interact with an increasingly connected ecosystem of laboratory software.

This is a hands-on UX design role with a strong focus on interaction architecture and reusable experience patterns. You will define how common capabilities such as navigation, search, dashboards, tables, filtering, notifications, and settings should work consistently across a software platform and its connected applications. Your work will bridge product and platform needs, turning complex requirements into understandable and scalable user experiences.

Located at our Waldbronn site near Karlsruhe, the Usability and Design Center works with Product Management, Product Owners, Software Developers, architects, scientists, and other experts across Agilent sites worldwide.

Responsibilities

- Partner with Product Management, Product Owners, software teams, architects, and UX colleagues to understand user needs, workflows, business goals, technical constraints, and product requirements across multiple projects
- Define and evolve the interaction architecture and scalable UX patterns for shared capabilities such as navigation, search, dashboards, tables, filtering, notifications, settings, and onboarding, establishing UX governance and consistency across the software ecosystem
- Translate complex user, platform, and technical requirements into clear interaction models, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and implementation-ready UX specifications
- Establish consistent behavior across different applications while allowing products to address their specific workflows and user needs
- Explore, evaluate, and validate alternative interaction models with users and stakeholders, turning findings into informed design decisions
- Collaborate with product-line UX designers and the design system team to identify, validate, and translate scalable experience patterns into reusable components, guidelines, and specifications
- Work with cross-functional teams from early definition through implementation, reviewing concepts for consistency and reuse and helping establish platform experience principles and UX governance
