What you'll do
- Develop intuitive interaction concepts for complex industrial software applications and optimize flows between information, decisions and actions.
- Analyze how different user groups do their daily tasks and derive efficient, understandable operating flows.
- Design the information structure and navigation so users reach relevant information and functions quickly and intuitively.
- Understand the working reality of machine operators, shift leaders, maintenance staff and production managers and translate it into UX concepts.
- Question existing workflows, identify unnecessary interactions and develop solutions that work under time pressure.
- Develop consistent navigation and interaction patterns across the growing software platform.
- Visualize concepts through user flows, simple wireframes or interactive prototypes and validate them with developers and actual users.
- Work closely with the experienced developer team and ensure usability is built into product development from the start.
What we're looking for
- Several years of professional experience in user experience, interaction design, UX architecture or product design, ideally at least five years.
- Demonstrable experience designing complex B2B software, enterprise applications or data-intensive applications.
- Strong competence in information architecture, navigation design, user journeys, task flows and workflow optimization.
- Ability to analyze and structure complex business processes and translate them into simple, intuitive interaction concepts.
- Experience with user-centered methods such as user research, usability testing, journey mapping and prototyping.
- Understanding of different user groups, their tasks, decision processes and working environments.
- Ability to justify UX decisions with sound reasoning and discuss them independently with product owners and software developers.
- Pragmatic, analytical and self-responsible working style with a clear focus on working solutions rather than elaborate design processes.
- Very good German and English skills.
Nice to have
- Experience with industrial software, MES, ERP or comparable complex specialist applications is an advantage but not a requirement.
Benefits
- You define how users work with the software and shape fundamental interaction and navigation concepts.
- You focus on UX conception and user guidance while the developer team handles technical implementation.
- Concepts can be quickly prototyped, tested and put into production with modern development tools and AI support.
- You gain insights into real production environments and can validate ideas with the people who use the software daily.
- You develop concepts independently and work directly with the founding team.
- About 20 to 30 hours per week with flexible working time arrangements and the option for hybrid work.
- You help shape the user experience of a growing industrial software platform.
