UI/UX Designer - Digital Twin & Factory Interfaces x2 - User Interface & Digital Twin Design


Core Responsibilities:

  • Design and refine digital twin interfaces
  • Create intuitive dashboards and visualisations for our factory digital twin. This includes 2D data views and status dashboards (and 3D equipment views, if applicable) used on desktop and large displays in control rooms.
  • Improve existing factory and automation tools
  • Audit and optimise current user interfaces for clarity, navigation and task flow, with a focus on reducing errors and cognitive load for operators.
  • Understand users in a factory environment
  • Work directly with engineers, operators and managers. When possible, visit the factory floor to observe real workflows and constraints such as PPE, lighting, noise and time pressure, and use these insights to inform design decisions.
  • Prototype and validate designs
  • Use tools such as Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD to produce wireframes, high fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes. Plan and run usability tests or pilot sessions, then iterate based on findings.
  • Shape and apply a unified design language
  • Contribute to a shared design system for our industrial tools. Ensure consistent layouts, typography, colour usage and interaction patterns across multiple applications.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers and product
  • Work with software and HMI engineers, as well as product managers, to understand technical constraints and data flows. Communicate design rationale clearly and support implementation through specifications and regular design reviews.


Must Have Skills:

  • Complex, data heavy interfaces
  • Proven experience as a UI/UX designer, with a portfolio that includes dashboards, monitoring tools or other complex, data intensive applications.
  • Visual and interaction design
  • Strong skills in layout, hierarchy, typography and colour systems, and in defining interaction patterns that support real operational workflows.
  • Design and prototyping tools
  • Proficiency with modern design tools such as Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD, including wireframes, high fidelity designs and interactive prototypes.
  • User research and usability testing
  • Solid grasp of user centred design. Experience conducting user interviews or observations, planning and running usability tests, and translating insights into improved designs.
  • Communication and collaboration
  • Ability to explain design decisions to engineers, product managers and non design stakeholders. Comfortable working in cross functional teams and incorporating feedback while maintaining clarity and coherence in the design.
  • Accessibility and industrial usability awareness
  • Awareness of accessibility basics such as colour contrast and legibility, and sensitivity to factory realities such as glare, noise, PPE and time pressure.


Good to Have Skills:

  • Industrial or real time systems experience
  • Familiarity with interfaces such as factory control dashboards, Human-Machine Interface screens, or digital twin visualisations used to monitor live operations.
  • Understanding of implementation constraints
  • Basic knowledge of front end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and or HMI development platforms, enough to discuss feasibility and performance trade offs with engineers. This knowledge is used for collaboration, not full time development work.
  • Design system experience
  • Experience creating, extending or maintaining a design system or style guide across multiple applications and teams.
  • Data visualisation
  • Experience designing charts, status indicators and alarm states that make complex data easy to scan and interpret quickly.

Location, Availability & Onboarding

  • Location: Primary sites are Singapore WDL3. (Must be Singaporean / Singapore PR)
  • Onsite presence is expected for roles interfacing with shop‑floor systems.
  • Target start: January 2026 onboarding where possible.
