We're Hiring: UI/UX Designer (Medical Innovation) – Digital Products & VR Experiences

Location: Dubai

About the Role:

To design intuitive, safe, and clinically usable digital experiences for a medical innovation center: primarily across web and mobile products, and secondarily across VR-based training, simulation, and patient/clinician experiences. The role combines strong UI/UX craft with human-centered research, rapid prototyping, and close collaboration with clinical, engineering, and product teams to deliver products that improve healthcare workflows, learning outcomes, and patient engagement.

Key Responsibilities:

UI/UX Design (Primary Focus)

• Lead end-to-end UX design for healthcare tools across clinicians, researchers, trainees, and patients.
• Simplify complex clinical workflows into intuitive user journeys (flows, wireframes, IA).
• Design consistent, high-quality UI aligned with a design system.
• Deliver production-ready designs with clear developer handoffs.

Human-Centered Discovery & Usability Testing

• Plan and conduct research (interviews, shadowing, workshops, prototype testing).
• Run usability tests to improve safety, efficiency, and error reduction.
• Develop personas, journey maps, and maintain research insights.

Clinical Safety, Accessibility & Responsible Design

• Design for safety by minimizing cognitive load and preventing errors.
• Apply accessibility (WCAG) and inclusive design standards.
• Craft clear microcopy, onboarding, error states, and AI explain ability patterns.

XR Experiences Design & Prototyping (Secondary Focus)

• Support VR training design (interaction models, spatial UI, comfort).
• Create VR prototypes/storyboards and collaborate on implementation and user evaluation.
• Ensure alignment with learning objectives and clinical realism.

Design Systems & Standardization

• Build and maintain design systems and clinical workflow components.
• Establish UX guidelines for regulated and safety-sensitive environments.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Delivery

• Collaborate with product, clinical, research, and engineering teams to define scope and MVPs.
• Participate in agile processes and ensure design quality through development and QA.
• Document design rationale, usability findings, and adoption insights.

Innovation, Storytelling & Stakeholder Communication

• Develop compelling prototypes and narratives for stakeholders and demos.
• Contribute to product vision and roadmap through research-driven recommendations.

Qualification Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in UX/UI Design, HCI, Interaction Design, Industrial Design, Computer Science (with design focus), or related.
• Master's degree in HCI, Design Research, Digital Health, or related.
• Professional certification in UX research, accessibility (WCAG), service design, or VR interaction design is preferred.

Experience Requirements:

• 10 years of UI/UX design experience delivering production end-to-end.
• 5+ years of Healthcare, life sciences, regulated products, or safety-critical workflows experience.

Knowledge and Skills Required:

• Expert UI/UX craft: information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and component-based design systems.
• UX research skills: interview planning, synthesis, usability testing, journey mapping, and translating insights into decisions.
• Prototyping: Figma (advanced), interactive prototypes; bonus: ProtoPie/Framer.
• Accessibility and inclusive design principles; ability to design for diverse users and constrained clinical contexts.
