*Native/Bilingual English is required for this role (read/written/spoken)

Please upload your CV Resume in English.

Monthly salary: $1,000 - $1,500 USD

Along with our partner, we are seeking a UX/UI Designer for a short-term contract (5–6 weeks at a part-time capacity) to support the design and evolution of a touch-first iPad application used by laboratory scientists to control equipment and analyze data in real time. The product is designed for non-expert users in lab environments and prioritizes speed, clarity, and reproducibility over visual complexity.

This engagement has two primary goals: defining UX for new feature development and supporting the adoption of updated iOS design guidelines.

Scope of Work:

New Feature Wireframes

You will define wireframes and UX flows for new features prior to development, ensuring alignment between product and engineering teams. These include:

• A new navigation hub for multiple software modules, including clear handling of licensed vs. unlicensed states
• A time-series data acquisition feature with configuration, live feedback, and playback for multi-dimensional datasets
• Two new image analysis modules with consistent flows for launch, controls, results visualization, and save/discard actions
• Enhancements to an existing analysis module to support additional configurations
• A data export feature supporting multiple formats and destinations with error handling

iOS Design System Adoption

• Review existing screens against updated iOS Human Interface Guidelines
• Identify required updates for custom controls such as overlays, sliders, selectors, and timelines
• Propose adaptations to align with new system design patterns while maintaining a professional, lab-focused interface
• Ensure new designs are aligned with updated platform standards from the start

Expected Deliverables:

• Annotated low- to mid-fidelity wireframes for all new feature flows, approved by the product
• Design assessment and recommendations for updated iOS design system adoption
• Final design files delivered in a format usable by the iOS development team

Required Skills:

• 3+ years of experience as a UI/UX designer with robust experience designing for iPad applications.
• Apple Platform Mastery: Deep familiarity with Apple HIG specifically for iPad, including expert use of split views, sidebars, popovers, and touch-target optimization.
• iOS 26 Familiarity: Working knowledge of the Liquid Glass design system, including navigation bars, sheets, and modal presentations under the new paradigm.
• Wireframing & Tools: Senior-level experience in producing annotated, implementation-ready wireframes using tools such as Figma or Sketch.
• Scientific UI Experience: Experience designing interfaces where data precision and reproducibility are prioritized; prior work with medical, clinical, or industrial apps is a strong plus.

Team Fit & Work Style:

• Ability to work from written requirements without dedicated UX research support
• Self-directed and comfortable working in small teams
• Comfortable working within established design systems rather than creating new visual languages
• Strong English communication skills, both written and spoken
• Experience working in distributed remote teams and async environments

Nice to Have:

• Experience in laboratory, life sciences, or medical software
• Experience working with design systems within the Apple ecosystem

Engagement: Short-term contract, 5–6 weeks at a part-time capacity (80 hours per month) with PST work hours overlap.

Timeline: Project kick-off scheduled for early May

*Please note our partner is only looking for part-time dedicated team members who are eager to integrate within their team
