Description:
Responsibilities:
- Build and iterate interactive, multi-device prototypes that connect in-store screens, mobile devices, and backend data in a lab environment.
- Integrate front-end software with hardware, sensors, and displays to bring physical-digital retail concepts to life.
- Collaborate daily with UX Designers and a PM to translate concepts into working prototypes and assess technical feasibility.
- Set up, troubleshoot, and operate prototypes on-site before and during user testing sessions.
- Administer or support usability studies, guiding participants through tasks and capturing insights for iteration.
- Use GenAI tools to accelerate prototyping, data setup, testing workflows, and analysis.
- Maintain prototype quality, documentation, and demos to support ongoing experimentation and stakeholder reviews.
Basic qualifications:
- Available online portfolio
- Experience developing visually polished, engaging, multi-user UX prototypes
- Coding samples in front end programming languages
- Deep knowledge of mobile prototyping using HTML/CSS/JS and Swift for iOS
- 3+ years of front-end technologist, engineer, or UX prototyping experience
- Experience using GenAI tools like Claude Code, Cline, Codex or similar
- Experience collaborating with UX, Product, and technical partners
Preferred experience:
- Background in physical (real-world) and digital hybrid interaction design
- Strong understanding of software architecture and system design
- Proficiency with real-time prototyping frameworks
- Experience prototyping with Client sensing and display technologies
- Degree specializing in Human Computer
Top three required technical skills:
- Front-end prototyping and engineering (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Mobile Tech iOS/Swift)
- Hardware and physical-digital intergration (sensors, displays, NFC)
- Multi-device, real-time prototype development.
Skills:
- Hands-on builder, comfortable with hardware (connecting screens, mobile phones, sensors, backend data).
- Familiarity replicating physical retail environments in a lab setting.
- Strong problem-solver, high autonomy, self-motivated.
- Comfort in a lab environment.
- User research background helpful (may administer usability studies).
- Front-end prototyping expertise.
- Physical-digital interaction, multi-device, real-time prototyping skills.
- Computer-human interaction background.
Nice to Have Skills:
- Experience working with prototypes in an innovation lab.
- Openness to using Gen AI tools (not a requirement, but a bonus).
