Senior UI Designer

About the role

The UI Designer plays a crucial role in defining and delivering intuitive, visually compelling user experiences for an implantable medical device platform and its connected-care ecosystem. This role combines strong visual design skills with user-centered product design, translating clinical workflows and user needs into elegant interfaces, rapid prototypes, and validated experiences across multiple concurrent products.

Responsibilities

• Own the strategic evolution of LivaNova’s multi-brand Design System, driving continuous improvements to components, tokens, and documentation, ensuring the system scales to meet the needs of multiple concurrent products and cross-functional teams across the organization.
• Resolve complex, cross-functional design issues spanning multiple products, teams, and technical constraints, serving as the senior escalation point for high-complexity UI problems.
• Define and scale UI operations, establishing team best practices, design processes, and workflows that elevate UI maturity across the organization and ensure consistent, repeatable delivery, and alignment at scale.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineering, human factors, regulatory, legal, security, and marketing to align on safety, usability, and go-to-market needs.
• Elevate UI best practices and methodologies by defining, documenting, and sharing standardized design processes, templates, and governance to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.

Specific Responsibilities

• Define information architecture: establish navigation, content hierarchy, and data flows for device and companion applications.
• Produce high-fidelity UI designs: deliver pixel-perfect screens, visual assets, and motion cues that reflect brand and clinical needs.
• Create interactive prototypes: create clickable prototypes for concept validation, stakeholder reviews, and engineering alignment.
• Deliver production-ready specs: provide annotated designs, component specs, and developer handoff artifacts (tokens, assets, logic rules/states, and guidelines).
• Maintain and evolve the design system: create reusable components, documentation, and versioning to ensure portfolio consistency.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience as a Product UI Designer with at least 3 recent years of experience within the medical device industry.
• Strong verbal and written communication and proven cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Highly motivated self-starter who proactively drives outcomes, negotiates trade-offs, and works independently when needed.
• Excellent teamwork, partnering, and negotiation abilities to align stakeholders and move projects forward.
• Experience applying mobile and web interface standards such as Android Material Design and Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
• Fluent with Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or equivalent design, prototyping, and research tools.
• Design systems experience: creating, maintaining, and scaling component libraries and documented patterns for multi-product consistency.
