Are you passionate about designing intuitive, high-quality software experiences that make a meaningful impact? Join Stryker's Mako Robotics team and help shape the user interfaces that support robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery.
As a Staff level User Interface and Experience Designer, you'll play a key role in developing the software experiences used in Mako's hip replacement applications. You'll combine strong visual and interaction design expertise with hands-on technical execution, translating complex workflows into intuitive interfaces and detailed, production-ready design specifications.
This is an opportunity to contribute to both current and next-generation Mako technologies. You'll help deliver critical UI designs for existing applications while collaborating across engineering, product development, and design teams to influence the future of robotic-assisted surgery.
You'll join a collaborative, geographically distributed team that values creativity, attention to detail, technical excellence, and the ability to take ownership of your work.
What You Will Do
User Interface Design & Development
- Design and develop intuitive, visually consistent software interfaces for Mako robotic-assisted surgery applications, with an initial focus on Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).
- Create high-fidelity interface designs, screen layouts, interactive prototypes, and reusable UI components using Figma and established design systems.
- Translate complex clinical workflows, product requirements, and user needs into clear, functional, and accessible software experiences.
- Apply visual and interaction design principles, including typography, color, layout, navigation, messaging, component states, and user feedback.
- Develop detailed, production-ready UI specifications that accurately communicate design intent to software development teams.
- Create and manage design assets, component libraries, naming conventions, documentation, and version-controlled design deliverables.
User Experience & Product Development
- Contribute to the development of next-generation Mako applications through workflow analysis, concept exploration, prototyping, and iterative design.
- Collaborate with UX researchers, product owners, and cross-functional teams to incorporate user feedback, clinical insights, and usability considerations into design solutions.
- Support design reviews, usability evaluations, and voice-of-customer activities to refine interfaces and improve the overall user experience.
- Balance user needs, technical feasibility, design consistency, and product requirements throughout the development process.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Design Ownership
- Partner closely with software engineers, scrum teams, product owners, systems engineers, and other designers to support successful implementation of UI designs.
- Collaborate with design teams across Mako's hip, knee, and shoulder applications to maintain consistency within shared software platforms and design systems.
- Independently manage assigned design activities, proactively resolve challenges, and drive deliverables from concept through implementation.
- Communicate design decisions, technical specifications, and recommendations clearly to cross-functional stakeholders.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, documentation standards, tools, and team practices.
- Support applicable medical device design controls, usability, and quality requirements throughout product development.
What You Will Need
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in User Interface Design, User Experience Design, Interaction Design, Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience is required.
- 4 or more years of professional experience in UI/UX design, software product design, interaction design, or a closely related field is required.
- Proficiency with Figma, including experience working with shared design systems, component libraries, and high-fidelity interface designs is required.
- Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop is required.
Preferred Qualifications (You do not need to all of these)
- Experience designing software interfaces, creating interactive prototypes, and applying established visual and interaction design principles.
- A portfolio or representative work samples demonstrating relevant user interface design capabilities.
- Experience developing detailed UI specifications, design documentation, component definitions, and production-ready assets for software development teams.
- Strong visual design, graphic design, and illustration skills, including creating instructional graphics, icons, and informational illustrations.
- Experience with complex software applications, technical systems, or products requiring highly detailed and consistent user interfaces.
- Experience with 3D modeling or rendering tools such as KeyShot, SolidWorks, or similar applications.
- Experience designing software for medical devices, surgical systems, robotics, or other regulated or safety-critical industries.
- Familiarity with usability engineering, accessibility principles, human factors, and user-centered design methodologies.
- Experience collaborating with software development teams in Agile or Scrum environments.
- Understanding of software development practices and how UI designs are translated into functional applications.
- Experience collaborating across distributed teams and working independently within a matrixed organization.
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, proactive communication, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
