Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Epia Neuro is a neural technology company focused on developing systems to restore function for individuals with neurological conditions. They are seeking a contract UX Designer to lead the design of clinician and patient-facing software applications, translating clinical workflows and patient needs into user-friendly designs.
Responsibilities
- Partner with the medical science team (and clinicians and patients where available) to capture clinical workflows, patient journeys, intended use environments, and use-related needs for both clinician and patient software applications
- Document the users, use environments, and core tasks that anchor downstream human factors work
- Collaborate with the team to identify use errors and hazard-related use scenarios, providing inputs to use-related risk analysis
- Define workflows and structure for the clinician software application (e.g., configuration, session management, progress monitoring) and the patient software application (e.g., therapy feedback, device status, home-based guidance, safety alerts)
- Produce low-to-mid fidelity wireframes and interaction patterns for key workflows, sufficient to drive product requirements without locking high-fidelity visual design
- Document decisions and supporting research so the work feeds product requirements and the design history file, and survives handoff rather than living as tribal knowledge
Skills
- Experience in regulated medical device, digital health, or healthcare UX
- Experience designing clinician- and/or patient-facing software, with an understanding of clinical workflows and constraints
- Ability to translate input from medical and scientific stakeholders into clear user needs and design artifacts
- Strong UX fundamentals, including user research, task analysis, workflow mapping, information architecture, and wireframing (Figma or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience applying IEC 62366-1 and FDA human factors guidance to software applications used in regulated medical devices
- Experience producing regulated, audit-ready design documentation
- Neurotechnology, BCI, neuro-rehabilitation, or active/implantable device experience
- Patient-facing Android app design, or home-use medical device UX
- Safety-critical alerting and notification design
- Data or signal visualization (physiological or time-series data)
- Accessibility (WCAG) for clinical and patient populations
- Prior experience handing design off to an in-house engineering team
