Senior UX​/UI Designer

MMR is a well‑funded company with long‑term investors and a strong financial foundation. Our talented hardware and software team has successfully developed a fully functional prototype of our medical robotic platform, which has already undergone successful animal trials. With the prototype validated, we are now entering the next phase: maturing the architecture for production and scaling, ensuring safety, usability, reliability, manufacturability, and regulatory readiness as we prepare to bring our technology to hospitals worldwide.

We are looking for a UX/UI designer to join our growing engineering team in central London. In this role, you will hold a senior position and be a driving force with leadership for UX/UI design within our design and usability function.

• Responsibility for UX/UI Design of our robotic platform, inc. supporting the definition of processes and ways of working, strategy, and planning.
• Championing a user‑centered‑design process in a multidisciplinary R&D team, using an understanding of our end‑users and user needs to ensure we design the right product.
• Actively supporting and steering user research activities / usability evaluations to inform the design of our products, including identifying research needs and questions, and supporting the delivery of research in terms of study plans, moderation, and reporting.
• Confidently communicating best practice, design concepts, and design rationale to the R&D team and wider business stakeholders for alignment on short and longer‑term design.
• Curating and managing product design systems, aligned with relevant design guidance and usability considerations, and backed by strong design rationale.
• Distilling complex user interactions to deliver high‑fidelity wireframes, visual designs, workflows and detailed written specifications to developers as part of an agile process.
• Proactively estimating design task effort then owning design efforts from ‘concept’ to ‘ready for development’, ensuring delivery in a timely manner accounting for potential roadblocks.
