Job Description

As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific team youll do meaningful work that makes a positive impact on a global scalehelping our customers make the world healthier cleaner and safer. Our teams tackle complex scientific and technical challenges and we rely on thoughtful modern design to make these systems usable trustworthy and effective.

This role is for a designer who is excited about building with AI not just designing for itand who is motivated by simplifying complex system-driven problems through thoughtful interaction design.

Youll work on agentic features and AI-driven workflows across our products using Figma Make and AI-powered prototyping tools to rapidly explore test and refine how intelligent systems behave. This is a hands-on role with real influence over product directionnot a wireframe-only or handoff-focused position.

If youre comfortable thinking in terms of states logic behaviors and systemsand you enjoy collaborating closely with engineersthis role will stretch you in the right ways.

What Youll Do

• Design and prototype AI-driven and agentic product experiences including workflows where the system reasons recommends and acts.

• Use Figma Make to create interactive prototypes that go beyond screensmodeling behavior transitions and edge cases.

• Partner closely with product managers and engineers to shape features from early concept through implementation.

• Define interaction patterns for complex systems balancing automation transparency and user control.

• Test and iterate on designs using real feedback especially for novel or ambiguous AI behaviors.

• Help establish internal best practices for designing AI-powered experiences.

What Were Looking For

• Typically 5 years of experience designing digital products platforms or workflowsor equivalent experience building and prototyping complex software systems.

• Strong experience with Figma including advanced prototyping and comfort with AI-assisted design workflows.

• Experience designing complex or system-driven products (platforms workflows developer tools automation or AI-adjacent products).

• Ability to think in terms of flows logic and states not just static UI.

• Comfort working closely with engineers and understanding technical constraints.

• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain design decisions with reasoningnot just visuals.

• Genuine curiosity about AI agentic systems and emerging design tools.

• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG) and inclusive design principles with an understanding of how they apply to dynamic and AI-driven interfaces.

Education

• Bachelors degree in Design Engineering Human-Computer Interaction Computer Science or a related fieldor equivalent practical experience.

• We value strong portfolios system-level thinking and hands-on experience with modern design and AI tools over formal credentials alone.

This Role Is Not a Fit If You:

• Prefer only designing static screens or focusing purely on visual polish

• Expect fully defined requirements before starting design

• Prioritize designing for developers over users

• Are uncomfortable experimenting iterating quickly or working in ambiguity

• Have little interest in AI or modern AI-powered design workflows
