UX/UI Designer - Co-op

Zaber is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive UX/UI Co-op to migrate our design system from Adobe XD to Figma. You’ll also have the opportunity to design a feature for our customer-facing software and see it through with a real product team.

You’ll join our responsive and supportive software team, which builds the applications our customers use to control robotics and motion control devices. You’ll work closely with our UX/UI designer, who will mentor you and guide your work, and alongside the developers who turn designs into shipped software. It’s a caring and collaborative team where the culture is to speak freely, and where design is part of the conversation from the start. You’ll also get to see how software, electronics, and firmware come together in a real product. 

Zaber makes cutting-edge, precision robotics for industry-leading customers across a range of sectors, including photonics, biotechnology, and industrial automation. Through your work on our design system and software, you’ll help make specialized, complex tasks easier for the scientists and engineers who use our products every day.
