UI-UX designer

About the RoleMeril is developing next-generation surgical robotic systems currently in clinical trials in India and under development for US markets. We are seeking a UI/UX Design Engineer to design intuitive, safe, and high-performance user interfaces for surgeons operating in the Operating Room (OR).This role is critical to ensuring our robotic console interface delivers precision, clarity, and confidence under high-stakes clinical environments. You will collaborate closely with robotics, computer vision, clinical, regulatory, and usability teams to design interfaces that meet global medical device standards.Key Responsibilities1. User Experience Design for Surgical ConsoleDesign intuitive, surgeon-centred workflows for robotic-assisted surgical procedures.Create wireframes, interaction flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI designs for touchscreen-based desktop applications (Qt/C++).Optimize real-time data visualization, alerts, controls, and system feedback for high-pressure OR environments.Ensure usability under sterile, time-sensitive, and cognitively demanding conditions.2. Human Factors & Usability EngineeringApply Human Factors Engineering (HFE) principles to minimize use-related risks.Conduct contextual inquiry, task analysis, usability testing, and validation studies.Contribute to formative and summative usability documentation aligned with:IEC 62304ISO 13485FDA Usability Engineering GuidanceSupport risk analysis related to UI-driven hazards.3. Cross-Functional CollaborationWork closely with:Robotics engineers (control systems & feedback loops)Computer vision teams (image overlays, visualization)Clinical teams (surgeon workflows and feedback)Regulatory and Quality teams (compliance documentation)Usability engineering teams (validation & verification)4. Design System & Interface StandardsDevelop and maintain UI design guidelines specific to surgical robotics.Ensure consistency across modules, tools, and visualization layers.Design for performance, clarity, and safety—not aesthetics alone.Required Qualifications3–5 years of professional experience in UI/UX design.Experience designing for desktop applications (Qt/C++ environments preferred).Strong portfolio demonstrating complex workflow design (medical, industrial, aviation, automotive, or other high-risk systems preferred).Solid understanding of:Human Factors EngineeringUsability testing methodologiesRisk-aware interface designFamiliarity with medical device standards:IEC 62304ISO 13485FDA usability engineering processExperience working in cross-functional engineering teams.Proficiency in tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, or similar.Strong documentation and communication skills.Preferred QualificationsExperience designing for:Surgical systemsRobotics interfacesReal-time control systemsImaging-heavy applicationsExperience in clinical trial support environments.Understanding of OR workflows and sterile field constraints.Exposure to custom robotics platforms.What Makes This Role UniqueDirect impact on surgeon performance and patient outcomes.Opportunity to shape UI standards for next-generation surgical robotics.Work at the intersection of robotics, AI, computer vision, and human-centered design.Involvement in systems being prepared for US regulatory pathways.
