Job Description

As part of the Usability & Design department, you will work closely with UX Designers and GUI Engineers on the structure, interaction, and visual design of our products. You will contribute to our design system and support the team in making design work more consistent, scalable, and ready for new use cases.

Your Tasks Will Include

• Contribute to the design, documentation, and maintenance of our design system
• Help structure and prepare the design system for AI-assisted design workflows and new use cases

• Close collaboration with experienced UX Designers and GUI Engineers
• The opportunity to contribute to real product work and see how designs are implemented
• Space to learn, experiment, and develop your UX/UI and AI design skills

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a degree program related to UX design, interaction design, human-computer interaction, interface design, media design, or a comparable field. For Bachelor’s students, ideally from the 3rd semester onwards; Master’s students are welcome from their 1st semester.
• A strong interest in design systems and a willingness to learn how they are built and maintained
• Fluent in English and comfortable communicating in German in a professional context.
• Initial experience with UI design, interaction design, or visual design and interest in both conceptual thinking and detailed interface design
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working with cross-functional teams
• Curiosity about AI-supported design workflows

If available, please share a small selection of student or personal projects that reflect your interests in UX/UI design.
