- Explore, evaluate, and validate alternative interaction models with users and stakeholders, turning findings into informed design decisions
- Collaborate with product-line UX designers and the design system team to identify, validate, and translate scalable experience patterns into reusable components, guidelines, and specifications

- Demonstrated ability to define reusable experience patterns across products, applications, or teams, balancing immediate needs with long-term consistency and scalability
- Experience designing data-rich interfaces such as dashboards, tables, search experiences, filters, configuration tools, or administrative applications, supported by strong Figma and interactive prototyping skills
- Familiarity with design systems and experience collaborating with software architects, Product Management, development teams, and UX designers to translate interaction patterns into component behavior and guidelines
- Excellent communication and skills, with a proactive, structured, and collaborative working style
- Fluent command of English; German is beneficial
