Full-time
Posted 15d ago
~40 hrs/week
Responsibilities
You will lead usability research and design high-stakes interfaces for autonomous laboratory robotics and software. This involves partnering with engineers to translate research into clear, safe, and trustworthy UI patterns for complex operational workflows.
Requirements
The role requires 4–8 years of experience in UX research or human factors for complex industrial or scientific software. Candidates must possess strong skills in interaction design, information architecture, and core research methods like task analysis and usability testing.
Full job description
Your Impact at LILA
You will be the human-factors voice for Robotics, working on the software that runs Lila's autonomous labs. Partnering with software engineers and researchers, you'll make its most demanding surfaces — simulation, research operations, orchestration, and SCADA-style monitoring — clear, safe, and trustworthy under pressure, directly shaping how fast the factory runs and how few mistakes it makes.
What You'll Be Building
Lead usability research: run contextual inquiry, task analysis, and usability testing to ground UI decisions in real workflows.
Design for high-stakes displays: shape information architecture and interaction patterns for high-density orchestration and SCADA-style monitoring where situational awareness is paramount.
Prototype and validate: build Figma prototypes and testable flows for simulation, lab, and capacity-planning UIs, then iterate from evidence.
Design human-in-the-loop workflows: define how operators supervise, intervene in, and trust automated and AI-driven processes.
Partner with engineering: embed with the software engineers who build these UIs, translating research into specs, patterns, and design-system contributions.
Champion accessibility: set and uphold accessibility and interaction standards as the platform grows.
What You'll Need to Succeed
UX research depth: 4–8 years in UX research or human factors for complex operational, industrial, or scientific software — this is a research-first role.
Operational-display design: high-density, high-stakes interfaces such as control rooms, monitoring dashboards, or data-heavy tooling.
Core research methods: contextual inquiry, task analysis, and usability testing, turned into clear direction.
Interaction & IA craft: strong information-architecture and interaction-design skills, with prototyping in Figma or equivalent.
Human-in-the-loop & situational awareness: designing for operator supervision and error prevention.
Cross-functional communication: partnering with engineers and domain experts and defending design decisions with evidence.
Bonus Points For
Human factors in regulated, safety-critical domains: systems-engineering rigor and prior HF/UX work in aerospace, manufacturing, or healthcare/life sciences. Grounding in ISO 9241-210 (human-centred design) or WCAG 2.2 (accessibility) a plus.
Scientific or lab context: laboratory, robotics, manufacturing, or other regulated/operational environments.
SCADA & control systems: familiarity with control-room HMI design (ANSI/ISA-101), SCADA, or MES interfaces (you'll design the UI, not own the system).
Quantitative methods: survey design, behavioral analytics, or other quantitative research alongside qualitative work.
AI-driven interfaces: designing interfaces for AI-assisted or autonomous workflows.
Compensation
We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
U.S. Benefits. Full-time U.S. employees receive a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-paid life and disability insurance; flexible time off with generous company wide holidays; paid parental leave; an educational assistance program; commuter benefits, including bike share memberships for office based employees; and a company subsidized lunch program.
International Benefits. Full-time employees outside the U.S. receive a comprehensive benefits program tailored to their region. USD salary ranges apply only to U.S.-based positions; international salaries are set to local market.
Expected Base Salary Range
$144,000—$240,000 USD
