About the Job

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Interaction Designers take complex tasks and make them intuitive and easy-to-use for billions of people around the globe. Throughout the design process—from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mockups and prototypes—you’ll envision how people will experience our products, and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined, and even magical.

Google User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.

As an Interaction Designer, you’ll rely on user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences—from concept to execution. Like all of our UX jobs, you’ll collaborate with your design partners to leverage and evolve the Google design language to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use.

As a User Experience (UX) Designer on the Laptops and Tablets team, you will be instrumental in shaping the user experience for Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered Operating System (OS). You will be defining and delivering OS Foundations experiences (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, peripherals).The Platforms and Devices team encompasses Google's various computing software platforms across environments (desktop, mobile, applications), as well as our first party devices and services that combine the best of Google AI, software, and hardware. Teams across this area research, design, and develop new technologies to make our user's interaction with computing faster and more seamless, building innovative experiences for our users around the world.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to user experience that will have an impact on computing built on Android.
• Drive the conceptualization and implementation of new features for Operating System (OS) Foundations (e.g., Connectivity, Peripherals, Base OS, engagement with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners).
• Create user flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that illustrate user journeys and interface designs. Contribute to the development and maintenance of design guidelines and systems to ensure consistency and scalability across Laptop and Tablets projects.
• Work with UX Researchers, Engineers, and Product Managers to translate user needs and technical capabilities into designs. Iterate on designs based on user feedback and technical feasibility.
• Advocate for user-centered design principles within the team. Craft narratives that communicate research findings and drive decision-making.
