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.

You will empower users to feel informed, confident, and in control of their device battery. You will understand scope/objectives, creating directional designs and frameworks to communicate the ideas. Your day may involve designing interfaces, developing storyboards, brainstorming in a large group, or prototyping new interactions, resolve design issues, or develop product narrative.

Android is Google’s open-source mobile operating system powering more than 3 billion devices worldwide. Android is about bringing computing to everyone in the world. We believe computing is a super power for good, enabling access to information, economic opportunity, productivity, connectivity between friends and family and more. We think everyone in the world should have access to the best computing has to offer. We provide the platform for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers to build compelling computing devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, wearables, etc) that run the best apps/services for everyone in the world.

Responsibilities

• Drive a goal, and forward looking product strategy to enable Google to deliver great battery experiences. Develop user journeys, mockups, prototypes, storyboards, and presentations to effectively communicate design ideas.
• Create new designs including user flows, wireframes, mocks, and/or prototypes in partnership with design leads. Rationalize and justify design work and advocate for all types of users’ needs.
• Work with the Engineering team to ensure designs are implemented to specification, and collaborate with them to come up with creative design solutions when technical challenges arise.
• Iterate on designs based on feedback from users and stakeholders. Help guide team creative strategy and manage team work assignments.
