UX Designer, Devices & Services Design

Description

The Devices & Services Experience Design (DxD) team leads user experience and industrial design innovation across Amazon's device portfolio, including Echo, Fire TV, Fire Tablets, , and related mobile apps. Our team works at the intersection of design, product and engineering, creating meaningful hardware and software experiences that enhance customer lives. We believe in storytelling and thinking holistically to craft the "why" behind everything we ship.

We're seeking a versatile UX Designer who is passionate about building incredible product experiences for the Echo Family of Devices and customers across the Amazon devices and services portfolio.

Our team is composed of multi-disciplinary designers who blend boundaries across UX design, visual, motion, prototyping, and industrial design. We innovate end-to-end product concepts starting from ideation of scenarios, to refined visual and conversational prototypes, to working with partner teams to execute and integrate seamlessly with devices.

We are makers at heart- transforming early concepts into high-fidelity, interactive experiences that leverage device capabilities across vision systems, audio, touch, gesture and natural modes of interaction.

Storytelling is integrated into the daily work of the design team - communicating strategy to diverse stakeholders, helping others see future possibilities today.

We create clarity from ambiguity, solving problems, and when there are multiple considerations and tradeoffs to consider.

You will be participating in a deeply collaborative team, partnering with cross-functional groups across design disciplines, research, developers, and product managers. Your hands-on approach builds trust and elevates the work of those around you.

Every day we push boundaries to turn ideas into tangible experiences that inspire partners, leaders, and customers.

• Thrive in ambiguity, generating divergent concepts while identifying compelling ideas worth deeper exploration.
