[Hiring] Product Designer @Hitachi

Role Description

We are looking for an early-career Product Designer to join our Product Design team. This role is suited to a recent graduate or someone beginning their professional design career. You will work alongside experienced designers, product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to help create useful, intuitive, and accessible digital products. We believe good design starts with understanding people and problems, not simply producing interfaces. You will learn to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints while contributing to real product initiatives.

• Collaborate with designers, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand user needs, business goals, and project requirements.
• Contribute to user research, discovery activities, workshops, and usability testing.
• Help translate insights and requirements into user flows, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and interface designs.
• Use Figma to explore concepts, create prototypes, and contribute to production-ready designs.
• Apply and learn from established design systems to help maintain consistency across products.
• Participate in design reviews and critiques, explaining design decisions and incorporating feedback.
• Iterate on solutions based on user feedback, data, business priorities, and technical constraints.
• Consider usability, accessibility, and inclusivity throughout the design process.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Continuously develop knowledge of Product Design, UX, UI, research, accessibility, and emerging design practices.

Qualifications

• Recent graduate in Product Design, Interaction Design, UX/UI Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Portfolio demonstrating design thinking, problem solving, and design process. Academic, personal, internship, or collaborative projects are welcome.
• Good understanding of user-centred design principles.
• Familiarity with Figma or similar design and prototyping tools.
• Basic understanding of interaction design, visual design, usability, and accessibility.
• Ability to explain the reasoning and process behind design decisions, not only the final outcome.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
• Curiosity, openness to feedback, and willingness to learn.
• Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment.

Requirements

• Exposure to user research or usability testing.
• Familiarity with design systems and component-based design.
• Understanding of Agile or iterative product development.
• Interest in complex software, enterprise products, data, AI, or emerging technologies.
• No previous full-time Product Design experience is required.

Benefits

• Expected base salary: $55K to $75K.
• Expected on-target earnings: $60K to $80K.
• Employees are eligible to participate in Hitachi Vantara’s bonus/variable/commission pay programs, where applicable.
