Job posting at Dash Navigation is looking for a Senior Interaction Designer to join our user experience team. Dash connects people to the information that empowers them in their cars.
A navigation device presents novel design challenges because
- The user’s primary need is safety
- Their secondary task (getting optimally to a destination) entails surprisingly complex decision making
- The screen is small, the computer’s personality is often annoying, and the road environment confusing
- Finally, map, traffic, and location databases are as diverse and idiosyncratic as the cultures that built them
Dash requires an interaction designer to be both fast and good. Job tasks include
- Working collaboratively with user researchers, product managers, and engineers to create great ideas
- Conceptualizing and visualizing the right features for our target users
- Specifying, in detail, the behaviors of the product
- Motivating and inspiring the product team to do the right thing for the users
- Demonstrating that the design is delighting the user through test results
Key Requirements
- Academic background in either HCI/psychology or design field
- 4+ years design experience on a consumer company
- Portfolio that includes both concept sketches and detailed specifications
- Commercially implemented designs
- References
Desired Requirements
- Experience designing voice interfaces
