London, Greater London, United Kingdom Automata Full time

Level: 4Salary band:£60,000 - £80,000Bonus:8% performance-based, discretionaryLocation: Hybrid - on site in our London office 2x/week

At Automata, we're on a mission to transform how scientists work by making automation accessible to every lab in the world. We believe that by giving labs the power to automate, we can unlock discoveries that will shape the future of life sciences—from diagnostics and drug discovery to synthetic biology.

But we're more than just a company disrupting the industry—we're a team of innovators, problem-solvers, and creators passionate about empowering scientists. Our LINQ platform combines hardware and software to streamline workflows, making lab automation fast, flexible, and affordable. This means our customers can focus on groundbreaking research, while we take care of the rest.

Why Work at Automata?

  • Impact: Your work will directly contribute to advancements in science and medicine, supporting labs around the globe as they push boundaries in research and innovation.
  • Innovation: You'll be part of a team solving complex problems (seriously, no one else has figured out how to do this yet), using cutting-edge technology (we have robots).
  • Growth: We invest in our people. Whether through hands-on experience, professional development, or collaborative projects, you'll grow both professionally and personally.
  • Community: Join a diverse, passionate team that values collaboration (golf on a Thursday, Soccer once a month, movie nights whenever we fancy it).

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Lead the end-to-end UX design process, from discovery to delivery, ensuring high-quality and innovative product solutions.
  • Collaborate with product managers, engineers, designers, and other stakeholders to discover and deliver user-centred solutions.
  • Champion an evidence-based approach to understanding user and business needs, gathering feedback, and iterating quickly to inform and validate design decisions.
  • Conduct in-depth user research through interviews, observations, and data analysis to uncover insights that inform design strategy.
  • Create detailed flow diagrams, wireframes, and prototypes that effectively communicate the user experience.
  • Rapidly prototype to quickly create, test, and iterate ideas in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  • Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies to continuously improve our design process.
  • Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure consistency and scalability.

What it takes:

  • 5+ years proven experience as a UX or product designer with a robust portfolio showcasing design excellence.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline or equivalent experience.
  • Deep knowledge of user-centered design principles, user research, interaction design, and information architecture.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to present and justify design decisions to cross-functional teams and enable consensus.
  • Ability to thrive independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and an appetite for solving complex and ambiguous problems.
  • Experience in crafting complex, integrated experiences for B2B or bio-tech products.

At Automata, we're transforming the way labs work with open, integrated automation. Our mission is to unlock the potential of labs and the potential of the people who work in them.

If you are a passionate and experienced Senior UX Designer looking to make a significant impact in the life sciences industry, we invite you to apply by submitting your CV and portfolio outlining your relevant experience and design philosophy. Embrace this opportunity to be at the heart of innovation with Automata.

We are an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Discrimination of any kind based on race, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status is strictly prohibited.
