User Interface Designer
Andromeda Surgical — Autonomous surgical robots
### About Andromeda We are on a mission to end the shortage of high skill health workers. We are building a “sous-chef“ for surgery that takes on all the monotonous surgical tasks from the surgeon that results in faster and more consistent surgical care. We went from a back of napkin idea to rolling our robot in an operating room for a live surgery in 18 months. We are a small team on an incredible mission of bringing the cutting edge developments in robotics and autonomy into the operating room. ### **About the Role** We’re looking for a creative and multidisciplinary **User Interface Designer** with a passion for building engaging, real-time applications that blend **game design**, **robotics**, and **front-end development**. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, designing intuitive experiences, and working across visual and technical domains. You’ll develop interfaces and tools that combine **robotics control or simulation**, **interactive 2D/3D visualizations**, and **web/mobile UI** for use in surgical devices. Your work will help lower the barrier to entry for surgeons desiring to offer complicated procedures to patients in need around the world. ### **What You’ll Do** * Build interactive front-end applications for robotics control, real-time feedback visualization, and simulation. * Design and implement intuitive robotic control methods tailored for touchscreen devices * Design and implement 3D visualizations using frameworks or tools like Three.js, Unity, Unreal Engine, Babylon.js. * Collaborate with the team across hardware and software development to integrate sensor data, control systems, and user input/feedback. * Develop responsive and performant web-based interfaces using TypeScript and frameworks such as React or Lit, and native mobile apps using React-Native, Ionic, or SwiftUI. * Rapidly prototype and iterate on tools that combine elements of gaming, robotics, and front-end development. * Ensure end-to-end accessibility, performance, and usability across our products. * Work as part of a diverse, interdisciplinary team focused on innovation and user-centered design. ### **What You Bring** * Hands-on experience in **game development** or **interactive 3D applications** (Unity, Unreal Engine, or similar). * Strong knowledge of **TypeScript** and modern front-end development (e.g., React, Vue, Lit, Web Components, HTML/CSS). * Familiarity with 2D/3D rendering libraries or game engines (e.g., Three.js, Babylon.js, Godot, Pixi.js). * Understanding of **real-time systems**, **data streams**, or **WebSockets**. * A collaborative mindset and comfort working with multidisciplinary teams. * Strong design instincts and attention to user experience. * Ability to work independently and contribute to team-driven goals. ### **Bonus Skills (Nice to have)** * Conducting user interviews * Experience with **ROS** (Robot Operating System) or related tools (Gazebo, RViz, etc.). * Familiarity with **physics engines** (PhysX, Bullet, Box2D). * 3D modeling experience. * Knowledge of mobile platforms (e.g., React Native, Flutter). * Experience designing for accessibility and inclusive interfaces.
