Overview
YOUR ROLE
Do you miss something when producing music? Are you not satisfied with the user experience of contemporary music production tools? You may just have found your new home as a Product Designer at Native Instruments.
As a UX Designer for Maschine you will help us redefine modern music production with hardware and software. You will develop entirely new ideas for new products or evolve current products to be more powerful and more fun to use. You can call for team discussions, interview trendsetting artists, and collaborate with product managers to define the perfect product and then carry over your vision to developers, engineers and testers to see it come to fruition.
Ideally, you have at least three years of design or concept development experience in the MI industry and a solid understanding of the market, product landscape and user requirements. In case this would be your first venture in full time design, or you come from another industry, but still believe you are the perfect fit, don’t hesitate and convince us!
Please include various examples of your work in your application. Also feel free to show us your unfinished sketches and early stage work. We want to understand your approach to problem solving and developing concepts.
