Product Designer

We're growing our design team and looking for an early-career Product Designer who believes that a deep understanding of users is the foundation of good design. You'll join a small, senior team and learn the craft of designing for complex, high-stakes software, with real ownership from early on. This role reports to the Director of Product.

Our preference is for candidates based in Burlington, VT or the San Francisco Bay Area so they can work in a hybrid model, splitting time between the Sirona office and their home office.

Radiologists repeat the same workflows hundreds of times a day, so small improvements compound across a shift. You'll spend most of your time exploring problems, sketching, prototyping, and testing alongside clinicians, researchers, engineers, and product managers who are at the top of their fields. You'll start with well-scoped problems, paired with a senior designer, and take on larger pieces of core workflows as you ramp.

No radiology background is needed. We'll invest in getting you up to speed clinically, and we care more about curiosity and design fundamentals than a long resume.

Key Responsibilities:

• Speak for the user, bringing context and detail from research and observation into product decisions
• Work with product management, engineering, and clinical colleagues to define, prototype, test, and refine solutions
• Sketch, wireframe, and prototype at low and high fidelity in Figma, moving quickly from idea to something testable
• Use AI tools like Claude to speed up exploration and build working prototypes, then test them with clinicians and refine them with your own judgment
• Take part in user research and usability sessions, and turn what you learn into design changes
• Work through information architecture, interface, and interaction patterns for dense, desktop-first workflows
• Hand off cleanly to engineering with organized, annotated, well-documented designs
• Review shipped work (design QA) to confirm it matches the intent
• Contribute components and documentation to Sirona's in-house design system
• Give and receive feedback in regular design critiques, and explain the reasoning behind your decisions

Key Requirements:

• Curiosity: the most important trait we look for. You ask why, dig into how people actually work, and enjoy learning a complex domain
• Strong Figma skills: we expect proficiency even at the entry level, since Figma is our primary design tool. That includes components, auto layout, and prototyping
• Comfort with AI tools: you're comfortable using tools like Claude to help build prototypes
• Collaboration: you work well with others, ask for input early, and value feedback, giving it back thoughtfully
• Design rationale: you can explain the reasoning behind your design decisions, in conversation and in writing
• User research: some familiarity with research methods to help drive the discovery phase. We'll provide plenty of support here
• Solid grounding in UX fundamentals: user flows, information architecture, interaction design, usability, and accessibility

Preferred Requirements:

• 0 to 2 years of professional experience in UX or product design, including internships, apprenticeships, freelance, or substantial project work
• A portfolio that shows your process end to end (problem, exploration, iteration, outcome) for at least two web or desktop application projects. Student and personal projects are welcome
• Bachelor's degree in design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Internship or project experience in healthcare, MedTech, or another complex, expert-user domain
• Experience with data-dense or desktop-first interfaces
• Exposure to design systems, whether using or contributing to one
• Familiarity with AI or machine learning driven product experiences
• Comfort reading basic front-end concepts (HTML/CSS, component libraries) to collaborate smoothly with engineers
• Experience running or supporting usability tests

Benefits

• Stock
• Competitive salaries
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Medical, dental, vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
• 401(k) matching
• Apple equipment
• Sponsorship for conferences, continuing education
• Mentorship from senior designers and exposure to an international team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians
• Meaningful work: your designs help physicians diagnose patients faster
