• Craft and validate long-term design strategies via customer research, prototyping, and proposals that advocate for scientific and clinical user needs.
• Create prototypes and functional demonstrations of complex scientific workflows using vibe coding and AI-assisted prototyping tools.
• Design for multiple user personas (bench scientists, computational biologists, clinicians), happy-path and edge cases, and high-risk situations that could affect scientific integrity.
• Ensure AI-assisted experiences are transparent, trustworthy, cite sources, explain reasoning, and support—not replace—professional judgment.
• Leverage and extend existing design systems (Trans Am, transitioning to RAD) and create domain-specific patterns and scientific visualizations.
• Conduct ethnographic and user research, partner with engineering and science teams to translate prototypes into production-ready specifications, and maintain alignment through documentation and regular syncs.
