product designer for AI research

This opportunity contributes to advanced AI research and evaluation projects involving rapid prototyping, product design, and human-AI collaborative development workflows. It focuses on improving the capabilities of next-generation AI systems.

• Design realistic scenarios involving rapid prototyping, product development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration;
• Develop tasks covering UX/UI design, design systems, component libraries, user research, usability testing, and visual design workflows;
• Create AI-assisted development and vibecoding tasks involving natural-language-to-code workflows, rapid application development, and prototype creation;
• Use Figma, Framer, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit, and other modern design and development platforms;
• Apply human-centered design principles, heuristic evaluation methods, design thinking frameworks, and iterative AI-assisted development methodologies;
• Create reference prototypes, design specifications, usability reports, and development artifacts;
• Develop evaluation rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level design and product judgment from generic or template-driven work;
• Evaluate outputs based on user experience quality, design thinking, technical feasibility, product impact, and execution excellence.

• 5+ Years of experience as a Product Designer, UX/UI Designer, Design Lead, AI-Native Builder, or similar professional;
