INTERACTION DESIGNER
SUMMARY:
The Software R&D Department is responsible for Pixar’s in-house production software creating our beautiful animated films. Our mission is to provide tools that integrate the latest computer graphics techniques and that delight our users with their natural and intuitive interfaces. The Interaction Design team is looking for a talented Interaction Designer who has collaborative experience with end-users and developers designing software.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The ideal candidate will be passionate about taking the knowledge gained from human-centered research and turning it into designs for simple and elegant workflows. If you simultaneously think broadly about the entire system and are obsessed with designing the minute interactions, we’d love to hear from you. In this role, you will have project-based experiences where you have collaboratively designed a complex system with end-users and software developers.
You are someone who thrives in a busy environment and enjoys working on multiple projects simultaneously and juggling a wide range of design deliverables. You will need to possess well-honed problem solving and analytic abilities as well as the ability to prepare, present and iterate upon detailed design specifications.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• A strong portfolio that showcases both strong visual and interaction design work is required (a link will be required with your application submission)
• Fluency in a variety of user-research methodologies such as contextual interviews, surveys and group discussions
• An ability to express design concepts through wireframes, workflows and mock-ups using visual design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, OmniGraffle or other similar tools
• An ability to create click-through prototypes in packages such as Keynote, After Effects or other interactive frameworks
• Be able to convincingly articulate your design rationale visually, orally and in writing
• Masters in Design, HCI, CS or related field highly desired but not required
• Industry experience designing workflows in a complex problem space is desired
• Experience in 3D or media production processes highly desirable
