About the role
About Andromeda
Andromeda is building autonomous surgical robots designed to help surgeons perform procedures more safely, consistently, and efficiently. Our engineers and designers work across robotics, software, hardware, machine learning, and clinical operations to bring robotic systems from concept to real-world deployment. We are a small, highly collaborative team that values ownership, curiosity, craft, and the ability to move quickly from idea to execution.
The Role
We are looking for a creative UX Designer who thinks like an artist and is comfortable at the intersection of hardware and software. This is not a traditional product design role. You will design the experience through which surgeons control a surgical robot via an iPad, making complex real-time interactions feel intuitive, responsive, and human. Think of it like designing a game where every interaction has real consequences. If the surgeon pushes on tissue, the interface needs to respond visually, the way a game gives you feedback when you hit something. That level of craft and psychological thinking about interaction is what we are looking for.
What You’ll Do
- Design the touchscreen interface that lets surgeons control the robot intuitively in real time.
- Create visual feedback systems that communicate robot state, tissue interaction, and surgical progress clearly and immediately.
- Conduct user research with surgeons to understand their mental models, workflows, and pain points.
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on interaction concepts, from rough sketches to high-fidelity mockups.
- Work across both 2D and 3D, designing dynamic interfaces with animation and motion, not static screens.
- Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers to translate design intent into a working product.
- Define and maintain design guidelines for the surgical interface.
