Senior Usability Designer – Diagnostic X-ray (DXR)

Help shape the future of healthcare by designing safe and intuitive diagnostic imaging systems

As a Senior Usability Designer, you will apply human factors and usability expertise to ensure Philips DXR products meet user needs and regulatory requirements—enabling clinicians to deliver faster, more effective care.

Your role:

• Make a greater impact by improving the safety, usability, and effectiveness of our Diagnostic X-ray systems, directly supporting better outcomes for patients and caregivers.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including engineering, clinical, marketing, quality, regulatory, and service—to deliver human-centered solutions that meet global medical device standards.

• Conduct and lead user research, usability testing (formative and summative), task analysis, and risk assessments (usability FMEA), and generate documentation for regulatory submissions (FDA, EU-MDR, CMDE).

• Stay ahead of usability regulations (IEC 62366, ISO 14971, FDA guidance) and advise teams on compliant, user-focused product development.

• You’ll work in a dynamic and collaborative team, with access to a global network of usability experts. The role offers significant personal and professional growth opportunities in a creative, high-impact environment, with strong support for continuous learning and career progression.

This role may require up to 10–15% travel annually.

You're the right fit if:

• You bring 5+ years of experience in usability, human factors, or user-centered design—ideally in medical devices or other high-regulation industries (aviation, automotive, military).

• You have strong research and communication skills, with the ability to translate user needs into actionable design input and strategic direction.

• You hold a degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Cognitive Psychology, or a related field with a focus on Human Factors or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

• You’re familiar with medical device usability and risk management standards (e.g., IEC 62366, FDA guidance, ISO 14971, EU-MDR).
