Cooper interaction designers are responsible for leading the design of product form and behavior. They work closely with design communicators and visual designers, industrial designers and engineers to:

• Conduct stakeholder and user research that gives clients insight into their problems.
• Define personas, scenarios, and requirements to guide design, inspire clients and build consensus.
• Generate compelling designs (from concept to pixels) that will win the hearts of users.
• Present work to clients in such a clear and persuasive manner that they not only know how to build it, but can’t wait to get started.

We’re looking for candidates with 4+ years of professional experience designing digital products and services. Right now, your job title may be interaction, interface or user experience designer, information architect, or even GUI developer. In any case, you’re quick-witted and passionate about designing products the right way. You’re also good at:

• Understanding complex systems and processes, both software-based and in the real world of people and atoms.
• Being as excited about data analysis tools as you are about consumer electronics.
• Visualizing solutions with digital tools, whiteboard markers, napkins and ballpoint pens, even sticks and patches of dirt. You’re compelled to express your ideas visually anywhere, anytime, in whatever medium happens to be at your disposal.
• Presenting your work before a room of curious (and sometimes skeptical) developers, interested (and sometimes demanding) marketers, and time-challenged (and sometimes impatient) executives.
• Learning new things. You’re as interested in what worries stakeholders as you are in understanding what makes surgeons, commodities traders, teenagers, and purchasing agents tick.
• Being decisive. You value user feedback, but don’t require it to make a judgment call.
• Working collaboratively. We believe that the exchange of ideas among the members of small, nimble teams is the fastest route to the best solutions.
• Empathizing. Our design method is built around satisfying the needs and motivations of real people. If you want to make things better, we want you.
