UX Designer III

Modular Mining Systems is the global leader in mine management technology and a wholly owned subsidiary of Komatsu Ltd. Our innovative technology powers mine operations in every corner of the globe. The products we cultivate, the solutions we engineer and the service we deliver set us apart in the Mining Technology industry. We are more than a company, we're a community of passionate, creative professionals striving toward a shared vision: to revolutionize the way the mining industry operates. With a presence stretching from Johannesburg to Vancouver, Sydney to Lima, you are part of a global brand that supports creativity, fosters innovation, and encourages you to think big, share ideas, and be yourself.

As part of Komatsu's UX Design team, you will assist in the entire design process of creating "an exemplary user experience that meets the exact needs of the customer, without fuss or bother." You will dive deep into the user environment to understand, categorize, prioritize, and document user behavior and stakeholder requirements. With that understanding, you'll design useful, usable, and desirable solutions, lead design reviews, and test your concepts with end users. You will contribute to a growing design system and freely develop your skills as a designer. You will coach designers on UX best practices and collaborate with business partners at all levels to further establish a human-centered design culture.

If you are an empathetic, driven, and creative UX designer who wants to produce practical solutions in a dynamic and team-oriented environment, this is a great opportunity to work side by side with some of the biggest innovators in the Mining technology industry.

Some domestic and international travel is required to attend both internal and external meetings.
