The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Manufacturing Technologies is hiring a UX/UI Designer in Davenport, IA.

• Role description

  Hand a blank artboard to most people and they freeze; hand it to you and a campaign falls out, which is why Manufacturing Technologies is hiring a mid-level UX/UI Designer. Sum it up however you want — freelance UX/UI Designer, $51,000 - $71,000, 5 years of Prototyping, and a stake in Manufacturing Technologies that only deepens.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline
  • Pitch the uncomfortable direction when the safe one has clearly run dry
  • Mine customer interviews for the one phrase that becomes the whole campaign
  • Wring narrative clarity from a feature list three product managers fought over
  • Ensure all deliverables meet brand, accessibility, and platform standards
  • Set the typographic rhythm that ties a sprawling Analytical Thinking library together
  • Convert vague safety-first adjectives from a brief into concrete, defensible choices

  What You'll Bring

  • Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Enough Color Theory to be dangerous, enough HTML/CSS to be trusted
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • A Davenport grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
