## Description

The Embedded Software team is looking for a Frontier UX Engineer to build the software that turns design intent into interfaces people can pick up and use. You will work closely with Design, taking ideas, use cases, and specifications from early prototype through a world class shipped product, pushing the UI experience to its limit., * Turn design specifications, use cases, and rough ideas into shipping interfaces, from early prototype through production on real hardware

 * Own execution: take a prototype the whole way to something that ships, with the quality bar held at each step
 * Find where the design language outruns the platform, and push the UI software at every layer needed to close the distance
 * Advise designers on what the system is actually capable of, early enough for it to change the design
 * Shape the UI runtime and system architecture with requirements drawn from real designs rather than hypotheticals
 * Own the end-to-end development of user experiences alongside design, firmware, and hardware partners
