User Experience Architect
As the User Experience Architect, you are responsible for the discovery, concept definition, interaction design and specification of the User Experience for the complete range of Biamp Systems’ digital audio platforms.
You can defend your designs because they are based on fundamental research: behavioral, contextual and/or other user-centered means of capturing information from your users. You have the spark of out-of-box thinking, highly developed reasoning skills and the joy of “playing pretend” but you are serious about your work and can describe it to highly analytical-thinking engineers and analysts.
Equally important, you can speak the language of business. You recognize the importance of your work to the fundamental strategy of the company and are passionate about moving the interests of the business forward through your designs within the constraints of the strategic direction and resources of the company.
Your flair for expression is tempered by the needs of your users; your passion for creating a holistic vision is grounded in the understanding of technical constraints. You are comfortable creating a sketch on a napkin, a whiteboard, presentation software, or any number of Adobe products. You can formalize your thinking into use cases, flow charts, wire frames and specifications. Prototyping in all of its forms is your method of communication – almost any media will do, as long as it facilitates a conversation with your audience.
You appreciate the help of other team mates – whether within the product management team or engineers, analysts, program and project managers. Even as you believe design is best crafted from a single vision, you enjoy the collaborative effort, taking feedback and criticism as a means of improving the end result.
