• BP designs are only successful if supported by effective research. The UX research team oversees and plans research aspects of design and user experience to add valuable insights to design processes. This includes measuring the user experience by collecting feedback, analyzing trends, and conducting usability testing.
• If design engineering is your future, you’ll have an opportunity to help define the technology, tools, architecture, and engineering for design in BP. This is a broad and interesting domain, that combines design creativity with developer skills to execute full-stack design for digital outputs, including pattern libraries, frameworks, and mobile interfaces.
