T-Mobile has three openings in it's advanced
products and services design group.
Technical Innovations Producer
This is a project leadership role focussed on
developing the design and technical aspects of a
new product or service. It's a perfect role for
people looking to blend design, tech, and
business thinking on blue-sky concepts.
Sr or Principle UI Designer
This is a leadership position for the discipline
of user interface and interactive experience
design. Emphasis is on information architecture
and interaction thinking vs visual design polish
and Flash skills. But all three in one person would be amazing.
Sr or Principle Interaction Designer
This is a leadership position for the discipline
of high-polish visual and interaction design with
an emphasis on interactive prototyping, likely in
Adobe Flash. Again, a multi-disciplinary designer here would be a huge plus.
See detailed descriptions below. The jobs are all
up in Seattle, WA at T-Mobile headquarters.
