Cooper is looking for talented people to join us full-time in our San Francisco office. Cooper designers work for organizations of all sizes across a wide range of industries. Our projects include desktop applications, consumer electronics, Web applications, medical instrumentation, and more.
On most Cooper projects, there are two full-time team members: an interaction designer and a design communicator. Both members are full partners in the design process, but each role emphasizes a different strength and temperament. The INTERACTION DESIGNER is responsible for the visualization and coherence of the design; the DESIGN COMMUNICATOR is responsible for the clarity of the design documentation, and for helping test and evolve the design concept through scenarios. In addition, our teams sometimes include a VISUAL DESIGNER who is responsible for the color, typography, and visual style of the interface. We have no industrial design openings at this time, though interaction designers trained in industrial design are welcome. Please carefully consider which role you prefer before applying.
Successful candidates will be mature professionals who have real-world experience, strong communication skills, a love of collaboration and complex problem-solving, the ability to work at all levels from product definition to pixels, and a constant desire to improve their skills. For the interaction design role, real IxD experience is a must. For the design communicator role, strong technical and persuasive writing skills are critical.
