Functional Designer

In recent years, we’ve modernized our product’s core components and libraries, setting the stage for our next big challenge: becoming part of the Schneider Electric ecosystem. We’re enhancing our product to become a fully modular framework to enhance scalability and integration. We’re looking for a Functional Designer to help drive this important transformation.

You’ll work with the latest technologies, including IoT, AI, Docker, Kubernetes, micro-frontends, AWS and Azure, MongoDB, SQL Server, Java, Wildfly and Tomcat.

You’ll be part of a dynamic and collaborative, team of developers, product managers, and other functional designers, all working together to achieve shared goals.

To successfully fulfil your role, you:

• Convert product requirements into detailed functional designs that are clear, concise, and actionable for the development team.
• Work closely with product managers, internal customers, and development teams to refine requirements and ensure alignment on goals.
• Provide specifications for framework components, APIs, data flows, and interfaces, ensuring smooth integration within the platform.
• Act as the go-to person for technical clarifications and provide teams with the resources they need to move forward.
• Review functional designs with teams to ensure they meet high standards of usability and performance.
• Help organize and prioritize tasks, ensuring that the right features are delivered at the right time.
