    About Zenitel

    Zenitel is a Norwegian technology company with over 125 years of history. We develop communication products for professional users in exposed locations such as ships, schools, office buildings, trains and offshore installations. Our products include complete solutions for voice communication, voice broadcasting and alarms. We are more than 450 employees in offices in 18 countries and deliver products and solutions to international customers on all continents. The head office and corporate management are in Oslo and Horten.

    About you

    You are educated in design (product, interaction, or equivalent) at bachelor's or master's level and have experience from practically relevant work in interaction design. You are enthusiastic, curious and interested in the subject and have a well-developed aesthetic sense.

    You put the user first and can independently and together with others carry out user tests, design workshops, interviews and user surveys. You can take responsibility for collecting and understanding user needs and problems, and visualize and describe these for the rest of the team.

    You are skilled at idea and concept development. From good, communicating sketches to digital and physical prototypes. You have a keen eye for detail, but do not lose track of the big picture. You can deliver quick iterations to solve specific work tasks, but also think long-term and see how products and services should develop over time. And you often have experience in organizing and managing design teams and work.

    The work will consist of planning, structuring and developing digital and physical user interfaces for Zenitel's products. Examples of tasks: understand user needs, structure content, prepare wireframes and prototypes (paper and digital), deliver "pixel-perfect" graphic design and code-finished solution in Slint.

    It is an advantage if you have experience with coding or implementing graphical user interfaces through frameworks such as Slint, Qt, CSS or similar. We use Slint, and want designers to be directly involved in the implementation of front-end code.

    About us

    Our design team is divided between Zenitel's offices in Oslo (Torshov) and Horten. The workplace for this position can be in Oslo or Horten. Today, the team consists of 12 designers and engineers. We work both with further development of existing products and new development of completely new solutions.

    We design all parts of our products ourselves – electronics, software, user interfaces and mechanics – and can therefore shape the entire user experience from start to finish. We believe this makes it extra exciting – and quite unique – to work with us.

    We use Figma and Adobe as design tools. We implement user interfaces in Slint. We also have our own prototype and test lab and manufacture most of our products in Europe.

    What can we offer you?

    • Interesting, varied and demanding tasks
    • A good working environment in central premises
    • Good pension and insurance schemes
    • Exercise and health schemes
    • Free phone and internet
    • Good colleagues with a lot of knowledge and experience

    What influence will you have?

    You will be responsible for specific deliveries within design and user experience.

    You will be involved in shaping Zenitel's strategy and methodology for design and user experience.

    You will be involved in influencing the choice of tools and methods for product development.

    Your work will be an important part of the success of our future products and services. We want to deliver products that simplify people's everyday lives and that ultimately can help save lives. In this way, create value for our customers and society as a whole.

    The working language at Zenitel is English, so you need to be able to speak and write this fluently.

     

    We use Semac background checks on relevant candidates.
