Stage - UI Designer Intern (H/F)

Role Summary

Job Description Summary

The UI/UX Designer intern provides creative and methodological support to the Principal UI/UX Engineer, in the overall redesign of the human-machine interface (HMI) of our wind turbines. It contributes to the definition of a new modern and intuitive graphic language, aimed at improving the operational efficiency of operators and reducing their cognitive load. The intern actively participates in the creation of a coherent design system, intended to be deployed across the company's entire interface portfolio.

The position is part of a strategic modernization phase, involving close interfaces with development teams (for technical feasibility) and field operators (for user needs). The intern participates in structuring a lasting visual identity, while developing his understanding of ergonomic issues linked to industrial operations.
