Who We Are:

At Momentum Design Lab we help global brands, startups and enterprises use innovation and human-centered design to create meaningful user experiences.

Our projects typically deal with data, and lots of it. We have completed more than 600 projects over the last 17 years. Our multinational design and development team representing 7 countries has a combined total of well over 110 years of user experience design. We’ve been providing quality, enterprise-level, user experience product innovation designs well before it became a competitive necessity.

We challenge and question our clients to drive innovation within their products, platforms and services, all based around what we hear from the end-users. As such we see no coincidence that we are rated the global # 1 User Experience agency for the 3rd year running on Clutch.co.

What you’ll be doing

As a Momentum Design Lab Principal Product UI/UX Designer, you’ll ensure the work we produce is effective and intelligent while working with a team of other designers and developers. You will be responsible for creating better, more forward-thinking work.

You'll collaborate closely with clients throughout the entire lifecycle of the project. To succeed, you'll need to have an eye for details and keep an eye on the big picture. You can be excited to work as part of a team or tackling challenges on your own in creating rad products for innovative and exciting brands. You relish the opportunity to mentor your designers to grow them to their full potential.

This role is based in San Mateo, CA—right in the epicenter of technology. Easily accessible by plane, train or automobile. You can walk to the best ramen in the state or any of the many restaurants in beautiful downtown San Mateo.

You’ll obsess over the details and develop concepts for enterprises and start-up’s alike. We craft pixel-perfect systems with compelling form and simple function. You’ll bring ease of use to complex ideas in Fortune 100 enterprises and emerging start-ups alike.
