About the role

The Huawei Human-Machine Interaction Lab unites global researchers, engineers, and designers to redefine human technology relationships through user centered, hands on research.
We focus on agentic AI and multimodal interaction (voice, touch, vision, gesture) across smartphones, wearables, and emerging devices-advancing agentic workflows, multi-agent orchestration, and intuitive human-AI interfaces.
By tightly integrating sensing, algorithms, and systems, our prototype driven work ships directly to products, enabling seamless task delegation and human AI collaboration at scale.

About the job: Explore and design next-generation human-AI interaction experiences, with a focus on agentic AI, multimodal interaction, and emerging intelligent devices.
Design novel interaction paradigms for AI-native products, including conversational interfaces, AI copilots, proactive assistants, multimodal task delegation, cross-device experiences, and human-AI collaboration workflows.
Collaborate with team to explore new interaction models, user scenarios, and product opportunities for intelligent systems.
Participate in user-centered design activities, including concept validation, usability evaluation, Wizard-of-Oz studies, user interviews, and experience benchmarking.
Explore how users express intent, delegate tasks, maintain control, build trust, and collaborate with AI systems across voice, touch, visual, gesture, and context-aware interactions.
Explore and design next-generation human-AI interaction experiences, with a focus on agentic AI, multimodal interaction, and emerging intelligent devices.
Create rapid prototypes and interactive concepts using tools such as Figma, ProtoPie, Framer, and emerging AI prototyping platforms to validate future interaction concepts.
Contribute to the development of interaction patterns, design principles, journey maps, experience frameworks, and future product visions for agentic and multimodal experiences.

Human-AI Interaction, Agentic AI, Multimodal Interaction, AI-native User Experience, Conversational Interfaces, Wearable Computing, or Future Computing Experiences.
Ability to rapidly prototype, iterate, and communicate interaction concepts through visual storytelling and interactive experiences.
Strong understanding of interaction design principles, user-centered design methodologies, information architecture, and experience design frameworks.
