The UX/UI Designer's main purpose is to design the mobile app experience, going hand in hand with a full consumer-facing product portfolio. This app enables seamless device pairing, firmware upgrades, audio customization (EQs, sound profiles), and personalized experiences across platforms.

As a key member of the App team, you are required to translate complex product and technical requirements into intuitive, elegant, and user-centered mobile experiences that delight audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
