About: As interaction design manager, my team and I solve human computer interaction design problems by innovating and turning them into compelling user experiences. Whether that innovation is called the first scroll wheel in a mouse, or the first off desktop backlit rechargeable media keyboard, the principle is the same: think something that nobody has thought before, or improve something that already exists. A lot of people use the word. We make it happen. Join Microsoft Hardware as an interaction designer and help us redefine innovation in consumer products and their enabling technologies.

I am looking for a design leader, someone who can invent, drive and inspire great design solutions. I want a designer that has the vision, experience, and passion to impact how users experience their PC. I need a designer who will relish solving tough design challenges, and who are passionate about creating innovative product experiences through hardware and software integration. You need to love software; you need to love hardware, and most of all you need to a have a passion for great design. You will design and drive the development of fundamentals around a well-defined nucleus of user needs, tasks, and business goals.
