Internship Department Details:  

• Department Name: R&D

• Business Function: Global Product Design

• Team Highlights: We are a multi-disciplinary team of user experience designers, industrial designers, visual designers, user researchers and content designers. Our passion for the products comes from our passion for the people (including team members) that use our products each day to take control of their health. This role reports to a Senior Manager of UX Design as a member of the Global Product Design team.

Where you come in:

• You will help shape what’s next by partnering with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to define both the long-term strategy (via brainstorming, workshops, and design proposals) and the short-term tactics for our products (via creating wireframes, workflows, journey maps, and prototypes).

• You will be a voice for design by helping us drive the vision for the look, feel, and interactions in Dexcom products, and communicate that vision to the rest of the company.

• You will push forward new design ideas proactively and take ownership of tasks that impact the entire product portfolio of CGM apps.

• You will be a champion for the user by immersing yourself in patient, caregiver, and healthcare provider experiences and help tell the varied and diverse stories of these users as you work to improve their experiences with Dexcom products.

What makes you successful:

• You enjoy communicating about design and can talk about complex design ideas and processes in a way that’s accessible to diverse audiences. The ability to discuss tradeoffs between design options and articulate design decisions is a critical skill for our team. Every member of our team acts as an ambassador, mentor, and educator for our craft across Dexcom.

• You can take abstract ideas and concepts and transform them into tangible, delightful experiences for our users. A great fit for this role is a designer that may not know everything there is to know about the experience managing diabetes, but through research and curiosity can form metaphors for the tasks managing diabetes involves that resonate with users, visually and conceptually. Your job is to take usually complex information, workflows, and concepts and transform them into delightful experiences that resonate with users.

• You care deeply about users and their needs. A strong candidate for this role will be naturally curious about our users and their caregivers, what troubles them and delights them, and will be relentless in advocating for their best interests in the product.

• You value clear, open communication. We see clear, thoughtful, and regular communication (including a willingness to give and receive feedback) as a fundamental skill, not just a nice to have — and we hope you do too.

What you’ll get from your Intern Program:

• A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community.  

• Meaningful work and assignments that impact your early career development.  

• Participation in a targeted Learning Series that encourages professional development topics and provides insight into Dexcom's culture and career opportunities.
