About the Design team (and Design System)
Our Design team comprises 19 designers and six content writers across Oslo, Stavanger, and Austin. We are committed to continuous refinement, fostering individual growth, and supporting Cognite's rapid expansion. Our designers focus on various complex domains in heavy asset industries, including data onboarding, field operations, maintenance, and planning.
More specifically, our Design System team consists of two full-time engineers and two full-time designers, whom you’ll work closely with throughout the internship. We use MUI as a base library to build and maintain our components while relying on user (designer) feedback via workshops and critique sessions to help develop and refine our shared patterns, which cater to industrial data interfaces. We also rely on the Atomic Design principles to organize and scale our system.
About the job
We’re looking for an energetic and curious individual ready to apply their design education to the real world. As an intern with the Design System team, you’ll be able to help deliver, evolve, and maintain our design system - an essential linchpin for helping our designers and engineers build holistic and seamless experiences.
Key role and responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with seasoned designers to understand the nuances of industrial data and user requirements.
- Contribute to creating and enhancing a robust design system that ensures consistency and efficiency across our industrial data platform.
- Work on developing UI components, patterns, and design guidelines that align with industry standards and best practices.
- Work closely with the engineers to ensure our design system is built according to the specifications.

What we hope you bring to the table
