UI Design Intern

RE:LAB is a design and innovation company specialized in shaping the interaction between people and complex technologies.

Since 2004, we have been working on products and systems used daily across the automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. Our goal is to make advanced technology understandable, safe, and natural to use.

We don’t just design interfaces. We design experiences that bring together design, engineering, human factors, and artificial intelligence. Our multidisciplinary team tackles real-world challenges in highly complex contexts, where quality and reliability are essential.

We partner with global companies when user experience is not a detail, but a critical factor for a product’s success—when adoption, safety, and user trust truly make the difference.

At RE:LAB, we believe technology should feel human. This belief guides the way we work, the design decisions we make, and the relationships we build every day.

Designing human experiences for complex technologies.

Posizione:

Our HMI division is looking for an intern to join an extracurricular program focused on designing two-dimensional interfaces for digital systems and mobility applications.

During the internship, the selected candidate will have the opportunity to build hands-on skills in creating and organizing graphical interfaces, following methodologies used in professional design settings. Working alongside a team of senior designers, they will take part in producing visual components and graphic assets for interactive products.

The training path will focus in particular on using Figma to manage structured design systems — components, variables, and variants — applied to projects within the HMI and mobility space.

Main Activities

• Contribute to the creation of 2D graphic elements for user interfaces.
• Take part in building and organizing UI component libraries within Figma.
• Learn how to structure scalable design systems based on components, variants, and variables.
• Provide support in defining layouts and visual assets for interface projects.
• Help the team maintain consistent visual standards across different projects.
• Take part in review sessions and collaborative work with UX designers and engineering teams.

Requisiti:

• Master's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Design, Advanced Design, Interaction Design, or a related field.
• Knowledge of Figma and other 2D design tools.
• Familiarity with the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, or equivalent tools).
• Passion for digital interface design and applied graphics.
• Curiosity about structured approaches to building design systems.
• Precision, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn professional methodologies.
• Interest in design applied to technology-driven systems and mobility.
• Strong fit for teamwork in multidisciplinary environments.
• Good working knowledge of English.

Nice to have

• Personal or academic experience related to UI design or digital graphics.
• Curiosity about HMI systems and mobility-related interfaces.
• Knowledge of motion design activities and related tools (such as After Effects, Principle, or similar)
