Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Walk me through a project where you designed an experience powered by AI, like a recommendation engine or a conversational interface. What was your process from user need to final design?

whether the candidate has real end-to-end AI design experience versus surface familiarity

Tell me about a time you had to design for a system that could be wrong or uncertain. How did you help users understand and trust its output?

experience designing for AI transparency, error handling, and trust calibration

Tell me about a time you identified bias or an ethical concern in a product you were designing. What did you do about it?

proactive ethical reasoning and willingness to raise uncomfortable issues

Describe a project where priorities shifted quickly and you had to change direction mid-stream. How did you keep the work moving without losing quality?

adaptability in a fast-paced, ambiguous innovation environment

Tell me about a time you had to present a complex or unproven AI concept to leadership or a skeptical stakeholder. How did you make the case?

storytelling and communication skill needed to sell speculative or future-state design ideas

Technical

How would you explain, in plain language, the difference between machine learning, NLP, and generative AI to a product manager who has never worked with any of them?

depth of conceptual AI literacy and ability to translate technical ideas for non-technical stakeholders

Have you used AI tools yourself to speed up parts of your design or research work, like synthesizing interview data or generating prototypes? Walk me through an example.

hands-on familiarity with AI-augmented workflows, not just theoretical knowledge

How do you decide when an AI feature actually adds value for the user versus when it's AI for its own sake?

critical thinking about appropriate use of AI rather than reflexive enthusiasm for the technology

Walk me through a piece in your portfolio that shows your process end to end, not just the final screens. What tradeoffs did you make and why?

depth and honesty of portfolio storytelling, and mastery of design craft at a senior level

If you had a large set of open-ended survey responses and wanted to use AI to help find themes, how would you approach it while making sure you don't miss nuance or introduce bias?

practical judgment about AI-augmented research methods and their limitations

Situational

Say you're asked to design a generative content tool for one of our public safety products, and early testing shows users don't trust the AI's suggestions. What would you do next?

problem-solving process when user trust in AI is low, and whether they default to research before redesign

If a data scientist tells you a model can't currently support the interaction you want to design, how do you handle that conversation and adjust the design?

collaboration skill with technical partners and flexibility when constraints conflict with design vision

Public safety users, like dispatchers or officers, often work in high-stress, high-stakes moments. How would that context change how you'd design an AI feature for them compared to a typical consumer app?

whether the candidate can adapt design thinking to Motorola's specific safety-critical user base
