Design Intern

Overview

Labric builds the missing layer for scientific research. We connect instruments, spreadsheets, and other data sources to a central platform, transforming data into useful visualizations and metrics.

As a Design Intern, you'll shape how scientists interact with complex data. You'll work closely with engineers and customers to design tools that make lab data accessible and actionable — and learn what it takes to ship design at an early-stage startup.

The work

• Design interfaces for data visualization, workflow management, and analytical tools
• Create mockups, prototypes, and design systems
• Conduct user research with scientists and lab teams
• Collaborate with engineers to ship and refine designs

You

• Pursuing a degree in Design, HCI, or related field (graduating 2026 or later)
• Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX work
• Proficient with Figma or similar design tools
• Clear communicator who can present design rationale
• Curious about science and how labs actually operate
• [optional] Experience with data-heavy applications, HTML/CSS, or data visualization

Process

• Intro call + portfolio review
• Design conversation
• References
