Experience Designer, Handheld Experiences - EA SPORTS™ FC

As one of the largest sports entertainment platforms in the world, EA SPORTS FC is redefining football with genre-leading interactive experiences, connecting a global community of fans to The World's Game through innovation and unrivaled authenticity.

We are looking for an Experience Designer to join our team as we pioneer the future of football fandom. You will design, innovate, and create new, immersive experiences that bring joy, inclusivity, and connection to fans everywhere.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years designing shipped, player-facing interfaces for games or interactive entertainment, mobile, console or handheld.
• Touch-first interaction design: direct manipulation, a coherent gesture vocabulary, thumb reach and grip zones, targets sized for fingers rather than cursors, scroll and drag physics with real weight, and immediate feedback in a world that has no hover state.
• Strong visual craft, with evidence in your portfolio: typography, grid and layout, spacing and hierarchy, and color used to carry state and meaning rather than decoration.
• Design system fluency. You can build and document a component with its variants and states, make it scale across screen contexts, and articulate when a pattern should be reused, extended, or deliberately broken.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end player experience for your features, from concept through ship: flows, wireframes, high-fidelity design, motion and haptic direction, and support through implementation.
• Leverage & contribute to an established FC Design System, extending it for handheld context.
• Define input models and navigation paths for touch and platform-specific input, and make the transitions between them feel seamless.
• Prototype and evaluate on hardware early and often.

Nice to have:

• Shipped a title on handheld platforms (ex: Mobile, Switch 1/2, ROG Ally, MSI Claw, Steam Deck)
• Hands-on experience with Unity, Unreal/UMG, or a proprietary UI framework, enough to prototype in-engine or reason about what is implementable.
• Experience with diegetic or in-world UI
