In my role on the IBM Hardware Team, I focused on ensuring that our hardware products were safe and intuitive for our users. This included consideration of labeling and touch points that would indicate to users when and how to remove components based mindful use of shape, color, and texture. It also include elements of branding to ensure that IBM hardware products looked like a family and communicated a perception of quality of the IBM products our clients trust to keep their business running. We also had a number of challenges collaborating with the engineering team to ensure that products could meet technical specifications such as having enough airflow, electromagnetic shielding, and acoustic dampening.
