Jonathan Hill
Seasoned UX Leader
My focus is on bridging the gap between complex engineering systems and human-centred experiences. Having led UX initiatives at Kistler, a global leader in high-precision measurement and sensor technology, I understand how to make technical data accessible, actionable, and trusted by decision-makers.
My work has reduced onboarding time by up to 20%, decreased support costs by up to 15%, and improved compliance workflows for hardware-integrated, security-sensitive B2B products.
Beyond UX delivery, I’ve also contributed directly to product ownership activities, including shaping backlogs, defining MVP scope, and translating customer insights into actionable development priorities. This hybrid perspective allows me to connect strategic business goals with real user outcomes.
I’m particularly interested in applying this expertise to connected infrastructure, smart city platforms, and IoT ecosystems, where human-centred design is essential for usability, sustainability, and long-term adoption.
My responsibilities have included influencing senior stakeholders, mentoring cross-functional design teams, and delivering integration-ready product strategies in close collaboration with business, engineering, and user communities.
I’m passionate about solving complex problems through usability by bringing clarity and human understanding to technical, data-driven environments.

Kistler Group,
Winterthur, Switzerland
UX Lead | July 2023 → Present
UX Engineer | November 2021 → July 2023
At Kistler, I lead UX initiatives that simplify highly technical workflows, reduce onboarding time for new users, and improve adoption across complex B2B systems. These outcomes mirror the challenges of smart city projects, that is, by turning complex data into actionable insights that citizens and decision-makers can trust. Currently, I lead a small team of designers and help drive the UX strategy across six enterprise products, balancing consistency, user needs, and business goals.
Key Highlights
Reduced support costs by up to 15% with the rework of outdated and complex instruction manuals.
Developed UX that decreased onboarding times by up to 20%
What I have accomplished:
Bridged User Experience with Platform & Business Realities
- Drove partner-aligned UX and product strategies in a highly technical B2B environment.
- Aligned user experience initiatives with business and user platform constraints, despite strict security limitations.
Drove Scalable UX Within Platform & Hardware Constraints
- Guided the UX team in applying research insights and analytics to design scalable, integration-ready solutions.
- Designed for sensors and devices in road and bridge monitoring setups, to integrate UX with IoT and work with embedded system constraints.
Shaped Product Vision Through UX Advocacy
- Led UX in strategic product discussions and road mapping, presenting to senior leadership to secure budget, scope alignment, and resource commitment.
Linked UX to ROI Through Strategic Feature Decisions
- Created business cases linking user insights to commercial ROI, helping teams monetise what mattered most to end-users and eliminate underperforming features.
Milestones achieved during my tenure at Kistler
User-Centered SW Development
Championed a shift toward a user-centric, product development
model, advocating for early UX involvement and measurable impact
tied to partner objectives.
UX Maturity
Acted as a cultural catalyst levelling up the UX maturity of the company, driving
awareness and embedding customer-centric thinking into product development.
Improved Processes
Successfully reframed UX
as a business accelerator, (reduced support costs by up to 10-20%,
reduced onboarding by up to 20% by improved usability of our products).
Data-Based Decisions
Partnered with sales, support, and product teams to implement
scalable feedback loops using tools like Google Analytics and
Hotjar.
My experience in the sensor-driven industrial sector has direct parallels to smart cities and digital twins. Both domains demand clear, intuitive interfaces that make sense of complexity, align diverse stakeholders, and ensure adoption at scale. Leading UX at Kistler has given me the toolkit to translate complexity into human-centered solutions, a capability I now want to bring to smart city and Vision 2030 initiatives.
