Loop Earplugs is reinventing how people experience the world by enabling them to live life at their own volume. 2024 was a pivotal year at Loop – we hit 14,000,000 earplugs sold, were named ‘The Best Earplugs for Concerts’ by The New York Times, and expanded our product offering to a complete range of solutions for day and night. Oh – and not to mention making history as the first company to win Deloitte’s Fast 50 Belgium twice.
But this is just the beginning. As we continue to develop disruptive products, we’re constantly on the lookout for the next big idea - and building a team who can make it happen.
Being a Looper means making a difference. Whatever your role, this is your stage to make a real impact and bring your ideas to life. Better yet, you’ll join a fast-growing, global team of 250+ people who are passionate, down-to-earth and eager to tackle challenges together.
You know great UX isn't just about the ergonomics. It’s in how a product integrated in your life. How it fits. How it responds. How it makes you feel. As a Senior UX Designer at Loop, you’ll focus on what most companies miss: an excellent user experience of their products. You’ll work at the intersection of form, function, and interaction. Designing how people engage with our products, from opening the box to everyday use. If you're ready to make products better through thoughtful user centered design, this is the role that gives you full ownership and full impact.
Own the user experience of physical products that people wear, touch, and live withIn this role, you’ll define how users interact with Loop products in the real world. Together with the product manager you'll define the target user and deeply understand their context. You’ll use research to uncover real-world needs and prototype solutions that improve comfort, usability, and delight. You’ll shape every physical touchpoint : fit, grip, feedback, affordance and collaborate with industrial design, acoustics, and hardware engineering to bring your work to life. From refining form factors to testing physical gestures, you’ll create experiences that don’t just work—they feel right and hit all the soft spots.
Your other responsibilities:
- Inspire your project team and make them empathize with the end user
- Translate product requirements into intuitive physical design flows
- Partner with industrial designers to optimize comfort and tactile experience
- Apply accessibility and usability principles to hardware interactions
- Lead ergonomic testing and physical interaction studies with users
This role calls for someone who understands the user pain points and sees design opportunities. You’ll need to think deeply about materials, feedback mechanisms, and use environments, and stay grounded in what real users need. You’ll collaborate across disciplines and push for design decisions backed by insight, not assumptions. You’ll thrive here if you combine curiosity, precision, and a sharp sense for how people actually interact with the things they use every day.
These key competences will set you up for success:
- 5+ years of experience designing user experiences for physical or wearable products
- Strong knowledge of ergonomics, tactile design, and user research methods
- Skilled in prototyping and testing physical interactions (foam, 3D, CAD, sewing, etc.)
- Comfortable working with industrial design, hardware, digital and engineering teams
- Experience designing for manufacturing constraints and production environments

What We Do
Our story began when Loop's founders, Maarten and Dimitri, had a common problem: ringing ears after a night out. They discovered that they were not alone, as 1 in 4 adults suffer from hearing damage. But why weren't they wearing earplugs? This question sparked the inception of Loop.
At Loop, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the way earplugs look, feel, and sound. Whether you need hearing protection or simply want to ensure comfort for your ears, Loop allows you to live life at your own volume.
Based in Antwerp with offices in Amsterdam, New York, and Shanghai, we are a rapidly growing team of over 250 people. .
