UX Product Designer Jobs in Illinois

Are you ready to join the industry leader? State Farm is looking for current students who care about thoughtful product experiences and are curious about how AI is changing the way people work. During the 2027 Summer Internship Program, you will support customer or agent experiences across web and mobile by using research, interaction design, visual craft, user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes. You will also explore how AI can help users complete tasks, where it may produce inconsistent results, and how a product designer can keep users informed and in control. State Farm continues to refine and expand the use of technology for employees, agents, and customers.

You will learn alongside designers, researchers, product partners, and engineers as ideas move from problem definition to a tested experience. Your work will help State Farm create useful experiences for employees, agents, and customers. We value clear thinking, learning by making, and sound judgment. Coursework, class projects, personal projects, campus work, and regular use of AI tools all count as relevant experience for this sophomore-level internship.
