Job Purpose / Summary

We are seeking a UI / UX Design professional to support both production software development and research and development (R&D) initiatives. This role requires the ability to create intuitive, user-centered interfaces for web and mobile applications as well as emerging technologies. The ideal candidate will be able to balance creativity with product requirements, end-user needs, and system constraints to ensure designs are both innovative and feasible. They must apply design best practices to deliver scalable solutions across SaaS platforms, prototypes, and experimental systems, and be capable of producing high-fidelity, implementation-ready designs that allow for smooth handoff and integration with engineering teams.

This position involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams including product managers, software engineers, researchers, and end users in industries such as defense, law enforcement, and commercial sectors.

• Create, contribute to, and maintain scalable design systems, component libraries, and company-wide visual standards.
• Facilitate user feedback sessions and incorporate insights into design iterations.
• Support user research (e.g., interviews, usability studies, field testing) to understand end-user needs and behaviors.
• Ensure designs balance product requirements, user needs, and engineering feasibility while aligning with brand identity, accessibility standards, and industry best practices.
• Partner with engineers to ensure design feasibility, consistency, and seamless integration into system architectures.
• Prepare design-related deliverables, including reports, presentations, and demonstrations for stakeholders as needed.
• Stay current with UI / UX industry standards, best practices, and emerging technologies, including AI tools, to continuously improve design quality and efficiency.
• Maintain awareness of the evolving domains and operational contexts in which products are deployed, ensuring designs remain relevant, practical, and impactful for end users.
