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.

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.
