UI/UX Designer

Duties And Responsibilities

• Apply user-centered design (UCD) principles to develop intuitive workflows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI designs across web, mobile, and mission-system interfaces.
• Leverage AI-powered design tools and workflows to accelerate prototyping, generate design variations, and improve efficiency across the design lifecycle; stay current on emerging AI capabilities and integrate them into day-to-day work.
• Create dynamic, functional prototypes using tools such as Figma, Axure, or Adobe Aero to visualize and test interface concepts at varying fidelities.
• Use and contribute to Knowmadics’ design system and component library, ensuring visual consistency across products and platforms.
• Design across a range of interface paradigms including traditional web and mobile UIs, data visualization dashboards, and emerging interface concepts as program needs evolve.

User Research & Stakeholder Engagement

• Participate in and support user research activities including heuristic evaluations, field observations, and structured interviews with end users and subject matter experts.
• Participate in and support discussions with users and stakeholders to gather feedback on UI/UX concepts and prototypes and synthesize insights to inform iterative design improvements.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, researchers, and stakeholders to translate user and business needs into clear design solutions.
• Present design concepts, rationale, and findings to internal teams and external stakeholders in a clear and professional manner.

Collaboration & Cross-Portfolio Contribution

• Work across multiple products and programs, supporting the 360 Aware platform or Applied Research efforts based on team priorities.
• Adapt quickly to different product contexts, levels of maturity, and problem spaces.
• Cook up clear design briefs and annotated assets to enable effective handoffs, and provide structured feedback to ensure alignment across contributors.
• Maintain organized shared assets and documentation in Figma and Confluence to support distributed collaboration.
• Support applied R&D program deliverables as needed, including prototypes, demonstrations, and customer-facing materials.
• Contribute to Jira task tracking and participate in agile workflows across assigned programs.
• Identify opportunities to document or publish design findings when relevant to program goals.
