• Create high fidelity wireframes, prototypes, and user interfaces.
• Design intuitive visual representations of AI outputs: such as predictions, recommendations, confidence levels, and model reasoning, to help users quickly understand and act on insights.
• Collaborate effectively on a cross-functional software product team with designers, product managers, business analysts, front end, & back-end software engineers, QA, and project managers.
• Participate in primary (in-field) and secondary research activities with customers, employees, and other relevant business stakeholders to identify personas, create journey maps, service blueprints, application maps, task flow diagrams, etc.
• Work in an agile software development environment.
• Present design work and articulate the rationale behind visual, architectural, and interaction decisions, particularly those involving AI transparency and explainability.
• Collaborate closely with product managers to help create user stories and related project documentation.
• Participate in design critique sessions; both providing and responding to feedback on designs.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a University Degree or equivalent experience and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 7 years experience.
• Demonstrated experience creating data visualization UX designs.
• Demonstrated experience working within agile development environments and partnering closely with front-end engineering teams to translate design concepts into high-quality, production-ready solutions.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.
• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Science, or a related field.
• Ability to create high-quality visual artifacts including diagrams, presentations, prototypes, wireframes, etc. that drive understanding among users, team members and project stakeholders.
• Experience designing interfaces that communicate AI behavior, outputs, or probabilistic insights in ways that feel trustworthy and intuitive.
• Experience with digital design tools, such as Sketch, Adobe XD, Figma, etc.
• Self-motivated, self-driven and willing to take on new responsibilities.
• Fluency with simple prototyping tools, such as Invision, Figma, and experience with more advanced prototyping tools that offer richer interaction and animation capabilities, such as Principle or Framer.
• Experience using and working with component-based design systems such as Material UI.
• Propensity for self-directed problem-solving and the ability to work with limited guidance.
• General familiarity with technology underpinnings of interfaces, including presentation layer code (JavaScript/CSS/HTML, React, Objective-C, etc.) and architecture for web and mobile experiences.
• Ability to identify, articulate and leverage common design patterns and articulate why they should or shouldn’t be used.
• Experience in creating user experience flows for Analytical and GenAI insights, recommendations, forecasting, and/or chatbots.
• Extensive experience applying and leading user-centered design processes and connecting business and user needs to design decisions.
• Experience designing, participating in and leveraging user research activities; ability to understand and gain fluency with complex problems and drive elegant solutions that address them.
• Deep systems thinking skills; fluency with conceptual considerations such as modularity, data and program hierarchy, inheritance and flow.
• Ability to lead and educate a novice user/customer population, translating expertise into understanding.
• Effective at collaborating with cross-functional teams (IRL and remote) and working under tight deadlines.
