Mid-level UI/UX Designer at Knowmadics creating user-centered designs for web and mobile applications. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop UI solutions and prototypes.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Coordinate design tasks by preparing 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.
  • Work iteratively with engineering teams to ensure design feasibility and consistency during implementation.
  • 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.

Requirements:

  • Eligible to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance - U.S. Citizenship required.
  • A portfolio of past design work, professional or academic, is required for applications to be considered.
  • Must reside within approximately 40 miles of one of the following office locations: Wichita, KS; Lawton, OK; or Round Rock, TX.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Factors, Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Industrial Design, Psychology, or a related field required.
  • 3+ years of professional UI/UX design experience, with demonstrated work across web or mobile applications.
  • Proficiency in Figma and at least one additional design or prototyping tool, such as Adobe XD, Axure, Adobe Aero, or Illustrator; familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and a demonstrated willingness to adopt new tooling as the landscape evolves.
  • Strong foundational skills in user-centered design, interaction design, and visual design, including typography, color, layout, and information hierarchy.
  • Experience working in a production SaaS environment with regular release cycles and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in async, distributed team environments; experience coordinating with or tasking offshore or remote design resources is a plus.
  • Experience conducting user research and translating findings into actionable design decisions.
  • Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and maintaining visual consistency across products.
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams alongside business analysts, product managers, and engineers.
  • Proficiency in Jira or similar task management tools for agile collaboration.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable working independently and managing multiple concurrent programs.
