Design user experiences for complex, data-driven applications, supporting scientific, regulatory, and analytical workflows
Translate complex environmental datasets, scientific values, calculations, and business rules into intuitive, usable interfaces that support accuracy, transparency, and decision-making
Collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and product owners to design UX solutions aligned with system architecture, data models, and application logic
Develop wireframes, user flows, and prototypes that reflect real system behaviors, including validations, calculations, edge cases, and error handling
Design interfaces for data-heavy views such as dashboards, forms, tables, filters, comparisons, and analytical tools
Ensure UX designs support data integrity, traceability, and auditability, especially for regulatory and compliance-driven systems
Incorporate accessibility (Section 508 / WCAG) requirements into complex application components, not just static pages
Participate in requirements analysis and discovery to understand scientific workflows, user roles, and operational constraints
Identify and resolve usability challenges that arise from complex system interactions, performance considerations, and evolving data requirements
Present design concepts and rationale to internal teams and government stakeholders, clearly explaining how UX decisions support complex system use cases
Requirements
8+ years of professional experience as a UI/UX Designer, Product Designer, or similar role focused on complex, data-driven applications
Demonstrated experience designing UX for enterprise systems, analytical tools, or workflow-based applications (not solely content or marketing websites)
2+ years of experience with modern design and prototyping tool Figma
Experience creating wireframes, user flows, interaction models, and high-fidelity prototypes that reflect real system behavior
Experience designing data-heavy interfaces, including tables, dashboards, forms, filters, and validation-driven workflows
Familiarity with accessibility standards (Section 508 and WCAG) and applying them to complex application components
Strong analytical skills with the ability to understand and design for business rules, calculations, validations, and edge cases
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly explain design decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
