Software Engineer (UI/UX)

Arcfield is seeking a UI/UX Software Engineer to design and develop intuitive user interfaces for advanced tactical edge systems. The role involves creating actionable visualizations from complex data and modernizing military standards for user experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop the user interfaces that display NAVWAR situational awareness, PNT health, and system status directly to expeditionary operators
• Architect a modern, decoupled UI framework (e.g., React/Typescript, Qt/QML, or Android/ATAK plugins) that can be easily ported across various military hardware hosts, ranging from low-power tablets to integrated platform displays
• Write the frontend software that efficiently consumes high-rate, asynchronous data streams
• Implement DOD interface and symbology standards (like MIL-STD-2525) while advocating for and executing a modern, consumer-grade user experience

Requirements:

• BS 8-10, MS 6-8, PhD 3-5 (Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field)
• Experience in UI/UX software development, with a strong portfolio of building responsive, data-heavy applications
• Expertise in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, TypeScript) or cross-platform embedded UI tools (e.g., modern Qt/C++)
• Demonstrated experience handling live, high-frequency data streams within a UI
• Deep passion for user-centric design, specifically minimizing cognitive load for users in high-stress, operational environments
• Familiarity with military UI/UX standards, including MIL-STD-2525 symbology
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD Secret Security Clearance
