• Drive the design vision for your product area(s), connecting long-term user needs with near-term execution plans.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering leads to shape roadmaps, clarify goals, and define success metrics.
• Translate abstract, ambiguous challenges into clear design problems and informed recommendations.
• Own the full design lifecycle—from discovery and wireframes to detailed interaction specs and production-ready assets.
• Craft innovative experiences that balance usability, technical feasibility, and domain-specific complexity (e.g., spatial, data-rich, or mission-critical environments).
• Lead and contribute to complex feature and system-level design initiatives, ensuring cohesion and scalability across the platform.
• Conduct and integrate research, testing, and data insights into every phase of the design process.
• Partner with UX researchers, engineers, and domain experts to ground decisions in evidence and real-world behavior.
• Communicate insights through storytelling, frameworks, and documentation that foster empathy and alignment.
• Contribute to the evolution of Slingshot’s design system, UI patterns, and visual standards across platforms and teams.
• Apply a strong understanding of hierarchy, typography, motion, and layout to create intuitive and expressive interfaces.
• Maintain a high bar for craft, consistency, and accessibility.
• Collaborate fluidly with engineering, product, program, growth, sales, and marketing teams to align on vision and execution.
• Serve as a thought partner to product managers and technical leads; influence trade-offs and strategic choices.
• Champion a user-centered approach across the company, advocating for design best practices and systemic thinking.

• 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.
