If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know.
What you'll do:
Engage in end-to-end design of HMI systems for UAV ground control station displays
Translate complex system requirements into clear, intuitive, and safety-critical user interfaces
Develop wireframes, user flows, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma
Collaborate cross-functionally with systems engineers, pilots/operators, software developers, and human factors experts
Apply human factors engineering principles to optimize usability, workload, and situational awareness
Design for real-time data visualization, including telemetry, navigation, sensor fusion, and mission planning tools
Conduct usability testing, simulations, and iterative design validation
Contribute to and maintain a design system and component library within Figma for consistency and scalability
Work with other designers to help establish best practices in HMI/UX design
Required qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
5+ years of professional experience designing HMI/UX for aerospace, defense, or other commercial applications.
Expert-level proficiency in Figma (component systems, prototyping, design systems)
Strong understanding of:
Human factors
Cognitive workload and situational awareness
Real-time system interfaces and data visualization
Experience working with cross-disciplinary engineering teams
Ability to handle complex, ambiguous problem spaces and translate them into usable designs
Preferred qualifications:
Demonstrated experience designing interfaces for:
Aircraft cockpits (manned) and/or Unmanned systems / Ground Control Stations (GCS).
Experience designing for multi-screen, touch, and hardware-integrated interfaces
Knowledge of simulation environments or operator-in-the-loop testing
Background in designing for degraded environments or high-stress operational contexts
Familiarity with additional tools (e.g., Adobe CC, Principle, Framer), but Figma expertise is strongly prioritized
