About the Role

UI/UX Designer

If you're excited about building the bridge between human users and autonomous aerial platforms, this role offers the perfect blend of design depth and real-world impact.

Responsibilities

• Design and iterate user interfaces for GCS software (desktop and web) used in drone operations and mission planning.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to build user journeys, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups.
• Translate telemetry, mapping, and real-time control data into intuitive visual dashboards.
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and feedback loops with drone pilots and field testers.
• Maintain UI design systems, style guides, and component libraries.
• Ensure design consistency across drone control platforms, mobile tools, and web-based utilities.
• Work alongside frontend developers to ensure accurate design implementation across Qt, web, or hybrid platforms.
• Contribute to continuous UX improvements based on field data and mission feedback.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, UI/UX Design, or a relevant field.
• 3 to 5 years of experience in UI/UX design, preferably in aerospace, robotics, automotive, or technical software.
• Proficient in tools like Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or similar.
