- Support continuous UX improvement through feedback loops and usability metrics (e.g., System Usability Scale scores, task success rates).
- Develop modular, responsive UI components based on U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) 3.0 and DOD-specific branding standards.
- Ensure mobile-first, accessible design for web and mobile platforms, meeting WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 compliance.
- Integrate analytics and dashboards (Kibana, Oracle Analytics) to support real-time decision-making and user experience improvements.
- Embed in-app guidance (Oracle Guided Learning) and AI-powered support (Oracle Digital Assistant) for training and onboarding.
- Ensure all designs comply with DOD cybersecurity, accessibility, and audit requirements.
Required Skills & Experience
- DOD Secret Clearance and U.S. Citizenship.
- 3+ years of experience in UX design, including enterprise-scale applications.
