Job Title: UX Designer
Location: Washington, DC
Type: Direct Hire
Work Model: 3 days onsite
Security Clearance: DOD Secret Clearance Required

Role Overview: Actively searching for a UX Designer with an active DOD Secret Clearance to join our team.

The UX Designer will create intuitive, user-centered designs for DOD enterprise applications, focusing on usability, accessibility, and visual appeal. This role collaborates with cross-functional teams including developers, product managers, and business analysts—to deliver modern, responsive solutions that meet both user needs and federal security standards. Candidates must hold a DOD Secret Clearance and be a U.S. Citizen.

Key Job Responsibilities

  • Conduct user research (interviews, surveys, workshops, usability studies) with Soldiers, HR professionals, and commanders to capture pain points and requirements.
  • Create user personas and journey maps tailored to DOD operational environments.
  • Apply Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles throughout the design lifecycle, including research, prototyping, and usability testing.
  • Create interactive prototypes, wireframes, and user interfaces using Figma and Adobe XD.
  • Document all design artifacts (wireframes, style guides, workflows) in contract management tools and obtain approvals through DOD governance processes.
  • 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.
  • Proficiency with Figma, Adobe XD, and USWDS 3.0.
  • Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and applying HCD principles.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Familiarity with DOD HR/pay processes and enterprise application design.
  • Experience developing accessible, mobile-first, and responsive interfaces.
  • Ability to document and present design artifacts for DOD governance and approval.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Multimedia Design, or related field.
  • Experience with analytics platforms (Kibana, Oracle Analytics) and in-app guidance tools (Oracle Guided Learning).
  • Experience integrating AI-powered support and chatbots (Oracle Digital Assistant).
  • Knowledge of DOD cybersecurity, accessibility, and audit standards.
