At Via Logic, we believe thoughtful design is more than creating visually appealing interfaces - it's about building intuitive, accessible, and meaningful experiences that help users accomplish their goals with confidence. We're looking for a UI/UX and Design Analyst who is passionate about user-centered design, research, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

In this role, you'll partner closely with users, engineers, stakeholders, and fellow design professionals to lead design sprints, conduct user research, develop wireframes and prototypes, and translate complex requirements into clear, functional, and engaging digital experiences. You'll help bridge the gap between design and development while ensuring web-based and client-server applications meet user needs, accessibility expectations, and applicable federal standards.

This role also provides the opportunity to contribute to mission-critical systems supporting the Department of Homeland Security while expanding your experience across the full design lifecycle - from discovery and usability testing through implementation, iteration, and continuous product improvement.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design Sprints & User Research: Plan and conduct design sprints, end-user research, usability testing, and reviews. Analyze user data to inform design decisions, ensuring that products are both user-friendly and compliant with client objectives.
• UI/UX Design: Provide specialized expertise in the design and layout of graphical user interfaces, focusing on screen layouts and functionality for client-server applications (e.g., Microsoft Windows presentation screens). Create intuitive, efficient, and accessible designs that enhance user experiences.
• Prototype Testing & Evaluation: Conduct studies, testing, and evaluation of screen prototypes for functionality, ease of use, efficiency, and accuracy. Iterate designs based on feedback to refine and perfect the user interface.
• Workflow Design: Design user experiences for new and existing web-based applications from concept to completion. Develop workflows and experiences that are intuitive, effective, and accessible, ensuring seamless interaction for the end user.
• Visual Communication: Communicate ideas effectively through low and high-fidelity mockups. Present design concepts and prototypes to stakeholders, incorporating feedback to improve the final product.
• Long-Term UI/UX Vision: Develop both short-term and long-term UI/UX visions for products, ensuring consistency and coherence across the user experience. Collaborate with developers and analysts to implement approved designs.
• Mentorship: May mentor and supervise other team members, providing guidance on best practices in UI/UX design and user research.

Your Required Skills and Experience:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience as a UI/UX designer, with a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in web-based and client-server application design. Experience conducting usability testing and user research. Experience in the government sector, particularly within DHS, is highly desirable.
• Skills: Proficiency in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, Figma, or similar. Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, with the ability to create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Experience with Agile methodologies and familiarity with DevSecOps environments.
• Preferred: Experience with accessibility standards and regulations, particularly in government projects. Current Public Trust clearance or ability to obtain such clearance.
