In this role you will:
  • Lead and contribute to UI/UX design and development to influence current and future fielded Command and Control systems while advocating for end users.
  • Rapidly create wireframes, storyboards, and modern, highly intuitive interface and data visualization designs
  • Work across teams, departments, and organizations to review results, refine concepts, oversee analyses, and propose solutions with a focus on advocating for the warfighter and making sure their voice is heard.
  • Shape requirements and use cases and execute on associated Functional Flow modeling to influence the DevSecOps and Digital Engineering processes for deployment of prototyped C2 systems
  • Implement designed solutions, and maintain, test, and debug code.
  • Produce documentation to capture code framework, architecture and design decisions, and user guides.
