Job description

Want to work on the apps used for space capabilities and cutting-edge technologies? Yes, we said space!

Rocket Communications is an enterprise UX Design company focused on designing mission-critical applications and systems. We are seeking a Colorado Springs-area Staff UX Designer with a background in research and human factors who is interested in quantitative research.

If you enjoy analyzing and synthesizing user research data into clear findings and actionable recommendations, you might be a great fit in helping us solve some of our nation's most complex space app user experience challenges. 

We are a small company dispersed across the U.S. Our work can be challenging and complex, but our team is fun, friendly, and supportive. 

This is a hybrid role in Colorado Springs, CO. Due to the nature of our work, this person needs to already have Active Secret Clearance and be willing & able to obtain TS/SCI Clearance if hired.

This role is contingent on our company winning a contract, with an estimated start date in July 2026.

About You
  • You have 10+ years of experience working in UX/UI Design in enterprise or other complex domains.
  • You are an expert in quantitative user research with a nuanced understanding of the full human-centered design process.

  • You have an Active Secret Clearance and are willing & able to obtain TS/SCI Clearance.
  • You are willing to work a hybrid schedule that includes onsite work in Colorado Springs, CO.
  • You are a US Citizen who lives in the USA (due to Rocket's work with local and federal government agencies this is a firm requirement).
$127,000 - $185,000 a year

The compensation package features an annual revenue bonus, contingent upon the company's financial success for the year.

Rocket Communications determines the salary range for positions using local, national, and industry-specific survey data. We evaluate external and internal equity and the cost of labor/prevailing wage index in the relative marketplace for jobs directly comparable to jobs within our company.
