- Build and maintain a comprehensive Figma-anchored design system with reusable component libraries
- Create engineering-ready design specifications that minimize design-to-development friction, regardless of source tool
- Establish design documentation standards enabling pixel-perfect, accessible implementation
- Partner with front-end engineering to ensure design deliverables meet 'engineering-ready' standard, delivering pragmatic incremental prototyping wins
- Maintain design system documentation and guidelines for consistency across product portfolio
- Work with ikeGPS Brand group to share unified resources and align design systems for a consistent user experience from the first marketing interaction through daily product use
- Create low/mid/high-fidelity prototypes appropriate to product development stage
- Design interactive prototypes for customer validation and stakeholder alignment
- Conduct usability testing and synthesize feedback into actionable design improvements
- Iterate rapidly based on customer research, technical constraints, and business requirements
- Build prototype libraries and templates that accelerate future design work
- Partner closely with Product Managers, align design with product strategy, requirements and customer value propositions
- Collaborate with Product Managers/Owners to understand technical capabilities and constraints
- Work with front-end engineering teams to ensure feasible, performant implementation
- Engage with customer success, strategic customers and external product advisors to understand real-world user workflows and pain points
- Collaborate with ikeGPS brand, designers, and marketing to share elements in the design system and component library
- Present design concepts and rationale to SVP Product, Product team, and executive stakeholders
- Participate in sprint planning and agile ceremonies to maintain alignment with development teams
- Implement and champion AI-assisted design tools across design processes
- Use LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude) for design research synthesis, content generation, and design documentation
- Leverage AI-assisted generative design and prototyping tools (such as Figma Make and Claude Design) alongside emerging design technologies to increase velocity from concept to validated prototype
- Stay current with AI design tool evolution and identify opportunities for productivity gains
- Share knowledge and best practices with product team on effective AI tool usage
Skills
- 5+ years UI/UX design experience with demonstrated expertise in complex B2B enterprise applications
- Proven track record delivering 0→1 products from concept through market launch
- Deep expertise with geospatial interfaces, map-based applications, and location intelligence products
- Strong experience designing 3D visualization interfaces and spatial data interactions
- Expert-level proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools — Figma (component libraries, design systems, auto-layout, collaborative workflows) as the current standard, plus fluency with AI-assisted generative design and prototyping tools such as Figma Make, Claude Design, or equivalent
- Demonstrated experience creating engineering-ready design specifications that accelerate development
- Portfolio showcasing sophisticated data visualization, analytics dashboards, and complex workflow designs (portfolio submission required)
- Experience integrating AI-powered design tools into production workflows — including LLMs for research synthesis and documentation, and generative design and prototyping tools such as Figma Make or Claude Design for rapid iteration
- Strong understanding of front-end development constraints and capabilities (HTML/CSS, responsive design, accessibility standards)
- Exceptional visual design skills with strong attention to typography, color, layout, and interaction details
- User research and usability testing experience with ability to synthesize insights into design decisions
- Experience with utility, telecommunications, or infrastructure industry applications
- Background in GIS applications, remote sensing platforms, or asset management systems
- Familiarity with 3D engines and frameworks (Three.js, Cesium, Unity)
- Knowledge of data-intensive applications processing imagery, LiDAR, or sensor data
- Experience designing AI/ML-powered features or computer vision applications
- Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1) and inclusive design practices
- Previous experience in high-growth or transformation environments
- Hands-on experience with HTML/CSS or front-end prototyping tools
Benefits
- 40 Hours per week
- Hybrid work environment (Broomfield, Colorado HQ preferred); remote considered for exceptional candidates, but with an expectation of quarterly onsite presence.
- Ability to travel as needed (5-10% travel for customer meetings, conferences, and team collaboration)
- Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
