Senior UX Engineer

About Gradera Gradera defines a new category of enterprise transformation called Software-Orchestrated Services™ - where software orchestrates human expertise, digital workers, and enterprise systems to deliver governed outcomes at scale. As an AI Native Services firm, we help enterprises redesign how work gets done across operations, product, engineering, customer experience, data, and enterprise workflows to move beyond fragmented AI pilots and disconnected automation toward measurable business outcomes.

Overview We are seeking a high-caliber

Senior UX Engineer to join our Digital Twin Platform and Simulation team. In this role, you will be the technical anchor for the design squad, ensuring that our simulation-ready platforms are built to the highest standards of engineering excellence. We are looking for a specialist who can work independently to bridge the gap between complex simulation data and intuitive, human-centric design.

Key Responsibilities

• Low-Level Design (LLD) for UX: Create detailed interaction specs, wireframes, and task flows that account for the technical constraints of real-time simulation engines.
• Design System Governance: Build and maintain a robust, accessible component library in Figma that aligns with Material UI guidelines and supports our digital twin ecosystem.
• GIS Interface Design: Design specialized UI patterns for ESRI GIS integrations, focusing on map-based interactions, layer management, and spatial data clarity.
• Autonomous Prototyping: Independently develop advanced interactive prototypes that demonstrate complex simulation states, including real-time alerts and time-series data transitions.
• Usability & Research: Lead user research sessions and usability testing with simulation engineers to identify friction points in the digital twin workflow.
• Design Workshops: Facilitate collaborative design sprints and workshops to align stakeholders on product vision and user-centric priorities.
• Accessibility Leadership: Audit and implement WCAG-compliant design patterns, ensuring the platform is usable for all profiles across the organization.
• Developer Collaboration: Own the handoff process, providing developers with clean assets, CSS logic, and interaction documentation to ensure pixel-perfect implementation. Our Core Design & UX Stack

Preferred Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience in UX/UI design, with a strong portfolio showcasing complex data-driven applications.
• Advanced mastery of Figma, including variables, auto-layout, and complex prototyping.
• Proven ability to work independently and lead design initiatives from discovery to handoff.
• Deep understanding of Material UI principles and Responsive Design for high-density data dashboards.
• Strong experience in Interaction Design specifically for technical or industrial software.
• Excellent communication skills for presenting design rationale to technical architects and business stakeholders.

Highly Desirable

• Experience designing for Digital Twin, IoT, or Simulation platforms.
• Familiarity with ESRI GIS UI patterns and geospatial data visualization.
• Basic understanding of React/TypeScript to facilitate better collaboration with Frontend Engineers.
• Experience working in scaling design processes within product-led organizations.
• Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is a plus.
