SAIC is seeking an experienced UX Designer to support a mission-critical modernization program delivering a modular, adaptable software suite of essential capabilities across multiple warfighting functions. In this role, you will serve as the creative and technical authority responsible for designing intuitive, mission-effective user experiences that bridge the gap between complex operational requirements and accessible, high-performance software interfaces.

This position operates across cloud and tactical edge environments, supporting UX design, prototyping, and validation across the full software development lifecycle — from initial concept through fielding — in both garrison and deployed settings, including Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Low Bandwidth (DDIL) environments.

The work is to be performed at the customer site at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD.

This role is contingent upon award news in Fall 2026.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and deliver end-to-end user experience solutions including wireframes, prototypes, interaction models, and high-fidelity design specifications that address complex operational workflows across cloud and tactical edge environments
Translate user research findings, operational requirements, and mission context into intuitive interface designs that optimize task performance, reduce cognitive load, and minimize training requirements for operational end-users
Serve as the primary design authority, collaborating with UX researchers, requirements analysts, and development teams to ensure Human System Integration (HSI) principles and UI/UX best practices are embedded throughout the software development lifecycle
Evaluate and validate platform usability including navigation, workflow efficiency, data visualization, symbology rendering, and overall user experience against operational requirements and end-user needs across multiple security domains
Support design and validation of tactical edge interface configurations, ensuring UX solutions account for operations in DDIL environments including degraded connectivity, constrained hardware, and high-stress operational contexts
Participate in product demonstrations, design reviews, and agile development cycles, providing rapid design iteration and user-centered assessment of solution compliance and operational utility
Collaborate with vendors, partners, field researchers, and Government stakeholders to ensure design solutions are grounded in validated user research, accurately communicated, and translated into verifiable interface requirements
