Are you looking for a new design challenge? Do you want to make a difference? Raytheon Technologies is seeking a UX/UI Design Engineer to join our Advanced UX Team to apply advanced user experience design solutions to solve complex problems for the end users of our decision-critical systems.At Raytheon, our UX/UI Design Engineers solve the most challenging User-Centered Design (UCD) problems for mission critical systems using iterative design methods. A Raytheon UX/UI Design Engineer is responsible for the human experience of operators who use our software to accomplish their high-consequence missions. Because of this, familiarity with both UCD and Human Factors Engineering methods, especially within areas such as cognition and decision-making, is important. UI/UX Design Engineers explore user goals, tasks, workflows, and information needs within the operational environment, and use what they learn to tailor the design of the UI to meet the needs of the user, the task, and the mission, within the constraints of the customer requirements and the business value provided. They collaborate with development scrum teams as the advocate for the user to translate user research findings into efficient, effective and usable software solutions that end users WANT to use. Our Advanced UX Team solves the most challenging UX issues for high consequence missions. This includes applying the latest scientific research to solve complex issues for Human to Machine (H2M) teaming with automation, including systems that contain advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities.We are looking for someone with the passion and desire to improve user experiences and UI design. From navigation to information architecture and widgets to applications, we need a versatile digital design expert who is committed to delivering first class experiences that are bold, creative, and innovative. The UX/UI Engineer will:
• Advocate for the user, not the design
• Conduct, analyze and organize user research to discover and document user goals, decisions, and information needs, as well as tasks and workflows
• Support projects by creating interactive design wireframes that facilitate user testing and iterative design
• Write Agile development user stories (JIRA, etc.) around design features for design implementation
• Prototype new interactions, design screens, and UI solutions that deliver improved user experience
• Develop web prototypes for customer systems using wireframing tools like Axure RP. Some prototypes may be data-driven to support user testing scenarios.
• Plan, organize and set up usability tests to collect the best possible data from limited opportunities for user engagements.
• Collaborate with front-end development teams and Specialty Engineering groups to socialize design patterns and guidance. Advocate for designs that deliver best value to the user while considering ease of implementation
