Senior UX/UI and Spatial Experience Designer

Position Overview

The Senior UX/UI & Spatial Experience Designer will spearhead research, design, prototyping, and validation efforts for digital solutions created within the AI and Innovation program. This role focuses on crafting intuitive, accessible interfaces for a variety of applications including enterprise software, AI assistants, operational dashboards, passenger-facing platforms, digital signage, kiosks, mapping tools, spatial data platforms, and 3D visualization environments. Partnership with engineers and operational stakeholders is critical to transform conceptual ideas into fully developed products.

Key Duties

• Conduct user research including interviews, observations, workshops, and usability testing with employees and operational teams.
• Convert user requirements and business workflows into comprehensive journey maps, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and detailed design specifications that support measurable outcomes.
• Create responsive, accessible designs for multiple platforms such as web, mobile, desktop, kiosks, digital signage, and operational apps.
• Collaborate across the product lifecycle with engineers, architects, cybersecurity experts, and business units to ensure accurate, feasible implementation of designs.
• Develop user experiences for AI-based features including copilots, conversational agents, intelligent assistants, automated workflows, and human approval processes.
• Clearly represent AI capabilities, constraints, confidence levels, source information, error messages, approval steps, and escalation routes within the designs.
• Build, document, and maintain reusable UI components, design patterns, templates, visual standards, and comprehensive style guides.
• Design complex data visualizations including dashboards, maps, charts, alerts, and decision-support interfaces aligned with branding and accessibility standards (WCAG and public sector requirements).
• Validate designs via usability testing, implementation reviews, and operational environment observations.
• Create high-quality 3D models, animations, and spatial visualizations using Blender and associated professional tools.
• Design visual experiences for infrastructure such as terminals, buildings, roadways, transportation networks, and passenger flows including digital twins, wayfinding systems, training simulations, and operational planning tools.
• Integrate GIS, BIM, floor plans, assets, sensor data, and operational datasets into interactive spatial visualizations and concepts.
• Prepare and optimize 3D assets for web applications, real-time engines, AR/VR platforms, digital signage, presentations, and interactive prototypes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in User Experience Design, Interaction Design, Product Design, HCI, Digital Media, Architecture, Computer Science, GIS, Game Design, or related discipline; equivalent professional experience and a strong portfolio may be accepted.
• Minimum of 5 years progressive experience in UI/UX, product/interactions design, or digital product development.
• Proven track record collaborating with software engineers throughout product discovery and implementation cycles.
• Experience designing AI-enabled products, complex enterprise workflows, operational systems, conversational interfaces, and data visualizations is highly preferred.
• Proficiency with Blender for creating 3D models, environments, animations, and spatial visualizations.
• Advanced skills with Figma or similar UI design tools, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Blender covering modeling, materials, lighting, rendering, animation, optimization, and export workflows.
• Deep understanding of user research methods, interaction design principles, information architecture, responsive design, accessibility standards, design systems, usability testing, and engineer collaboration.
• Familiarity with AI interaction paradigms including agent workflows, human oversight, data visualization, GIS, BIM, spatial data technologies, WebGL, Three.js, Unity, Unreal Engine, or equivalents preferred.
• Basic knowledge of frontend technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React to facilitate collaboration with development teams.
• A strong portfolio showcasing applications in AI workflows, operational data visualization, and advanced 3D/spatial design is essential.
