UI/UX Designer

Position Overview

We are seeking a talented and curious UI/UX Designer to join a small, high-impact UX/UI team embedded within a world-class Product Development Engineering environment. In this role, you will design the machine display interfaces that heavy equipment operators rely on every day — work that directly influences safety, efficiency, and operator experience in real-world construction environments.

This is a unique opportunity to apply human-centered design principles to complex, high-stakes systems, pushing your expertise in human factors, usability, and interface design well beyond what traditional UI roles demand.

Key Contributions & Responsibilities

• Analyze and understand how operators interact with construction equipment in real-world environments to inform design decisions.
• Collaborate with users and internal team members to understand, capture, and define project requirements.
• Develop UI concept layouts based on available display screen sizes and the information needs of internal and external customers.
• Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes that meet project requirements, satisfy strategic consistency initiatives, and deliver preferred operator experiences.
• Design intuitive, user-centered interfaces for next-generation machine displays.
• Partner with cross-functional teams throughout the value chain to evolve concepts into mature, validated, production-ready designs.
• Collaborate with the UI Architect and cross-functional product group teams to align on project requirements and user needs.
• Engage with Enterprise UI Designers and Architects to promote strategic design consistency across divisional products.

Team Structure & Work Environment

• You will be part of a matrix organization within a small, collaborative UX/UI team that supports multiple Product Groups across the business.
• Day-to-day work takes place in a large, modern office where all disciplines of Product Development Engineering are co-located — directly alongside the construction machines being designed for.
• The role offers consistent interaction with engineers, product managers, UI architects, and equipment operators, creating a rich, cross-disciplinary work environment.

Requirements

Education & Experience

• 0–2 years of relevant UI/UX design experience (internship experience accepted).
• Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in UX/UI Design, Human Factors, Psychology, Ergonomics, or a related discipline preferred; a 2-year Associate’s Degree is acceptable.
• Experience in UI development for Off-Road or Heavy Equipment displays is a strong differentiator.

Top Technical Skills

• UI Design experience, ideally including interface development for industrial or off-road heavy equipment displays.
• Proficiency in Figma for wireframing, prototyping, simulations, and specification documentation.
• Experience collaborating with software engineers on UI design and product design architecture.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

Desired Technical Skills

• Experience gathering and synthesizing feedback from off-road or heavy equipment operators.
• Working knowledge of Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles with demonstrated ability to apply them in product design.

Required Soft Skills

• Strong ability to collaborate within a cross-functional team environment.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Commitment to technical excellence in all deliverables.
• Self-driven initiative and genuine intellectual curiosity.

Desired Soft Skills

• Detail-oriented with a strong eye for aesthetics, visual hierarchy, and styling.
• High creative capability with the discipline to design within established design system frameworks.
• Demonstrated emotional intelligence and interpersonal effectiveness.
