The UX Analyst will use Figma, AI-assisted design and research tools, design systems, rapid prototyping, usability validation, and accessibility practices to transform complex requirements into intuitive, development-ready solutions.\nThe ideal candidate is comfortable working directly within Agile product teams and can use AI to accelerate-not replace-UX thinking, research synthesis, design exploration, documentation, accessibility evaluation, and prototyping.\nThe role requires someone who can take an experience from concept to high-fidelity prototype to development handoff, while collaborating closely with product owners, stakeholders, developers, and end users.\nThis position is 100% remote.\nResponsibilities:\nSupport the full UX lifecycle from discovery, requirements analysis, and user research through high-fidelity design, interactive prototyping, validation, development handoff, and implementation review.\nTranslate business, mission, technical, and user requirements into clear user journeys, task flows, experience maps, information architecture, and interface solutions.\nCreate high-fidelity Figma screens and interactive prototypes that accurately demonstrate intended workflows, interactions, responsive behavior, states, and user outcomes.\nUse AI-assisted UX workflows to accelerate research synthesis, requirements analysis, concept exploration, content development, accessibility review, prototyping, and design iteration.\nApply strong UX judgment to validate and refine AI-generated concepts rather than relying on AI-generated output without human review.\nDevelop and maintain Figma component libraries, variables, reusable patterns, templates, and design-system components that promote consistency and accelerate delivery.\nCreate UX artifacts as appropriate, including user journeys, personas, workflows, information architecture, experience maps, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, storyboards, and design specifications.\nConduct and synthesize user research and stakeholder discovery through interviews, surveys, observation, contextual inquiry, usability testing, heuristic evaluations, and other appropriate research methods.\nPlan, facilitate, and analyze usability testing using interactive prototypes and working applications; translate findings into actionable design recommendations.\nRapidly iterate concepts using high-fidelity prototypes and AI-enabled prototyping techniques to allow stakeholders and users to experience proposed solutions before development investment.\nDesign responsive experiences for desktop, tablet, and mobile environments, considering device capabilities, user context, interaction methods, and platform conventions.\nEnsure designs meet applicable Section 508 and WCAG accessibility requirements, incorporating accessibility into the design process rather than treating compliance as a final review activity.\nDesign accessible interaction patterns including keyboard navigation, focus behavior, semantic structure, form interactions, error handling, color contrast, responsive behavior, and assistive-technology considerations.\nApply established organizational design systems and standards, including U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) patterns when applicable.\nCollaborate directly with product managers, business analysts, developers, architects, accessibility specialists, and stakeholders to ensure proposed experiences are both desirable and technically feasible.\nProvide development-ready Figma specifications and assets, including responsive behavior, component states, interaction logic, icons/SVGs, spacing, sizing, and design-system references.\nWork closely with front-end developers during implementation to ensure the delivered experience accurately reflects the approved UX direction.\nConduct UX implementation reviews and identify discrepancies between approved designs and developed interfaces.\nParticipate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies including planning, refinement, reviews, demonstrations, retrospectives, and UX/design critiques.\nClearly communicate and present design rationale, research findings, prototype concepts, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nThe UX Analyst should demonstrate the ability to responsibly incorporate modern AI capabilities into the UX workflow.\nThis may include using AI to:\nAnalyze and synthesize research, stakeholder feedback, and requirements.\nIdentify themes, usability issues, gaps, and potential experience opportunities.\nExplore multiple interaction and experience concepts rapidly.\nGenerate initial content, interface concepts, or design alternatives for human evaluation.\nAccelerate creation of prototypes and proof-of-concept experiences.\nAssist with accessibility analysis and design-system compliance.\nSupport UX documentation, user stories, acceptance criteria, and development handoff.\nTranslate design intent into prototype code or front-end concepts when appropriate.\nQualifications\nRequired Skills:\nBachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction, UX Design, Interaction Design, Information Technology, Computer Science, Digital Design, Psychology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience with a minimum of 4 years of progressive professional UX, product design, interaction design, usability, or related digital experience demonstrating the required capabilities.\nMust be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust.\nU.S. Citizenship required.\nProfessional UX certification such as Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g), Human Factors International (HFI), or equivalent is preferred where required by the program.\nDemonstrated portfolio of professional work showing high-fidelity interface design, interactive prototypes, user flows, design systems, responsive experiences, and implemented digital products.\nStrong experience creating high-fidelity UI designs and interactive prototypes in Figma.\nDemonstrated ability to translate ambiguous or complex requirements into intuitive digital experiences.\nStrong understanding of user-centered design, interaction design, information architecture, usability, and human-computer interaction principles.\nExperience conducting or supporting user research and usability testing.\nExperience using AI-assisted tools within UX, research, design, or prototyping workflows.\nAbility to create responsive web and mobile experiences using modern design patterns and component-based design systems.\nWorking knowledge of Section 508 and current WCAG accessibility practices.\nExperience working with design systems and reusable component libraries.\nAbility to clearly articulate design decisions and present UX concepts to customers, leadership, developers, and other stakeholders.\nStrong collaboration skills within multidisciplinary Agile product teams.\nAbility to balance user needs, mission objectives, technical constraints, accessibility requirements, and delivery timelines.\nUnderstanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern front-end development concepts sufficient to effectively collaborate with engineering teams and evaluate implementation feasibility.\nPreferred Skills:\nExperience with Figma variables, component properties, Auto Layout, responsive design, interactive components, Dev Mode, and advanced prototyping.\nExperience with AI-enabled prototyping, design-to-code, or rapid application development tools.\nExperience designing within USWDS or other enterprise/government design systems.\nExperience supporting federal government digital products or other complex enterprise environments.\nFamiliarity with accessibility evaluation tools and automated accessibility testing.\nExperience designing applications that support complex workflows, data entry, dashboards, case management, or transactional processes.\nFamiliarity with front-end frameworks and component-based development approaches.\nAbility to facilitate collaborative workshops, design reviews, stakeholder sessions, and UX discovery activities.\nPeraton Overview\nPeraton is a next-generation national security company that drives missions of consequence spanning the globe and extending to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
