We blend human-centered design, business strategy, engineering, and our proprietary Psycho-Aesthetics® methodology to create products, services, and experiences that resonate emotionally and perform commercially. Our team works end-to-end, from insight and strategy to design, engineering, and go-to-market execution.\nJob Summary\nWe are seeking a mid-level UI/UX Designer who understands people as deeply as interfaces. At RKS, human-centered design begins with understanding people’s needs, motivations, aspirations, and behaviors-and translating that understanding into experiences that are intuitive, meaningful, and emotionally engaging.\nYou will apply Psycho-Aesthetics® (P/A), RKS’s proprietary human-centered design strategy methodology, alongside Eydora, our AI-powered strategy and decision-support platform, to turn research into clear design direction. This requires looking beyond usability to understand how an experience builds confidence, expresses identity, earns trust, and helps people achieve their goals. (eydora.ai)\nWorking across embedded touchscreens, device displays, companion mobile apps, web platforms, and software tools, you will connect digital interactions with the physical products and services around them. You will collaborate with Industrial Design, Engineering, Research, and Strategy to carry human insights through concept development, testing, and implementation.\nWhat You’ll Do\nUnderstand people and context: Explore users’ needs, behaviors, emotional motivations, and aspirations, including the environments in which they interact with products.\nApply Psycho-Aesthetics®: Translate research, personas, P/A mapping, and opportunity insights into interface priorities, interaction behaviors, and experience journeys.\nIncorporate Eydora into the design process: Use Eydora to support research synthesis, explore opportunities, examine assumptions, and inform design decisions, applying professional judgment and validating ideas with users.\nDesign end-to-end experiences: Create user flows, information architecture, wireframes, and interactive prototypes for apps, web platforms, and on-device interfaces.\nCraft purposeful UI: Develop polished visual designs, icons, and interaction details that support accessibility, reflect each client’s brand, and connect with the product’s physical design language.\nDesign for connected products: Create coherent experiences across embedded displays, touchscreens, physical controls, and companion applications, working within hardware and technical constraints.\nBuild and maintain design systems: Develop reusable components, interaction patterns, style guides, and specifications that keep experiences consistent and scalable.\nTest functional and emotional outcomes: Evaluate whether people can use an experience effectively and whether it creates the intended understanding, confidence, trust, and engagement.\nCollaborate through implementation: Work closely with designers, engineers, and software developers to preserve the human-centered intent as concepts become working products.\nPrepare developer handoff: Deliver clear specifications, annotated designs, and assets, and support developers through implementation and design verification.\nCommunicate design rationale: Present concepts in client workshops and design reviews, connecting recommendations to human insights, P/A strategy, business goals, and testing findings.\nRequirements\nWhat We’re Looking For\nBachelor’s degree in Interaction Design, UX Design, Graphic Design, HCI, or a related field.\n5+ years of professional UI/UX design experience, ideally within a design agency or consultancy.\nStrong portfolio showing end-to-end UX process and polished UI work across mobile, web, and/or embedded interfaces.\nExpert proficiency in Figma; experience with prototyping tools such as ProtoPie, Principle, or similar.\nSolid understanding of interaction design, information architecture, accessibility, and usability principles.\nExperience building and working within design systems.\nExperience conducting usability testing and applying research findings to design decisions.\nStrong communication and presentation skills; comfortable collaborating with designers, engineers, developers, and clients.\nAbility to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience designing interfaces for physical or connected products (IoT, consumer electronics, appliances, medical devices)\nExperience with medical device UI and usability / human factors standards a plus\nMotion / micro-interaction design skills a plus\nBasic front-end knowledge (HTML/CSS) a plus\nConsulting / Agency experience is highly preferred\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance\nDental Insurance\nPaid holidays\n401 K as defined in the employee handbook\nSick leave\nVacation","description_format":"text","description_chars":4995,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Dental insurance","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Design"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T00:13:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rks-design-uiux-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rks-design-uiux-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T23:38:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31690,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4422626},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4422626"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frks-design-uiux-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frks-design-uiux-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frks-design-uiux-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rks-design-uiux-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frks-design-uiux-designer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4208129}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rksdesign.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4208129},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
