UI/UX Engineer

We are hiring a UX Engineer who will operate at the intersection of user experience, software engineering, and tactical systems. In this role, you'll help shape how real-time geospatial data is delivered to operators in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments-directly supporting mission-critical capabilities.

This is not a traditional UX role. Your work will influence tools used in real-world operations, where clarity, speed, and reliability matter.

What You'll Do

Design for Mission Execution

Create intuitive, operator-focused interfaces across ATAK (Android), WinTAK (Windows), and TAK Server

Turn complex workflows into clear, actionable user experiences for high-pressure environments Build Cross-Platform Solutions

Develop modular, reusable UI components for consistency across mobile and desktop platforms

Support seamless data interoperability across distributed TAK nodes Visualize Complex Data

Convert real-time geospatial and streaming data into clear, usable visualizations

Design experiences that reduce cognitive load for both field operators and mission analysts Extend TAK Capabilities

Build and enhance TAK plugins using Java or Kotlin

Integrate new functionality into existing TAK environments with minimal disruption Optimize for Tactical Environments

Configure systems for air-gapped and DIL (Disconnected, Intermittent, Low-bandwidth) conditions

Ensure performance and usability in resource-constrained, austere environments What You'll Bring

Active Top Secret (TS) clearance (TS/SCI preferred)

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, or a related field

3-5 years of UX/UI development experience

Hands-on experience with ATAK, WinTAK, or TAK Server in operational or enterprise environments

Strong development skills in Java and at least one modern front-end framework (React, Angular, or Vue)

Experience integrating front-end applications with APIs and complex data streams

Proficiency with GitLab or similar version control systems Nice to Have

Experience supporting U.S. Army, DoD, or other mission-focused programs

Proficiency in Kotlin, Python, or Ruby for plugin development and system integration

Familiarity with Cursor-on-Target (CoT) messaging and TAK Data Packages

Experience building high-performance, Java-based UI applications

Working knowledge of SQL or MongoDB for operational data management
