Senior UX Designer

About the role

We are looking for a Senior UX Designer who brings deep craft, genuine curiosity about energy systems, and hands-on experience building AI-native products. This is not a traditional enterprise UX role; you will be shaping how energy analysts, grid planners, and market traders interact with complex simulation data and intelligent tools. You will work alongside product managers, engineers, and domain experts to design experiences for one of the most consequential industries in the world. The right candidate is deeply skilled in UX fundamentals and heuristics, comfortable operating at the intersection of AI, complex data visualization, and energy/power domain workflows, and actively uses AI tools and vibe-coding as part of their design practice.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end UX for complex, data-intensive features across PLEXOS, Aurora, Adapt2, and PLEXOS Intelligence, from discovery through delivery and iteration.
• Apply UX heuristics and principles rigorously: cognitive load reduction in dashboards, simulation builders, and results visualization.
• Design AI-native user experiences: including conversational interfaces, AI copilot features, intelligent recommendations, and human-in-the-loop workflows within energy modeling platforms.
• Use vibe-coding actively in your workflow: leverage tools like Figma Make, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar AI coding assistants to rapidly prototype and iterate on interactive design concepts, reducing the gap between idea and testable artifact.
• Conduct user research with domain experts and customers: interview grid planners, energy traders, regulatory analysts, and system operators to extract mental models and design for expert users with specialized workflows.
• Define and evolve the design system: maintain component libraries, interaction patterns, and design tokens across products to ensure consistency and scalability in Figma and implementation.
• Translate data into intuitive visualizations: design charts, scenario comparison views, time-series dashboards, and workflows
• Partner cross-functionally: collaborate with engineering, data science, product, and customer success to ensure designs are technically feasible, user-validated, and business-aligned.
• Champion design quality and UX maturity: conduct design reviews, run usability testing sessions, present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders, and contribute to a culture of craft within the product team.
• Required Qualifications
• 5-8 years of UX design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design, research, information architecture, interaction design, and visual design. Expert in Figma.
• Deep working knowledge of UX heuristics and principles: Can apply these to critique and justify design decisions.
• Hands-on experience with AI design and coding tools: Actively uses tools such as Figma Make, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, or similar to prototype, iterate, and build interactive concepts faster.
• Experience designing complex data visualizations: dashboards, t
