MORI Associates

Shape the Future of NASA Aeronautics Data Applications with MORI Associates
At MORI Associates , we support some of the nation's most innovative scientific and engineering missions. We are seeking a talented UX/UI Designer to join the Digital Innovation & Integration Service Capability (DIISC) team within NASA's Aerospace Capabilities Portfolio Office (ACPO).
This is a unique opportunity to become the founding UX/UI design lead for a growing software development team that creates the analytics applications NASA's aeronautics community uses to explore test data, forecasts, financial information, and operational insights.
If you're passionate about transforming complex data into intuitive user experiences and excited by the challenge of building a design practice from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you. About the Role
The DIISC team develops sophisticated, data-intensive software applications that support NASA researchers, engineers, analysts, and decisionmakers. As the team's first dedicated UX/UI Designer, you will own the end-to-end user experience strategy and execution across multiple analytics platforms.
This is more than a design role. You'll establish the team's design culture, create the foundational design system, define user personas, lead research efforts, and design the interfaces through which users interact with critical scientific and operational data.
The ideal candidate has extensive experience designing analytics-driven products , not just websites or marketing experiences. You understand how people consume and interact with complex data and can transform that complexity into elegant, effective user experiences. What You'll Do
Build the Design Foundation
Create and maintain the team's design system from the ground up, including components, patterns, standards, and documentation.
Establish design governance and best practices that become the foundation for future application development.
Serve as the authoritative source for UI consistency and usability standards.
Lead User Research & Persona Development
Define user personas and user needs from scratch.
Plan, facilitate, and synthesize user research activities.
Translate findings into actionable design recommendations and product improvements.
Champion the voice of the user throughout the development lifecycle.
Design Data-Driven Experiences
Create high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and production-ready designs for:
Dashboards
Data tables
Data visualizations
Reporting interfaces
Analytics platforms
Complex data-exploration workflows
Design intuitive workflows that enable users to discover, analyze, and act on information efficiently.
Transform Data into Insight
Design meaningful visual representations of complex and technical information.
Select and implement visualization approaches that support user goals and decision-making.
Improve clarity, usability, and accessibility across data-centric applications.
Drive UX Excellence
Develop user flows, journey maps, wireframes, interaction models, and other UX deliverables.
Present, explain, and defend design recommendations to stakeholders and technical teams.
Continuously improve usability through iterative design and feedback.
Collaborate Across Disciplines
Partner closely with software engineers, data scientists, analysts, researchers, and program leadership.
Translate business and technical requirements into user-centered solutions.
Help bridge the gap between technical complexity and user needs.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), User Experience Design, or a related discipline; equivalent professional experience will also be considered.
Eight years of related experience
Demonstrated experience where the primary body of work involves analytics-focused, data-intensive applications , including:
Dashboards
Data tables
Data visualization
Reporting systems
Analytics platforms
Data-exploration workflows
Strong portfolio showcasing complex data-driven product design work.
Proven expertise in data visualization and communicating technical information clearly through design.
Advanced proficiency with Figma .
Experience creating a design system from the ground up , including standards, documentation, and reusable components.
Experience defining user personas and conducting user research that directly influences product design.
Strong visual design, interaction design, and information architecture skills.
Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to make and justify design decisions independently.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
US citizenship
Preferred Qualifications
Strong data literacy and the ability to understand data structures, relationships, and sources without serving in a formal data analyst role.
Experience designing software for scientific, engineering, technical, or government environments.
Ability to quickly learn complex technical domains and translate them into intuitive user experiences.
Familiarity with accessibility standards and best practices for enterprise applications.
Experience collaborating within Agile software development teams.
Why Join MORI Associates?
Work on impactful applications that support NASA's aeronautics mission.
Become the founding UX/UI design leader on a highly visible team.
Influence products from concept through implementation.
Collaborate with talented engineers, scientists, analysts, and innovators.
Fully remote work environment with meaningful mission-driven projects.
Opportunity to establish and mature a design practice with lasting organizational impact.
Ready to Build the Future of NASA Analytics?
If you're a designer who thrives in complex, data-rich environments and wants the opportunity to create a design function from the ground up, we encourage you to apply.
Join MORI Associates and help transform how NASA's aeronautics community discovers, understands, and uses critical data.
Equal Opportunity Employer
MORI Associates is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive workplace where all employees are valued and respected.
