UX Engineer - Senior

About Gradera — Digital Twin & Physical AI Platform 

At Gradera, we are building a next-generation Digital Twin and Physical AI platform that enables enterprises to model, simulate, and optimize complex real-world systems. Our work brings together strategy, architecture, data, simulation, and experience design to power decision-making across large-scale operational environments such as manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain networks. 

 

This platform-led initiative applies AI-native execution, advanced simulation, and governed orchestration to help organizations test scenarios, predict outcomes, and continuously improve performance. We operate with an enterprise-first mindset prioritizing reliability, transparency, and measurable business impact as we build intelligent systems that scale beyond a single industry or use case. 

UX Engineer – Senior 

Overview 

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior UX Engineer to join our Digital Twin Platform and Simulation team. In this role, you will be the technical anchor for the design squad, ensuring that our simulation-ready platforms are built to the highest standards of engineering excellence. We are looking for a specialist who can work independently to bridge the gap between complex simulation data and intuitive, human-centric design. 

Our Core Design & UX Stack 

Design & Prototyping 

• Figma (Advanced) for high-fidelity prototyping, design systems, and modular component design 

• Material UI (MUI) design guidelines for consistent, scalable interface patterns 

• Prototyping tools for simulating real-time data flows and interaction models 
  

Research & Strategy 

• User Research & Usability Testing methodologies to validate simulation workflows 

• Design Workshops for requirement discovery and cross-functional ideation 

• Interaction Design focused on complex data manipulation and 3D/Spatial contexts 

Standards & Delivery 

• ESRI GIS UI patterns for geospatial data visualization and mapping interfaces 

• Accessibility (WCAG) standards to ensure inclusive digital twin experiences 

• Design-to-Developer Handoff processes using tokens and structured documentation 

Key Responsibilities 

• Low-Level Design (LLD) for UX: Create detailed interaction specs, wireframes, and task flows that account for the technical constraints of real-time simulation engines. 

• Design System Governance: Build and maintain a robust, accessible component library in Figma that aligns with Material UI guidelines and supports our digital twin ecosystem. 

• GIS Interface Design: Design specialized UI patterns for ESRI GIS integrations, focusing on map-based interactions, layer management, and spatial data clarity. 

• Autonomous Prototyping: Independently develop advanced interactive prototypes that demonstrate complex simulation states, including real-time alerts and time-series data transitions. 

• Usability & Research: Lead user research sessions and usability testing with simulation engineers to identify friction points in the digital twin workflow. 

• Design Workshops: Facilitate collaborative design sprints and workshops to align stakeholders on product vision and user-centric priorities. 

• Accessibility Leadership: Audit and implement WCAG-compliant design patterns, ensuring the platform is usable for all profiles across the organization. 

• Developer Collaboration: Own the handoff process, providing developers with clean assets, CSS logic, and interaction documentation to ensure pixel-perfect implementation.
   

Preferred Qualifications 

• 8+ years of professional experience in UX/UI design, with a strong portfolio showcasing complex data-driven applications. 

• Advanced mastery of Figma, including variables, auto-layout, and complex prototyping. 

• Proven ability to work independently and lead design initiatives from discovery to handoff. 

• Deep understanding of Material UI principles and Responsive Design for high-density data dashboards. 

• Strong experience in Interaction Design specifically for technical or industrial software. 

• Excellent communication skills for presenting design rationale to technical architects and business stakeholders. 
  
  

Highly Desirable 

• Experience designing for Digital Twin, IoT, or Simulation platforms. 

• Familiarity with ESRI GIS UI patterns and geospatial data visualization. 

• Basic understanding of React/TypeScript to facilitate better collaboration with Frontend Engineers. 

• Experience working in scaling design processes within product-led organizations. 

• Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is a plus.
