Junior UX Designer (Onsite: Houston, TX)

We are seeking a Junior UX Designer on a long-term contract to support mission-critical digital products for real-time drilling operations. You will embed directly with the UX team, working within an established design system alongside senior designers and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver clear, efficient interfaces for field engineers and operations personnel.

• Pay Rate: $27.65 – $31.53/hour, depending on experience.
• Assignment Length: 12-month contract with a high possibility of extension and/or conversion based on performance and other factors.
• Shift Details: Monday - Friday | 40+hrs

Responsibilities

• Design wireframes, user flows, interaction models, and high-fidelity prototypes for enterprise web applications.
• Collaborate with product owners, engineers, and subject matter experts to translate complex operational workflows into intuitive UI.
• Participate in user research, usability testing, and design critiques.
• Contribute to and maintain components within the Design System (Figma + Angular/PrimeNG).
• Use AI-assisted coding tools to rapidly prototype and validate design concepts in-browser — GitHub Copilot (required); Claude (preferred); familiarity with browser-based AI builders such as Bolt or v0 a plus.
• Deliver design specs, annotations, and developer handoff documentation via Figma.
• Support accessibility reviews and ensure designs meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• Participate in agile ceremonies within a sprint-based development environment.

Qualifications

Required:

• 2–5 years of UX/product design experience, preferably in enterprise or SaaS environments.
• Strong Figma proficiency — components, auto layout, variables, prototyping.
• Demonstrated ability to produce wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes.
• Experience working with or contributing to a design system.
• Working knowledge of AI-assisted prototyping — GitHub Copilot (required); ability to generate functional HTML/CSS/JS prototypes; familiarity with browser-based AI builders such as Bolt or v0 a plus.
• Understanding of front-end fundamentals sufficient to prototype and collaborate effectively with engineers.
• Portfolio demonstrating UX process, problem framing, and design rationale — not just polished visuals.

Preferred:

• Experience with Angular or Prime NG component libraries.
• Familiarity with data-dense dashboard or operational UI.
• Exposure to Token Studio, Figma Variables, or design token pipelines.
• Background in industrial, O&G, or engineering software.

Skills & Competencies

• User research & synthesis — interviews, usability testing, affinity mapping.
• Information architecture & interaction design.
• Visual design fundamentals — typography, spacing, hierarchy, color.
• Design system contribution — not just consumption.
• AI-assisted prototyping — core expectation, not a bonus.
• Clear communication and ability to present and defend design decisions.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and iterating quickly.
