UI​/UX Engineer Security Clearance

Position: UI/UX Engineer with Security Clearance
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.

* 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
* Experience building high-performance, Java-based UI applications
* 3-5 years of UX/UI development experience

* Proficiency in Kotlin, Python, or Ruby for plugin development and system integration
* Familiarity with Cursor-on-Target (CoT) messaging and TAK Data Packages
* Working knowledge of SQL or Mongo
