Peraton is seeking a UX Analyst to support the DFAS environment by delivering modern, user-centered digital experiences across web and mobile applications.

This is a hands-on UX role focused on moving rapidly from requirements and user needs to high-fidelity, interactive experiences. The UX Analyst will use Figma, AI-assisted design and research tools, design systems, rapid prototyping, usability validation, and accessibility practices to transform complex requirements into intuitive, development-ready solutions.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly within Agile product teams and can use AI to accelerate—not replace—UX thinking, research synthesis, design exploration, documentation, accessibility evaluation, and prototyping.

The role requires someone who can take an experience from concept to high-fidelity prototype to development handoff, while collaborating closely with product owners, stakeholders, developers, and end users.

This position is 100% remote.

Responsibilities:

• Support the full UX lifecycle from discovery, requirements analysis, and user research through high-fidelity design, interactive prototyping, validation, development handoff, and implementation review.
• Translate business, mission, technical, and user requirements into clear user journeys, task flows, experience maps, information architecture, and interface solutions.
• Create high-fidelity Figma screens and interactive prototypes that accurately demonstrate intended workflows, interactions, responsive behaviour, states, and user…
