- Design wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity UI for web (and optionally mobile) that unify SCADA views, Load Management, Analytics, and AMI applications
- Define and refine data-centric visualizations for AMI, transformer and asset health, phase identification and load balancing, RF and cellular network health
- Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and data/analytics teams to translate requirements and models into usable workflows
- Plan and run usability tests, heuristic evaluations, and feedback sessions with utility users; iterate designs based on findings

- Solid understanding of accessibility and responsive design principles (e.g., WCAG) to support diverse users and viewing contexts in utility operations.
- Experience with utility, energy, or industrial control domains (e.g., AMI systems, grid operations, SCADA/HMI, asset management, or network operations centers)
- Familiarity with how protocols and systems such as DNP3, Modbus, RF mesh, and cellular backhaul influence data latency, reliability, and alarm behavior
- Experience collaborating on or visualizing advanced analytics or predictive models
- Comfort using product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, GA, or similar) to understand how users interact with dashboards and to inform iterative UX improvements.
