[Hiring] UX Designer @ Aras Corporation

Role Description

We are seeking a UX Designer focused on design systems and product UI execution to support the modernization of the Aras enterprise PLM and digital thread platform. In this role, you will partner closely with a senior design lead to translate design direction into high-quality, buildable user interfaces.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role centered on increasing design throughput, improving UI consistency, and equipping engineering teams with clear specifications and assets. You will work across multiple product teams in a fast-moving environment where requirements continue to evolve.

You will join a growing team of Product and UX Designers and collaborate closely with Product Management and Engineering as part of Aras’s broader Product Culture transformation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Execute and deliver high-quality UI design while contributing to the continued evolution of the Aras design system.
• Contribute to and evolve a shared design system, including components, tokens, and patterns.
• Translate conceptual direction into reusable and scalable UI structures.
• Ensure visual and interaction consistency across multiple products and services.
• Develop early design concepts into thoughtful, well-crafted UI solutions.
• Progress designs to polished, high-fidelity outputs grounded in real product use.
• Support multiple product teams with UI needs such as flows, layouts, icons, and feature interfaces.
• Respond to design requests efficiently and remove day-to-day delivery bottlenecks.
• Provide clear specifications and assets to enable engineering teams to build with confidence.

How You’ll Work

You will work closely with a senior designer focused on AI, design system architecture, and design engineering.

• Own execution and production-level design workstreams.
• Turn strategic and conceptual direction into concrete UI deliverables.
• Work autonomously on day-to-day design tasks while staying aligned with overall product direction.

This is a highly collaborative environment where clarity evolves and adaptive problem-solving is essential.

Who You Are

• A product-focused UX/UI designer with strong visual design foundations.
• Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Comfortable working across multiple teams and priorities.
• Able to take loosely defined problems and produce practical design solutions.
• Not dependent on fully defined briefs or perfect requirements.
• Collaborative, communicative, and comfortable working with Product and Engineering partners.

What You’ll Need

• 3–5 years of experience in product UX/UI design.
• Strong fundamentals in layout, typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy.
• Advanced proficiency with Figma or similar design tools.
• Experience contributing to or working within a design system.
• Ability to apply and extend existing design patterns.
• Experience working in a product environment (not agency-only).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce high-quality UI efficiently.

Technical Awareness (Important)

• Working familiarity with frontend fundamentals, including HTML and CSS, including modern layout approaches such as responsive design and grid.
• Basic understanding of JavaScript concepts.
• Awareness of how frontend frameworks such as React influence UI implementation.
• Ability to design with real implementation constraints in mind and understand what is feasible in a browser-based environment.

What We Are Not Looking For

• This role is not a fit if your primary experience is focused on branding, marketing design, or visual identity work.
• Illustration-heavy portfolios.
• Pure strategy or research-only roles.
• Highly specialized AI/ML design positions.
• Working exclusively from fully defined briefs.

Application Guidance

When applying, please include a portfolio demonstrating real product UI work, such as:

• Design system contributions.
• UI execution for shipped or buildable product features.
• Examples of UI delivered under ambiguous or evolving requirements.
