WAC Lighting is hiring: UI/UX Designer (Mobile Apps) in Port Washington

Job Title: UI/UX Designer

Please share your UI/UX Portfolio including Web and Mobile Applications with user ratings.

Job Location: Port Washington, NY or Austin, Texas

Position Summary: The UI/UX Designer has deep expertise in Figma and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) to craft our enterprise dashboards and mobile application experiences. The individual in this role will define and scale a design system, shape data-heavy UIs, and ensure that web and native mobile flows adhere to platform guidelines (Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design) while remaining accessible, performant, and operator-friendly.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Own our Figma design system (tokens, components, variants) and keep web/mobile

libraries in sync.

1. Design accessible dashboards for energy, occupancy, device health, and alerts with clear

information hierarchy, progressive disclosure, and effective data visualization.

1. Create responsive/adaptive layouts for Angular (web) and native mobile (iOS/Android);

define breakpoints, density, and touch target guidance.

1. Apply WCAG 2.2 AA across designs (contrast, keyboard/touch, focus states, target size,

error prevention, accessible auth).

1. Follow platform guidelines: Apple HIG for iOS and Material Design for Android; document

when/why we diverge from defaults.

1. Prototype key workflows in Figma (interactive components, variables, conditional flows)

for commissioning, scheduling, and remote site management.

1. Deliver redlines/specs, component usage notes, and empty/edge/error states; collaborate

with engineers during implementation.

1. Conduct accessibility reviews and partner with QA to build accessibility test plans and

acceptance criteria.

1. Maintain a shared iconography/visual language; ensure visual consistency across

maps/floorplans, tables, charts, and detail panes.

1. Author UX writing and microcopy standards (labels, helper text, error messages) with

localization readiness.

Critical Success Factors:

1. Deliver tokens (color, typography, spacing, elevation) plus a core component library (variants + states) and compositional screen templates, mapped cleanly to web (Angular/React, Tailwind/ShadCN patterns) and native mobile (Apple HIG / Material). Publish semantic versions, release notes, and a deprecation policy.
2. On time delivery of spec-grade, versioned Figma deliverables (no ambiguity).
3. Publish user flows, information architecture, and system diagrams for key workflows (e.g., commissioning, scheduling, remote site management) and validate with product/engineering so intended behavior stays clear on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
4. Designs meet WCAG 2.2 AA with annotated focus/keyboard and touch target guidance, contrast, error prevention, and accessible authentication; localization readiness is documented (text expansion, LTR/RTL, date/time/units) alongside UX writing standards.
5. Deliver interactive prototypes for critical flows and a motion/micro-interaction spec (state transitions, timings, easing, feedback) aligned with platform conventions, enabling predictable implementation and design QA.

Requirements:

1. Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Digital Media, or a closely related field of study.
2. 5+ years designing enterprise or SaaS products with complex dashboards and workflows.
3. Expert Figma skills: Auto Layout, component/variant properties, variables, interactive prototyping, and libraries.
4. Demonstrated application of WCAG 2.2 AA (contrast 4.5:1 body / 3:1 large text, visible focus, keyboard navigation, target size ≥24px, accessible authentication).
5. Strong information architecture and data visualization fundamentals (tables at scale, filters, charts, status/health patterns).
6. Experience partnering with engineers on Angular/React component libraries and design QA.
7. Clear communication, rationale-driven decision making, and pragmatic iteration with product and engineering.
8. Experience with IoT, lighting controls, or building/facility management UIs experience is a plus.
9. Commissioning/installer tooling, floorplan or map-based interactions, and real-time telemetry dashboards experience is a plus.
10. Motion/micro-interactions guidelines and meaningful animation for state change and feedback experience is a plus.
11. Localization/internationalization (LTR/RTL, date/time/units) patterns experience is a plus.

The expected salary is 125,000.00 - 150,000.00. The actual compensation will be determined based on experience and other factors allowed by law.

We recognize people as our most valuable asset.
