UX Designer (Colorado Springs)

Want to work on the apps used for space capabilities and cutting-edge technologies? Yes, we said space!

Rocket Communications is an enterprise UX Design company focused on designing mission-critical applications and systems. We are seeking a UX Designer with Secret Clearance or higher, who possesses the right balance of creativity and analytical skills to help solve some of our nation’s most complex space app user experience challenges. 

Whether you call yourself a product designer, interaction designer, UX designer, or something else entirely: if you have the ability to look past the noise and identify core problems, this might be the right fit.

We are a small company, and your work will have a direct impact on the success of our business. Our work can be challenging and complex, but our team is fun, friendly, and supportive. 

This is a hybrid role based in the Colorado Springs area, which can have frequent onsite client work. While some of the work will be remote, team members are not permitted to take Rocket-issued devices outside the United States, or work on client related content while outside the United States.

The intended start date is early Spring 2025.
