Everforth ECS is seeking a UX Designer to work in the National Capital Region covering the Pentagon, Falls Church, and Fairfax. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

The War Data Platform (WDP) is a key initiative within the U.S. Department of War's (DoW) AI-First strategy introduced in early 2026. The WDP separates business and financial data from operational warfighting data, aiming to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) on the battlefield. The WDP extends to Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments, and supports collaboration between Combatant Commands, Joint Staff directorates, Senior Executive Service leaders, and operational analysts.

  • The UX Designer leads user interface design and experience engineering efforts across WDP's multi-classification environments, translating complex mission workflows into intuitive, accessible, and visually coherent interfaces that serve warfighters, analysts, and senior DoW decision-makers. This role operates at the intersection of human-centered design and enterprise platform engineering, directly contributing to WDP's mission of reducing user friction and driving platform adoption at scale.
  • Designs, architects, and advances user interface components for the War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration Platform across Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments supporting Combatant Commands, Joint Staff directorates, Senior Executive Service leaders, and operational analysts.
  • Develops interactive prototypes, wireframes, and high-fidelity design artifacts using platforms such as Figma, Adobe XD, and Axure to translate mission workflows into intuitive user experiences.
  • Builds and maintains enterprise design systems, component libraries, and UI pattern standards aligned with War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration visual frameworks, platform engineering requirements, and cross-enclave technical constraints.
  • Conducts structured design reviews, synthesizes stakeholder feedback, and iterates on design concepts to elevate usability, reduce cognitive load, and strengthen operational clarity for enterprise dashboards, mission spaces, navigation structures, and data visualization interfaces.
  • Collaborates with software engineers and front-end developers during Agile sprints to define implementation-ready specifications, interaction models, style guidelines, and accessibility compliance requirements aligned with Section 508 and DoW UX standards.
  • Validates designs through usability testing by preparing testable prototypes, capturing qualitative and quantitative responses, and generating design improvement recommendations.
  • Produces UI specifications, design documentation, workflow diagrams, and interface mappings that guide multi-classification implementation efforts.
  • Identifies metrics and contributes to measurable improvements in user task efficiency, error reduction, and adoption of War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration Platform capabilities across all enclaves.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.

About the Company

ECS Federal LLC

ECS was founded in 2001 by experienced IT professionals with a commitment to quality processes, people and performance. Led by our Chairman, Roy Kapani, and an experienced executive leadership team, ECS provides our customers with solutions and services that support their critical needs and further mission objectives. This commitment has paved the way for expansive growth, year over year.

ECS gained market share in 2011 in the Department of Defense and Federal spaces through both organic and acquisition growth. In May, ECS completed its first strategic acquisition with the purchase of OAK Management, Inc., a leading provider of marine environmental services, ship systems engineering, maritime consulting and platform acquisition management. The OAK acquisition kicked off ECS’ intention to add tactical acquisitions as a part of its long term strategy to supplement and expand upon organic growth and to build enterprise value. ECS closed out 2011 with the acquisition of Paradigm Technologies, Inc. The Paradigm transaction added approximately 200 employees to ECS’ existing 900+ employees. Paradigm also added new Defense clients for ECS, including the Missile Defense Agency, the Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Integrated Warfare Systems, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

In 2012, ECS completed the acquisition of iLuMinA Solutions, Inc. iLuMinA brings large-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation and infrastructure design and development to ECS’ expanding capabilities.

ECS will continue to invest in corporate infrastructure and quality processes as we grow and enhance our ability to offer professional excellence to both our customers and our employees.
