The Woodlands-based team supports flexible collaboration with a focus on usability and engineering craftsmanship.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build web interfaces and reusable UI libraries, translating complex manufacturing workflows into clear and consistent user experiences.
• Use AI for exploration and prototyping by scaffolding initial front-end concepts and code, then applying your judgment to evolve outputs into production-quality UI.
• Enable other engineers through shared components, patterns, and practices that can be reused across the product.
• Collaborate closely with product owners and engineers to align user needs with technical constraints, and contribute to design standards and usability improvements.

What We Need

• Portfolio that demonstrates a strong visual design eye and attention to detail (3+ years of front-end development experience is typical for strong candidates).
• Hands-on web UI experience with React (or a comparable modern framework), plus solid HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Strong design judgment to evaluate competing options, simplify complex workflows, and clearly explain how the solution serves users.
• AI-forward design and engineering experience, including practical use of AI tools for exploration, prototyping, and front-end work, with the ability to catch gaps in accessibility, consistency, or usability.
• Communication skills to present design rationale to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Tools You’ll Work With

React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, WinForms, .NET, and AI tools.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Medical and dental insurance
• Life and disability insurance
• 401(K) plan
• Paid vacation and holidays

Preferred Qualifications

• Design systems or component libraries other developers actually use
• ERP, MES, or other data-dense enterprise applications
• WinForms or .NET desktop familiarity when work spans desktop and web
• User research methods

How Success Is Measured

Dependable delivery of production web interfaces and shared UI libraries, with sound design and technical judgment in an AI-forward workflow. Strong performance supports progression toward Senior Software Engineer on the defined career path, alongside continued improvements to product UX that other engineers can build on.
