About The Position

Aras is seeking a UX Designer focused on design systems and product UI execution to partner with a senior design lead. The role involves modernizing the user experience of their enterprise PLM and digital thread platform. This is a hands-on, high-impact delivery role focused on turning product ideas into high-quality, buildable UI, evolving and maintaining a growing design system, and equipping engineering teams with clear specifications and assets. The UX Designer will help increase design throughput, improve UI consistency, and remove day-to-day bottlenecks across multiple teams. Aras is undergoing a significant Product Culture transformation with investment in Design, and this role is crucial in making the evolution towards AI-enabled experiences, modern UI architecture, and scalable design systems a reality by translating design direction into actionable UI for development teams. The position is in a high-collaboration, fast-moving environment where clarity is often evolving.

Requirements

Strong UI execution and experience working within or contributing to a design system
Strong visual design fundamentals (layout, typography, spacing, hierarchy)
Experience working in a product environment (not only agency/consulting)
Comfortable working across ambiguity and evolving requirements
Pragmatic, fast-moving, and detail-oriented
Strong English

Nice To Haves

Ability to take loosely defined problems and produce workable design solutions without perfect briefs or fully defined requirements

Working familiarity with frontend fundamentals (HTML, CSS—including modern layout concepts like grid and responsive patterns—and basic JavaScript concepts)
Awareness of how frameworks (e.g., React) influence UI implementation
Ability to design with real implementation constraints in mind and understand what is feasible vs. not in the browser
Ability to apply and extend established design patterns—not only create from scratch
Advanced proficiency in Figma (or similar tools)
Understanding of iterative development and collaboration with engineering
Interested in growing toward more advanced design or design-technology roles
