Everforth ECS is seeking a Junior 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 Junior UX Designer supports user interface design and experience development across WDP's multi-classification environments under the guidance of senior UX staff, contributing to the human-centered design of mission-critical dashboards, analytical tools, and operational interfaces serving warfighters, analysts, and senior DoW decision-makers. This is an entry-level role offering meaningful hands-on experience designing for enterprise-scale government platforms where usability directly impacts mission effectiveness.
  • Supports design and enhancement of user interface components for the War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration Platform across Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments serving Combatant Commands, Joint Staff, SES leaders, and analysts.
  • Assists in developing wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma and Adobe XD to translate mission workflows into clear, user-friendly designs.
  • Assists senior UX staff in the execution of user research initiatives and development of research artifacts, such as research reports, journey maps and use case summaries.
  • Contributes to enterprise design systems and component libraries aligned with WDP visual standards and platform engineering constraints.
  • Participates in design reviews, gathers stakeholder feedback, and refines layouts to improve usability, navigation clarity, and data visualization effectiveness for dashboards and mission applications.
  • Collaborates with software engineers and front-end developers during Agile sprints to support implementation of UI specifications, interaction flows, and style guidelines while adhering to Section 508 and DoW UX standards.
  • Supports user testing by preparing prototype materials, documenting feedback, and recommending iterative improvements.
  • Develops basic UI documentation, workflow diagrams, and interface mappings to assist multi-enclave deployment efforts.
  • Contributes to improvements in task flow efficiency, usability consistency, and adoption of WDP Core Integration capabilities across supported environments.
  • 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.
