Technical UI/UX Designer adapting existing UI systems for simulation games at Blackbird Interactive. Collaboration with design, engineering, and production teams to ensure effective adaptation for new platforms.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with design, engineering, and production to adapt existing UI systems for new platforms, resolutions, and input methods while preserving established gameplay workflows.

Work hands-on within the UI toolset to modify, extend, and debug UI screens, flows, and interactions to meet platform-specific requirements.
Partner closely with engineers to ensure UI performance, responsiveness, and technical stability across target platforms.
Identify UX friction introduced by platform changes (controller input, navigation paradigms, readability at distance) and propose practical, implementable solutions.
Maintain consistency with existing UI style, hierarchy, and interaction patterns while making necessary adjustments for usability and accessibility.
Test UI thoroughly in-game, diagnosing layout issues, navigation problems, and edge cases, and iterating to improve clarity and player experience.
Create and maintain clear documentation to communicate UI changes, constraints, and best practices to cross-disciplinary partners.
Requirements

Experience supporting ports or platform transitions for complex, UI-heavy games.
Familiarity with controller-first UX patterns, focus management, and non-mouse navigation models.

Experience supporting UI across multiple resolutions and aspect ratios, with a focus on readability, hierarchy, and interaction clarity.
Ability to work independently within established systems, manage tasks, and iterate on feedback in a production environment.
