Description

UI/UX Software Engineer- Windows .Net Developer
We are seeking a UI/UX Software Engineer to design and develop robust, user-friendly interfaces for our advanced Windows-based inspection systems. Your expertise will ensure intuitive workflows, high performance, and reliable functionality through rigorous testing and validation processes. Experience working with X-ray imaging tools or similar hardware is a strong plus, as it aligns with our focus on precision and high-resolution analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

UI/UX Design & Development:

• Build intuitive, scalable, and visually appealing user interfaces for Windows-based applications using a variety of technologies, including but not limited to C#, .NET (WPF, WinForms), C++, Qt, and Python (PyQt/PySide).
• Implement interactive and real-time data visualization components using libraries like Grafana, Bokeh, OxyPlot, LiveCharts, Plotly, or D3.js. User-Centered

Design:

• Conduct user research, interviews, and usability testing to refine workflows and user experiences.
• Design wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups using tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.

Performance Optimization & Integration:

• Ensure applications are highly responsive and optimized for multi-threaded and data-intensive environments.
• Collaborate with back-end developers, hardware engineers, and data scientists to integrate UI components with the broader system architecture seamlessly.

Testing & Quality Assurance:

• Develop and maintain automated UI testing frameworks using tools like Selenium, Appium, TestComplete, or Pytest-Qt.
• Create and execute unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to validate UI functionality and performance.
• Perform manual testing to ensure edge cases, usability, and consistency in design and interaction.
• Implement regression testing strategies to catch and resolve issues during iterative development.

Collaboration & Best Practices:

• Establish and maintain UI/UX design standards and best practices.
• Actively participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure code quality and maintainability.

Qualifications

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design and development for Windows-based applications.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in C#, .Net and at least one of the following programming environments:
  • WPF/WinForms
  • C++ with Qt
  • Python with PyQt/PySide
• Experience with real-time data visualization and libraries like Grafana, Bokeh, OxyPlot, LiveCharts, D3.js, or Plotly.
• Familiarity with UI development for multi-threaded and performance-critical applications.
• Strong understanding of UI design principles and responsive layouts for high-resolution and multi-monitor setups.

Testing Skills:

• Hands-on experience with automated UI testing frameworks such as Selenium, Appium, TestComplete, or Pytest-Qt.
• Familiarity with unit testing frameworks (e.g., NUnit, xUnit, Google Test, or pytest).
• Knowledge of performance testing and profiling tools for UI components.

Design Tools:

• Expertise in UI/UX design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or Axure RP.
• Familiarity with creating interactive prototypes with tools like InVision or Framer.
• Familiarity with design systems and component libraries (e.g., Material Design, Fluent Design).

Preferred Skills:

• Experience working with X-ray imaging tools, CT systems, or other similar hardware platforms.
• Ability to communicate in or understand Japanese.
• Knowledge of imaging processing libraries or frameworks (e.g., OpenCV, ITK, or similar).
• Experience with cross-platform UI development (e.g., Avalonia, Electron, or Flutter).
• Familiarity with Agile development practices and version control systems (e.g., Git).

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
