UX Designer

We're looking for a UX Designer to join our Application Development Department in central Stockholm. This is an opportunity to shape the user experience of industry-leading aviation tools used by a large and passionate user base worldwide.

About Navigraph

Navigraph is a Swedish SaaS company that provides the international flight simulation community with flight planning tools, navigation data, and aeronautical charts used in professional aviation. Our 1.7 million registered users care deeply about realism, procedures, and getting the details right.

We're a team of nearly 60, including software developers, UX and graphic designers, data analysts, content producers, motion designers, and support specialists. Navigraph was founded by Stephen O'Connell (CTO) and Magnus Axholt (CEO), both of whom are still active in the company. We've grown considerably but kept the collaborative, creative culture we started with.

What makes us different

Navigraph is privately held, profitable, and built on the principle that people come first. That means prioritizing product quality and employee satisfaction. Our employee NPS is 80, placing us in the top percentile across industries.

The problem space is unusual: professional aviation complexity, consumer-grade usability expectations, and platforms spanning mobile, web, desktop, and in-simulator environments, including VR. You won't find this combination elsewhere.

The role

Bring research, make the case, change the direction!

You'll play a key role in shaping the user experience across Navigraph's product suite, from our flagship Charts app to desktop utilities and in-simulator interfaces. The work centers on information-dense, timing-sensitive interfaces where clarity directly affects the user experience under cognitive load. The challenges include showing the right information at the right moment while making complex workflows feel intuitive.

You’ll work hands-on throughout the end-to-end UX process; from framing complex problems and conducting research to designing, prototyping, validating, and refining features through to implementation. You'll also contribute to our design system, ensuring consistency and scalability across products.

You'll manage multiple UX initiatives across products and help build our user research infrastructure, including the behavioral analytics we're establishing across products.

The team

You'd join the Charts Team within the Application Department as part of a small but growing design group. Design is embedded with engineering: same dailies, shared context, with dedicated time for UX-specific collaboration. You'd also participate in cross-department design councils, shaping how UX works across the company.

The community

Our users are deeply engaged, active on forums and Discord, vocal about their needs, and genuinely invested in the product. Navigraph has become one of the most recognized brands in flight simulation by listening to and serving this community. As a designer, you'll have direct access to user feedback and a user base that cares intensely about getting the details right.

What we're looking for

Professional experience

• You have 5+ years in product/UX design across web, native mobile, and desktop platforms.
• You're passionate about UX and care deeply about design quality
• You're genuinely curious about users and want to understand why they behave the way they do
• You plan and conduct research to identify opportunities, resolve usability issues, and validate design decisions.
• You manage multiple UX initiatives across teams, balancing discovery, delivery, and iteration.
• You enjoy being hands-on and spending a significant part of your time designing features, exploring solutions in Figma, and working through interaction and UX/UI details.
• You bring experience with data-dense, information-rich interfaces, ideally in professional tools, technical software, or specialized domains.
• You enjoy turning complex UX problems into well-crafted features, getting into the details of how they work and feel.
• You're energized by complex problems, not frustrated by them
• You build good relationships with colleagues and create a positive team environment
• You help junior designers grow through feedback, guidance, and collaboration
• You express yourself clearly and precisely in English, both written and spoken

Technical skills

• You design wireframes, prototypes, and user flows in Figma
• You’re highly proficient in Figma and comfortable taking designs from early exploration to detailed solutions.
• You have hands-on experience building and maintaining scalable design systems using components, design tokens, and shared libraries.
• You create and test interactive prototypes to validate design decisions
• You apply usability principles, accessibility standards, and human-computer interaction fundamentals throughout the design process
• You navigate technical constraints and platform-specific considerations that affect implementation
• You actively use AI-assisted tools to explore ideas, prototype, synthesize research, document work, or otherwise make your design process faster and more effective
• You’re curious about AI-enabled design workflows and enjoy experimenting with new ways of working.

Nice to have

• Aviation interest, pilot experience, or personal experience with flight simulation, though you'll quickly learn from colleagues and a user base that care deeply about realistic procedures and workflows
• Basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML/CSS, React, or React Native)

What we offer

Navigraph is built on an open, caring culture where people genuinely come first. The structure is flat, leadership is hands-on, and flexibility is based on trust. Innovation and creativity aren't just tolerated, they're expected. You'll join a team that genuinely enjoys what they do and takes pride in setting the standard for what flight simulation tools can be.

• Flexible work options: On-site and hybrid
• A great benefits package: Please check out our career site.
• Growth opportunities: We’ll support your professional development and give you the resources you need to excel.
• Memorable experiences: The Navigraph team is a tight-knit group with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We enjoy spending time together, and our annual work trips always include team-building activities that leave lasting impressions!
