Is a Vericut career right for you?

Finding a career where you thrive is essential. And it's just as vital for us, too, that our people have a real sense of belonging.

We've outlined our core values to help you decide whether a career at Vericut is right for you. If they resonate with you, you'll be an excellent fit.

Industry-leading

Our CNC simulation software is trusted globally. But we’re also industry leaders in customer support. We take as much pride—maybe more so—in delivering service that’s worlds apart from industry expectations.

Accuracy

Our customers put their faith (and machines) in our accuracy. And for us, we make sure we’re accurate on much more than our simulations. We’re accurate in how we talk, how we present, and, most importantly, how we serve.

Protection

Protecting our customers' processes and bottom lines is our No.1 priority. We work tirelessly to protect shop floors and give employees the confidence to make the right cut every time—even when parts are being run for the first time.

Transparency

If we aren’t truthful, we aren’t trustworthy. That’s why we are fully transparent in everything we do. We never over-promise or under-deliver, and we always provide an open and honest experience with every single customer.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and enhance user experiences and interfaces for a desktop application, with a focus on usability, clarity, and consistency.
• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to translate user needs and product requirements into effective design solutions.
• Contribute to wireframes, mockups, user flows, and design documentation.
• Participate in user research activities, including usability testing, interviews, surveys, and synthesis of insights.
• Identify opportunities to improve product usability and overall user satisfaction.
• Support improvements to product documentation and design-related processes within the product development workflow.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in UX/UI Design, Product Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 0–3 years of experience in UX/UI design, product design, or a related role (including academic, contract, or project-based experience).
• Familiarity with user research methods (e.g., usability testing, interviews, surveys).
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to commute to the Irvine headquarters on a hybrid, on-site schedule.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or similar platforms.
• Exposure to complex or technical software products.
• Familiarity with AI technologies or Large Language Models (LLMs) is a plus, but not required.
• Interest in Digital Twin technology or advanced engineering software.

How Success Is Measured

Success in this role will be evaluated based on the individual’s ability to:

• Deliver thoughtful, user-centered design solutions that improve usability, clarity, and overall user experience of the desktop application.
• Effectively collaborate with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate requirements into practical design outcomes.
• Apply user research insights (e.g., usability testing, feedback, data) to inform design decisions and iterate on solutions.
• Produce clear, well-structured design artifacts such as wireframes, mockups, user flows, and supporting documentation.
• Demonstrate responsiveness to feedback and the ability to iterate efficiently within product development timelines.
• Contribute to improvements in product documentation, design consistency, and UX processes over time.
