About this role
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 50+, 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 lead the end-to-end UX process - framing complex problems, conducting research, validating ideas, and translating insights into intuitive solutions. 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 what they need, 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, with experience 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 to validate design decisions.
You manage multiple UX initiatives across teams, balancing discovery, delivery, and iteration.
You bring experience with data-dense, information-rich interfaces, ideally in professional tools, technical software, or specialized domains
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 build and maintain scalable design systems, including components, tokens, typography, and iconography
You translate abstract or complex ideas into simple, usable interfaces
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
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
Gaming UX background with understanding of feedback loops, progression systems, and player engagement
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.
