Description
At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.
We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.
We are seeking a Data Analyst to build production-grade user interfaces and visualization systems for complex autonomy datasets. You will transform data insights into polished, intuitive dashboards, develop frontend components for analytics applications, and create compelling visual narratives that enable engineers to understand flight test results, sensor performance, and system behavior at a glance.
Responsibilities:
Frontend Development & Dashboard Implementation
- Build responsive, production-ready web dashboards using modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript)
- Develop reusable UI components and visualization libraries for internal analytics applications
- Implement interactive features including filtering, brushing, zooming, and coordinated views across multiple charts
- Create polished user experiences with attention to performance, accessibility, and visual design
- Manage state, data flow, and API integration in complex single-page applications
Advanced Data Visualization
- Design and implement sophisticated visualizations for time-series, geospatial, and multi-dimensional data
- Build custom chart types and interactive graphics tailored to autonomy and flight test use cases
- Develop 3D trajectory viewers, map-based displays, and sensor visualization overlays
- Create real-time data streaming visualizations for live monitoring of autonomous systems
- Implement animation and transition effects that clearly communicate data changes over time
UI/UX Design & Data Presentation
- Design intuitive interfaces that make complex technical data accessible to diverse engineering audiences
- Create visual hierarchies and information architectures that guide users to critical insights
- Develop design systems and style guides for consistent visual language across analytics tools
- Conduct user testing and iterate on designs based on feedback from engineering teams
- Translate data insights into clear visual narratives that communicate findings effectively
Data Integration & Analytics Tools
- Connect frontend applications to data APIs, databases, and analytics backends
- Implement client-side data processing and aggregation for responsive user experiences
- Build query interfaces and parameter controls that allow users to slice and filter datasets
- Develop export and reporting features for sharing insights with stakeholders
- Collaborate with data scientists and platform engineers to optimize data delivery for UI performance
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Data Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or related field – equivalent industry experience also welcome
- 5-8+ years of experience in frontend development with focus on data-intensive applications
- Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular)
- Strong experience with data visualization libraries (D3.js, Plotly, Recharts, or similar)
- Deep understanding of UI/UX design principles and best practices for data presentation
- Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and responsive design techniques
- Experience with Python for data manipulation and analysis (Pandas, NumPy)
- Understanding of RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and frontend data fetching patterns
- Strong visual design skills and ability to create aesthetically pleasing, functional interfaces
Preferred:
- Experience building dashboards for engineering, robotics, or technical domains
- Familiarity with 3D visualization libraries (Three.js, Deck.gl, Cesium)
- Knowledge of geospatial data visualization and mapping libraries (Mapbox, Leaflet)
- Understanding of time-series data and real-time streaming visualization
- Experience with WebGL, canvas rendering, or high-performance graphics
- Background in interaction design, information visualization, or visual analytics
- Familiarity with design tools (Figma, Sketch) for mockups and prototyping
- Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design practices
- Experience with state management libraries (Redux, MobX, Zustand)
- Understanding of ROS2 data formats or flight test data structures
- Background in statistical visualization or exploratory data analysis
- Experience with testing frameworks for frontend applications (Jest, React Testing Library)
Compensation:
Level III - $130k - $157k
Level IV - $157k - $187k
What's in it for you:
Benefits:
- Competitive total compensation package
- Comprehensive benefit package options include medical, dental, vision, life, and more.
- 401k with company-match
- 4 weeks of paid time off each year
