Windows 9-1-1 Simulator Launcher Development

Job ID: 40379679

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

Job Title:
Windows Desktop UI Developer – Branded Launcher (WPF / Desktop App)

Project Overview:
We are looking for a developer to create a modern, full-screen Windows launcher interface (“UI skin”) for our 9-1-1 Reality training simulator.

This is NOT a simulator build. The simulator already exists. We need to get away from Windows and folder icons - unprofessional and outdated.

We need both Instructor (active links) and Student (non interactive) screen layout (see attachments). We will need to label the three models of simulator and have the ability to name the multiple stations (Instructor 1, Instructor 2, Student 1, Student 2.) We have two models dark and light and want to receive both for testing.

The goal is to replace a basic Windows folder interface with a professional, branded launcher that makes the product feel like a real, polished software system.

What You Will Build:

A full-screen desktop application that:

Launches our existing simulator (.exe)
Opens a Video Tutorials folder
Opens other folders or applications as indicated on the skin
Displays a clean, modern UI with large navigation tiles
Runs in a borderless, full-screen mode (no Windows UI visible)
Core Features Required:

Full-screen launcher (Windows desktop)
Large button/tile interface:
Start Simulator
Video Tutorials
User Manual
9-1-1 Academy
Ai Callers

Ability to launch external applications and folders
Clean, responsive UI with hover states
Fast startup and reliable execution
Optional: subtle animations for polish

Technical Requirements:

Preferred: WPF (C#)
Acceptable: WinForms or Electron (must justify choice)
Must run on Windows desktop environments
Experience launching external processes (Process.Start or equivalent)

Design Expectations:

Must feel like a professional product, not a folder system
Clean, modern UI (not generic templates)
Strong visual hierarchy and spacing
Touch-friendly / large click targets

We will provide branding direction and example visuals.

Deliverables:

Working launcher application (.exe)
Fixes or changes to Chat creation
Source code
Build instructions
Full documentation
User Manual with Troubleshooting

Desired:

Experience with kiosk/full-screen apps
Experience designing or implementing UI animations
Experience with training or simulation software interfaces

Required Qualifications:

Proven experience building desktop applications (Windows)
Strong UI implementation skills (not just backend)
Experience with custom-styled UI (not default Windows controls)
Ability to replicate modern UI designs accurately

To Apply, Please Include:

Examples of desktop applications you’ve built
Screenshots of UI work (important)
Your recommended tech approach (WPF / Electron / other)
Estimated timeline

Important Note: Chat created the image, and chat will evaluate your credentials. We have the hi resolution icons. Fluent in English ONLY

This is a UI/UX polish project, not a complex system build.
We are looking for clean execution, attention to detail, and a professional finish.
