Senior Product Designer, Mission Autonomy

- Collaborate with the Mission Autonomy team's designer to shape experiences from discovery to delivery - maturing capabilities for fielded use and expanding into new workflows as programs launch.

- Spend time on-site with soldiers and subject matter experts to build deep user empathy, understand pain points, and test design hypotheses through workshops, field observations, and iterative prototyping.

- Inspire development with strong product narratives, journey maps, user workflows, high-fidelity mockups, and rigorous documentation.

- Turn ambiguous design challenges and technically complex software into polished, clear interfaces that operators can pick up with ease.

- Partner with engineering and product to define delivery timelines, optimizing for getting critical functionality into operators' hands.

- Identify opportunities for strategic reuse across Anduril's existing interfaces - leveraging and extending the design system to meet the unique requirements of operation at scale.

- Contribute to the central design team function by participating in design critiques, mentoring peers, and sharing best practices across specialties.

- 5+ years of experience in product design, UX, or HCI, with a proven ability to execute high-craft, technically informed solutions.

- Demonstrated autonomy in design execution with the ability to independently drive feature-level and system-level work, navigating complex ambiguities with sound judgment.

- Deep expertise in visual and interaction design with proven ability to design complex technical workflows where precision, clarity, and attention to detail are critical; portfolio demonstrating elegant solutions and high craft quality.

- Systems thinking mindset with ability to map user journeys across multiple user types and operational contexts.

- Strong prototyping skills to drive clarity in decision-making.

- Ability to communicate the "why" behind design decisions; work demonstrating having navigated complex stakeholder requirements across engineering, product, and business teams.

- No prior defense experience necessary - we are looking for designers who can bring diverse perspectives to hard problems.

- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance with SCI eligibility.

- Experience designing for technical operator-focused software in domains such as aviation, autonomous systems, robotics, industrial control systems, logistics, or similar complex operational contexts.

- Familiarity with workflows involving planning, execution, monitoring, or debrief of autonomous or distributed systems.

- Track record of delivering high-quality design work in fast-paced, mission-critical environments with shifting priorities and ambiguity.

- Experience helping mature a product from early development to operational readiness.

- Experience working within established design systems while contributing thoughtful extensions for domain-specific needs.

- Experience leading user research sessions including customer discovery, usability testing, and synthesis of complex feedback loops.

- Facilitation skills to lead workshops, guide cross-functional alignment, and strategic decision-making.

- Familiarity with designing for constrained or high-stakes / safety critical environments.
