Senior Product Designer

ABOUT THE TEAM The centralized Software Product Design & Research team serves as the connective tissue across Anduril's ecosystem of software experiences - ensuring that products and workflows scale thoughtfully across platforms, mission types, and domains. As a Product Designer, you will own the entire lifecycle of design working closely with cross-functional partners through discovery, ideation, validation, and delivery.

You will work alongside a team of designers and researchers while developing a deep understanding of Anduril customers, and design solutions to support highly technical and complex scenarios. You will have an immediate impact on real-world operations as you design novel interactions that explore the boundaries of human-to-machine control.
