Senior Product Designer

About the role

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. We are changing the way our military works – from strategic commanders to forward-deployed operators working responsibly with autonomous systems.

Responsibilities

• Drive the end-to-end user experience for platform, internal R&D, or vertical product investments; proactively balancing near-term experiments with long-term strategy & vision.
• Shape how product design integrates with engineering & product management through close collaboration, iterative prototyping, and hands-on implementation guidance.
• Lead the definition of high-impact product experiences. From problem decomposition and discovery to defining experience requirements, crafting workflows, and delivery high-fidelity designs.
• Engage with end users and facilitate collaborative workshops with stakeholders to align on user needs, generate ideas, and define concepts or experiments.
• Ensure your work is easy to follow through strong narrative skills, journey maps, user workflows, high fidelity mockups, and documentation rigor.
• Mentor and elevate design peers, contribute in design critiques, champion knowledge sharing, and model productive cross-functional collaboration.
• Partner with our design systems team to evolve the underlying platform through your work at the edge.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product design, UX, or HCI, with a proven ability to execute high-craft, technically informed solutions.
• Deep expertise in visual and interaction design, with the ability to craft elegant solutions for complex workflows.
• Systems thinking mindset, capable of mapping workflows 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.
• Portfolio demonstrating high attention to craft and interaction details.

Prioritization

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

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity with a proactive approach to problem-solving in mission-critical, time-sensitive environments.
• Familiarity with designing for constrained or high-stakes / safety critical environments (e.g., industrial, aerospace, or defense systems).
• Demonstrated leadership in scaling design operations, mentorship, and improving team efficiency.
