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.

• 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 delivering 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.
