Senior Product Designer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ProductionOS, a team within ArsenalOS, is responsible for building software that accelerates the production and delivery of customer-ready hardware. Forge is our flagship product - it is an ever-evolving, home-grown software platform that facilitates the receipt, manufacturing, deployment and maintenance of Anduril hardware across the globe. Forge is a growing, vital piece of Anduril’s broader mission to deliver high-quality hardware with equally high throughput. We are looking for a founding Product Designer to elevate the immersion, efficiency, and consistency across the Forge user experiences that will enable Anduril’s mission.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Product Designer for Forge, you’ll be responsible for designing end-to-end user experiences for the growing number of Forge applications. More tactically, you will:

• Contribute to roadmap shaping and decision-making for product and design strategy.
• Own all aspects of design execution from discovery, ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation.
• Use storytelling to align and bring stakeholders along in your design process.
• Play an influential role in shaping the end-to-end experiences for critical manufacturing and onsite workflows.
• Balance short-term tactical bets while making meaningful progress towards long-term design system pursuits.
• Collaborate with the central Product Design team identifying opportunities to collaborate on shared best practices and learnings.

Who You Are

• Creative by default. Your work opens a world of possibilities for what we can build. You garner feedback with team members, walk in your users’ shoes, and explore external trends to get your inspiration. You thrive in ideation and refine through iteration, and you lean on your instinct and experience to produce work that elicits an emotional response.
• Systems thinker. You think beyond the pixels and think holistically about the entire experience. You understand the immediate problem that needs solving at its core, but also can consider the extensibility of the solution elsewhere. You can make decisions on whether individual components should apply to a greater design system and champion the implementation of those components to other parts of the product.
• Storyteller. You are an effective communicator. You can tell a story through the lens of your users, and your mocks resonate because you understand them well. Your story has a beginning, middle, and end, taking your audience on a journey that engages their problems head on, welcomes feedback, all while showing the savvy of the solution.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of software design experience.
• High attention to detail and mastery of visual & interaction design craft.
• Online portfolio demonstrating multimodal experiences.
• Ability to clearly articulate the why, process, and impact of your work.
• Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time.
• No prior defense experience necessary.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with the hardware-related industries, such as supply chain, manufacturing, or logistics
