Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology. The company's Lattice OS is an AI-powered operating system that aggregates thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center.
The Product Design team serves as the connective tissue across Anduril's software ecosystem, ensuring products and workflows scale thoughtfully across platforms, mission types, and domains. The team partners with engineers, product managers, and customers to shape experiences that build operator trust and expand capacity, prioritizing safety, reducing cognitive burden, and iterating directly with customers.
As a Senior Product Designer on the Lattice Mission Autonomy team, you will own the design vision for unified command and control of hundreds of autonomous vehicles. Your scope spans fleet management, mission planning, live execution, autonomous collaboration, and generative AI—shaping how the military operates robots at scale across every domain: air, ground, surface, and subsurface.
Key responsibilities include:
- Collaborating with the Mission Autonomy design team to shape experiences from discovery to delivery, maturing capabilities for fielded use and expanding into new workflows as programs launch
- Spending 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
- Inspiring development with strong product narratives, journey maps, user workflows, high-fidelity mockups, and rigorous documentation
- Turning ambiguous design challenges and technically complex software into polished, clear interfaces that operators can pick up with ease
- Partnering with engineering and product to define delivery timelines, optimizing for getting critical functionality into operators' hands
- Identifying opportunities for strategic reuse across Anduril's existing interfaces, leveraging and extending the design system to meet unique requirements of operation at scale
- Contributing to the central design team function by participating in design critiques, mentoring peers, and sharing best practices across specialties
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of experience in product design, UX, or HCI, with proven ability to execute high-craft, technically informed solutions
- Demonstrated autonomy in design execution with 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 navigation of complex stakeholder requirements across engineering, product, and business teams
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance with SCI eligibility
- No prior defense experience necessary; company seeks designers who can bring diverse perspectives to hard problems
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 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
