ABOUT THE TEAM
The centralized Software Product Design & Research team ensures 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, and impacting real‑world operations by designing novel interactions for highly technical scenarios.

• Drive the end‑to‑end user experience for platform, internal R&D, or vertical product investments; proactively balance near‑term experiments with long‑term strategy and vision.
• Shape how product design integrates with engineering and 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.
• 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.

• 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, demonstrating navigation of complex stakeholder requirements across engineering, product, and business teams.
• Portfolio demonstrating high attention to craft and interaction details.
• No prior defense experience required – we seek designers who can bring diverse perspectives to hard problems.

• 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.
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Top Secret clearance.
