Product Designer, Defense

What the role actually is

Applied Intuition is hiring a product designer for developer tools and defense products that support autonomy development, testing, deployment, and command-and-control workflows. The work sits at the intersection of autonomy, hardware, software, and operational environments.

This is a full-stack product design role with research, prototyping, user testing, visual design, and design-system responsibilities.

• Lead design from concept through launch for complex autonomy software applications
• Translate technical and operational requirements into usable interfaces
• Build high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes for cross-functional review
• Conduct user research with commercial and defense personnel to understand real workflows
• Work with product managers, engineers, and defense subject matter experts to refine designs
• Advocate for testing and research methods that prove products meet user needs

• Product design or UX design experience on complex software applications
• Ability to handle real-time, interactive, or operationally demanding product surfaces
• Comfort translating technical constraints into clear user experiences
• User research and prototyping strength for workflows where reliability matters

The listing is notable because it treats defense autonomy software as a design problem, not only an engineering problem. It is a good match for designers who want dense, high-consequence interfaces and can handle the domain constraints.
