About the role
- As a designer on the Lattice Mission Autonomy team, you'll own the design vision for unified command and control of hundreds of autonomous vehicles.
- Spanning fleet management, mission planning, live execution, autonomous collaboration, and generative AI, you'll shape how the military operates robots at scale across every domain — air, ground, surface, and subsurface.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the Mission Autonomy team's designer to shape experiences from discovery to delivery — maturing capabilities for fielded use and expanding into new workflows as programs launch.
- Spend 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.
- Inspire development with strong product narratives, journey maps, user workflows, high-fidelity mockups, and rigorous documentation.
- Turn ambiguous design challenges and technically complex software into polished, clear interfaces that operators can pick up with ease.
- Partner with engineering and product to define delivery timelines, optimizing for getting critical functionality into operators' hands.
- Identify opportunities for strategic reuse across Anduril's existing interfaces — leveraging and extending the design system to meet the unique requirements of operation at scale.
- Contribute 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 a proven ability to execute high-craft, technically informed solutions.
- Demonstrated autonomy in design execution with the 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 having navigated complex stakeholder requirements across engineering, product, and business teams.
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance with SCI eligibility.
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.
