Design and UX

Product Designer, Defense

Design autonomy and command-and-control software for defense and commercial users working in mission-critical environments.

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.

What you would work on

  • 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

What they are asking for

  • 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

Why this one is worth a look

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.
