Arsenal is Anduril's mission to rebuild the arsenal and to hyper-scale manufacturing - the shared foundation our platforms are built on. ArsenalOS is how we turn blueprints into real production capability: the software layer that brings the speed, precision, and adaptability of modern software to industrial and defense manufacturing. The factory is the weapon. We're seeking a Senior Product Designer to join ArsenalOS Design. This is a generalist seat on the design team. You will serve wherever ArsenalOS needs design most. Right now we need an execution-minded designer to serve supply chain and supplier experience. Building the experiences that ensure our customers get the very best, and the external hub for anyone who wants to supply Anduril's manufacturing. You'll produce high-quality work at speed, validating ideas quickly and building momentum wherever the team's priorities point next. What You'll Do As a Senior Product Designer on ArsenalOS Design, you'll work in service of the broader design team. Building up context to swarm wherever ArsenalOS needs design partnership most.

Components shipped without a designer-blessed architecture break; you are the layer against that Judge experience, whether a problem calls for new craft or for reuse. Extending an existing ArsenalOS pattern, borrowing a primitive from elsewhere in the system, in service of one coherent product rather than a patchwork of team-local UIs Rapidly iterate and prototype, with strong visual and interaction craft Own all aspects of design execution from discovery through implementation and support Collaborate directly with cross-functional teams - PMs, engineering, supply chain - to understand their workflows and translate complex processes into intuitive interfaces Partner with Design Leads while exercising appropriate autonomy in your daily work, making decisions quickly to maintain momentum Balance immediate tactical solutions that address urgent business needs while contributing to long-term design impact and value Create scalable components that work across device types, considering the unique environments where our technology operates Engage in contextual research by visiting operational environments to gain firsthand understanding of user needs and processes Communicate design decisions effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, bringing them along in your process Collaborate with other designers across multiple verticals to maintain consistency and share best practices, working in the open to ensure cross-functional awareness Who You Are Creative by default. Your work opens a world of possibilities for what we can build. You garner feedback with team members, walk in your users' shoes, and explore external trends to get your inspiration.

You have a deep understanding of visual design principles, including composition, color theory, typography, and Gestalt principles. You can create visually stunning and functional designs that enhance user experience and brand identity. Systems thinker who knows when not to design something new. You think beyond the pixels and consider the entire experience holistically. Faced with a new problem, your first instinct is to ask what already exists in the system that solves it. Then to extend or promote that pattern rather than build a one-off. When something genuinely warrants new craft, you can make that call and defend it. You champion the difference between the two to the rest of the team. Storyteller. You are an effective communicator.
