Full Job Description
The centralized Software Product Design & Research team serves as the connective tissue across Anduril's ecosystem of software experiences - ensuring that products and workflows scale thoughtfully across platforms, mission types, and domains. As a Product Designer for the Design Systems team, you will be designing and iterating upon all elements of Matter, Anduril's design system. Through this work you will contribute to all of our products, building solutions that support highly technical and complex scenarios. You will work alongside a team of designers, researchers and engineers, while developing a deep understanding of Anduril customers. You will have an immediate impact on real-world operations as you design novel interactions that explore the boundaries of human-to-machine control. We are changing the way our military works - from strategic commanders to forward-deployed operators working responsibly with autonomous systems.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Design and iterate upon Matter, Anduril's design system, across primitives, tokens, components, patterns, and guidelines.
  • Establish governance practices and frameworks that balance platform scaling with program-specific needs.
  • Effectively manage Matter implementation and drive alignment by clearly communicating system strategy, priorities, and progress to leadership, designers, and engineers.
  • Partner across teams to identify gaps and design scalable solutions that maximize adoption and consistency.
  • Unify the visual and interaction direction for Anduril software across web, mobile, XR, and emerging platforms.
  • Ensure the system embodies quality, craft, and accessibility while grounded in operational realities.
  • Manage transitions from deprecated patterns or tooling, ensuring smooth migration for teams.
  • Mentor other designers, model high craft, and drive organizational alignment around system best practices.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years in product design, with significant time building and leading design systems at scale.
  • Proven impact shaping end-to-end systems (not just UI kits), with portfolio evidence of product integration and measurable outcomes.
  • Deep expertise in Figma (libraries, variables, component architecture, branching) and comfort collaborating through implementation.
  • Track record of aligning multiple teams and driving adoption in complex, distributed environments.
  • Ability to define system strategy while delivering tangible improvements to software craft and consistency.
  • Portfolio demonstrating high attention to craft and interaction details.
  • No prior defense experience necessary - we are looking for designers who can bring diverse perspectives to hard problems.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Strategic and systematic in approach, balancing long-term system health with immediate product needs.
  • Strong visual design craft with a commitment to quality and accessibility.
  • Able to distinguish durable patterns from design trends, raising the bar for craft without losing operational grounding.
  • Effective influencer across disciplines and seniority levels; open to feedback while confident in decision-making.
  • Experienced leading large-scale initiatives and aligning organizations around a shared system vision.
  • Strong opinions, loosely held.
