About the role
We are seeking a Product Designer to join our Manufacturing team and design user experiences at the unique intersection of customers, software, factory floors, and cutting-edge physical AI. This is a high-impact, non-traditional role where you will translate firsthand customer insights into strategic product direction, building systems that directly strengthen America’s industrial base. As a key member of the Manufacturing team, you will work day-to-day with strategists, engineers, field operators, and customers to define not just how a feature looks, but what is worth building and why it matters. You will frequently travel to customer sites, anchoring our product in the real-world environment of the factory floor and collaborating directly with users who may be adopting this category of technology for the very first time. This role requires a highly autonomous, curious, and user-centered designer who thrives in ambiguous environments and takes proactive ownership of a project. This role may require access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which is unclassified U.S. government information subject to safeguarding and access requirements. Employment in this role is contingent on meeting applicable legal, customer, and company security requirements for access.
What you'll bring
- Experience owning complex, end-to-end digital product spaces.
- Deeply curious about users, technology, systems, and how work happens outside the software.
- Independent enough to push your own work forward and collaborative enough to push the team's work forward.
- Ability to translate direct customer conversations into scalable product thinking.
- Understands complex technologies and can articulate credible product solutions.
- Energized by the blurring lines between design, product strategy, engineering, and customer discovery.
- Comfortable working within technical environments, with the ability to prototype or contribute directly to code when it is the fastest path to product clarity.
- Experience in design for industrial, robotics, data-heavy, enterprise, or other complex technical domains.
