Product Designer, Ground Control Station (R5479)

We’re seeking a Product Designer to join our Ground Control Station (GCS) team and shape the user experience of next-generation UAS control software. This role is ideal for a systems-minded designer with a passion for solving complex UX problems in mission-critical, real-time environments. 

You’ll work alongside engineers, operators, and product teams to design intuitive workflows and spatial interfaces that allow users to plan, command, and monitor autonomous assets with confidence and clarity. 

Lead design efforts for key GCS capabilities, ensuring user needs are met across the full development lifecycle. 

Collaborate with engineering, autonomy, product, and test teams to gather system constraints and translate them into user-centered design solutions. 

Influence cross-functional planning, roadmap prioritization, and long-term product vision. 

Drive the end-to-end design process—from concept, wireframes, and prototypes to detailed UI specs and implementation support. 

Regularly test and iterate on designs with real users, incorporating feedback to improve usability and mission effectiveness. 

Help define and maintain a coherent visual and interaction language that supports real-time control, situational awareness, and operational trust. 

Advocate for operator experience and usability in high-stakes environments where clarity, speed, and precision are critical. 

Contribute to the evolution of our design systems, tooling, and cross-platform interface strategy. 

Travel to test flights to perform operator research and support the rollout of new GCS features. 

Experience designing interfaces for real-time control systems (e.g., UAS, robotics, vehicles, or aviation platforms). 

Familiarity with military or mission-critical systems and operator workflows. 

Understanding of design constraints imposed by low-latency or high-performance software systems. 

Exposure to 2D/3D mapping, telemetry visualization, or command-and-control interfaces. 

Familiarity with web-based frontends (React, WebGL, etc.) or embedded UI technologies. 

Familiarization with, and experience implementing, Military Standards (MIL-STDs) to product design.
