Establish scalable mechanisms for gathering, synthesizing, and communicating user insights throughout the product development lifecycle. Translate customer and operational feedback into actionable product recommendations, requirements, and design initiatives. Product Design & User Experience Design end-to-end workflows across autonomy development, simulation, testing, analysis, deployment, and operations. Create intuitive experiences for highly technical users including autonomy engineers, software developers, operators, and mission planners. Simplify complex system architectures, data flows, infrastructure tooling, and AI workflows into understandable user experiences. Own the end-to-end experience of the product including training, documentation, tutorials, and overall workflows - help our users get the most of the product. Strategic Product Leadership Partner closely with Product Managers to shape product vision, roadmap priorities, and go-to-market strategies. Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Design, and Executive Leadership through compelling narratives, prototypes, and visual storytelling.
