True Anomaly, a space security company building autonomous spacecraft and space-based interceptors, is seeking a founding creative leader to establish and lead their industrial product design function. This role involves building a design team, defining design standards for hardware products, and collaborating with engineering teams to integrate compelling design into spacecraft and defense systems destined for orbit.
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
We are looking for an inspirational creative leader to found our industrial product design function and build the team around it. With a well-established and growing software design team we are now turning our attention to our critical hardware needs. You will sit alongside the engineers designing and building spacecraft and space-based interceptors, bringing your design aesthetics to the toughest hardware problems around, designed to operate flawlessly in the most challenging domain.
You will report directly to our Creative Director who is building this function for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.
There is no established playbook for how space security hardware should look. Most on-orbit hardware looks the way it does because function dictated every element. We believe building a compelling product design language can play a huge part in making our hardware express its function and perform better.
The programs that invest here gain a measurable advantage: in recruiting, in customer confidence, and in the engineering discipline that visible craft quietly enforces.
This is a founding seat. You will define what industrial design means here, set the standard, hire the team, and do it while the hardware is still early enough for it to matter. Your work will be inspected at the highest levels of government and military with some of it making it to orbit.
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
