What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Designer position at Creative People?
The Opportunity
Join a physical AI company valued at $15B, building the intelligence layer for machines that move, sense, and act in the real world — trusted by 18 of the top 20 global automakers and the U.S. military.
The Mission
Forget the LLM hype — the bigger wave is physical AI. In defense, the stakes are as real as it gets: fragmented systems make teams miss threats, and clunky interfaces cost operators seconds they can't get back. This team has already proven its autonomy and simulation tech in real deployments — now they're turning that into scalable products, and design is central to how that happens.
The Role
You'll own products across the Defense portfolio — moving between real-time operator interfaces at the edge and the enterprise tools engineers use to build, test, and ship autonomy.
You will:
- Own products in the Defense portfolio end to end — research, design, and shipped UI
- Design real-time interfaces for the edge — fast, low-cognitive-load UI built for contested, constrained environments
- Shape the trust model for agentic autonomy — how much latitude an operator hands off to an autonomous system, and how humans stay in the loop
- Build out the enterprise tools behind the mission — the platforms engineers use to build, test, and ship autonomy
- Help scale a design system that has to work for both split-second operator decisions and dense enterprise workflows
What They’re Looking For
- 8 years across genuinely different environments — no narrow specialists
- A real track record of shipping full products, not just features
- Strong research instincts — comfortable learning a brand-new domain fast
- A portfolio that shows you can handle dense, complex, high-stakes interfaces
- Curiosity about technical systems (no autonomy/defense background required)
- Sharp communication — you can brief a design review or a general officer with equal clarity
Salary : $180,000 - $230,000
