About The Position

LMI is hiring a Senior Product Designer to shape software around the needs of national security users. The designer owns user research and interaction design for complex workflows, working directly with users and engineers from early discovery through initial deployment. The role influences what the team builds and remains involved as designs become working software.

The position is part of a multidisciplinary team within LMI's National Security organization. Work includes technical discovery, rapid prototyping, and selected deployments through initial operational use. The team develops reusable capabilities and transfers them to LMI program or product teams for sustained delivery.

Requirements

• A portfolio of shipped software products demonstrating contribution from user research and interaction design through implementation and feedback.
• Experience independently leading design for complex enterprise or operational workflows and making progress from incomplete requirements.
• Strong skills in Figma or a comparable design tool, interactive prototyping, information architecture, and usability testing.
• Experience designing accessible interfaces and reusable components for data-rich applications.
• Working understanding of responsive behavior and component-based frontends, with the ability to collaborate closely with software engineers.
• Ability to explain design decisions, resolve competing user needs, and adapt an approach to technical and operational constraints.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% for user engagement, deployment support, and forward deployed delivery.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with defense, intelligence, logistics, manufacturing, autonomy operations, or other complex operational environments.
• Experience designing AI-assisted workflows, including source transparency, human review, and error recovery.
• Experience using AI-assisted or code-based prototyping, or working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and React components.
• Experience applying WCAG or Section 508 requirements and contributing to a maintained design system.

• Design interfaces for complex data and decisions, including search, tables, filters, maps, and multistep workflows where appropriate.
• Design AI interactions that make sources, limitations, user controls, and review or approval steps understandable.
• Test designs with users, incorporate feedback, and collaborate with engineers to resolve implementation and accessibility issues.
• Create and maintain reusable components and patterns to make related applications consistent and easier to build.
• Support customer demonstrations and initial deployment, assess usability in the intended environment, and transfer design rationale and assets to the sustaining team.
