Lead Product Designer (UXUI)

At Six Robotics we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate adapt on the fly and execute missions that were previously impossible.

From our base in Oslo our team of 90 engineers researchers and defence specialists develops our autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. Working closely with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and end users we move quickly from ideas to field deployment solving problems where software meets the real world.

The challenges we work on dont come with existing playbooks. They demand deep technical thinking close collaboration across disciplines and the ability to learn quickly as both the technology and the company evolve.

At Six Robotics every person executes with precision adapts to changing conditions and strengthens the team. If youre excited about building systems that matter and growing alongside talented people that push boundaries every day youll find no better place to deliver real-world impact.

Were looking for a Lead Product Designer to design the interface operators use to control Valkyrie the screens workflows and interactions that let them command autonomous assets in the field. Youll be designing for real-time control situational awareness and operational trust in environments where clarity speed and precision arent nice to have theyre the entire point.

This is a hands-on role. Youll own the design process from concept to implementation while also starting to build and lead a small (but growing) design team. Were looking for someone whos just as comfortable designing themselves as they are showing others the way.

Youll help shape a product domain from an early stage with real influence over how operators in the field actually experience and trust the technology they use. We move fast and keep bureaucracy out of the way.

• Lead design for key GCS (Ground Control Station) capabilities from early concept through launch

• Own product feature design end to end from problem framing to shipped polished UI

• Work closely with engineers autonomy teams product and operators to translate technical and operational requirements into intuitive workflows

• Drive the end-to-end design process wireframes prototypes detailed UI specs and implementation support

• Test and iterate with real users building feedback into the process continuously

• Lead our design system components and define and maintain a coherent visual and interaction language that supports real-time control and situational awareness

• Ensure high quality in the final product sweating the details that make the difference between usable and trusted in the field

• Solve unsolved problems: tackle complex challenges where theres no existing playbook. Think pragmatically and creatively to design interfaces for remote hardware sensing 3D spatial awareness and AI-driven missions

• Contribute to roadmap prioritization and product vision across the GCS domain

• Minimum 8 years experience as a product designer (UX/UI) with a proven track record of leading complex product areas end to end

• Have a strong visual design sensibility - you care about craft and polish - paired with real UX depth: you think in flows systems and user problems not just screens

• Experience in complex systems with a portfolio that shows deep pragmatic thinking - not just polished visuals

• Have B2B experience and a pragmatic approach to product development

• Have experience leading or mentoring other designers or are ready to take that step

• Communicate well across disciplines you can explain design decisions and tradeoffs to people who arent designers

• Comfortable with ambiguity and have a bias for action in a fast-moving environment

• Msc in Product Design - preferably with a focus in digital and industry

Nice to have

• Experience designing interfaces for real-time control systems (drones robotics vehicles or aviation platforms)

• Familiarity within defence intelligence or mission-critical systems

• Experience with 2D/3D map visualization telemetry or command-and-control interfaces

• Background in early-stage product development or entrepreneurial environments

Why You Should Join

• Build at the edge of whats possible: Youll work on problems the industry hasnt solved yet alongside people who are pushing the boundaries of autonomy AI and robotics.
