# Director, Industrial Design

True Anomaly

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION 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. OUR VALUES Be the offset.&nbsp;We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take?&nbsp;We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people.&nbsp;Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION&nbsp; Leaders like you are essential to this mission&nbsp;–&nbsp;to inspire, define, and build. This is some of the most meaningful work&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;ever do, in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about.&nbsp; We’re&nbsp;looking for an inspirational&nbsp;creative&nbsp;leader to&nbsp;found&nbsp;our industrial&nbsp;product&nbsp;design function and build the team around it.&nbsp;With&nbsp;a well-established&nbsp;and growing&nbsp;software design team&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;now turning our attention to&nbsp;our&nbsp;critical&nbsp;hardware&nbsp;needs.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;sit alongside the engineers designing and building spacecraft&nbsp;and&nbsp;space-based interceptors,&nbsp;bringing your design aesthetics&nbsp;to the&nbsp;toughest&nbsp;hardware&nbsp;problems around, designed to&nbsp;operate&nbsp;flawlessly in the most challenging&nbsp;domain.&nbsp; You’ll&nbsp;report&nbsp;directly&nbsp;to&nbsp;our Creative Director&nbsp;who’s&nbsp;building this function for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.&nbsp; WHY THIS ROLE &nbsp; There’s&nbsp;no established playbook for how space security hardware should look. Most&nbsp;on-orbit&nbsp;hardware looks the way it does because&nbsp;function dictated&nbsp;every element.&nbsp;We believe&nbsp;building a&nbsp;product&nbsp;compelling design language can play a huge part in&nbsp;making our hardware express its function and perform better.&nbsp; The programs that&nbsp;invest here&nbsp;gain a&nbsp;measurable&nbsp;advantage: in recruiting, in customer confidence, and in the engineering discipline that visible craft quietly enforces.&nbsp; This is a founding seat.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;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&nbsp;with&nbsp;some of it&nbsp;making it to orbit.&nbsp; If&nbsp;you’ve&nbsp;ever wanted your craft to carry real weight,&nbsp;this is that job.&nbsp; RESPONSIBILITIES&nbsp;— design leadership for hardware&nbsp; Establish industrial design at True Anomaly: the function, the standard, and the working relationship with hardware engineering&nbsp; Own the design language of our hardware&nbsp;products&nbsp;through your team and&nbsp;your&nbsp;personal&nbsp;work,&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;champion&nbsp;great design&nbsp;across the company by&nbsp;demonstrating&nbsp;its value and advocating&nbsp;to&nbsp;our exec and engineering teams.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hire and lead a&nbsp;high-performing&nbsp;team of industrial and product designers&nbsp; Look to the future by visualizing&nbsp;visually stunning&nbsp;new concepts,&nbsp;designed to start conversations&nbsp;and inspire. Push us out of our comfort zone&nbsp;and challenge&nbsp;the art of the possible.&nbsp; Bring design into&nbsp;engineering&nbsp;and architecture decisions early, working with&nbsp;product engineering&nbsp;leadership&nbsp;early to&nbsp;influence and build&nbsp;great design&nbsp;into our hardware from the beginning.&nbsp; QUALIFICATIONS&nbsp;- We hire for talent and potential, not pedigree.&nbsp; Show us a portfolio of hardware you led or shaped, with a clear account of what you decided and why&nbsp; Demonstrate experience leading designers, from hiring&nbsp;to&nbsp;mentoring&nbsp; Fluency with engineering constraint.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be working with people solving structural, thermal, and&nbsp;other&nbsp;problems, you need to be credible with them&nbsp; Consumer, automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical, and industrial equipment backgrounds all fit. Defense and space knowledge is great, we&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;expect it&nbsp; An active security clearance is a bonus, not a requirement.&nbsp; WHAT WE EXPECT&nbsp; Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently,&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;a lean team, everyone needs to pitch in and move fast.&nbsp;You’ll&nbsp;be building a team, and until that team exists,&nbsp;you’ll&nbsp;be doing the work yourself&nbsp; Take ownership of design programs and see them through concept to final execution&nbsp; If you like this role but your skills or experience&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;quite fit… well apply anyway, or look at our other hardware design role and see if&nbsp;that’s&nbsp;a better match:&nbsp;SENIOR/STAFF INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER&nbsp; COMPENSATION&nbsp; Base Salary: $205,000 - $320,000&nbsp; Equity + Benefits&nbsp;including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave &nbsp; Your actual level and base salary will be&nbsp;determined&nbsp;on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience&nbsp; ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS&nbsp; Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near Long Beach, CA or Denver, CO. However, we would consider remote within the US for the right candidate.
