CHAOS is seeking an Industrial Designer to shape the physical and human-facing aspects of our next-generation dual-use systems – spanning mounted and dismounted sensor platforms, ground-based vehicles, and airborne effectors.

This role sits at the intersection of industrial design, human factors, and product strategy – bridging the gap between engineering-driven development and user-centered design.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, build-and-ship designer (not purely studio-based), with experience designing ruggedized products for demanding environments such as military, aerospace, or industrial applications.

This is a full-time, on-site position in Los Angeles, CA, with ~20% travel for field testing and user interaction.

Define and drive the industrial design vision across a portfolio of dual-use products, ensuring alignment with brand, usability, and mission requirements

Translate complex system requirements into intuitive physical form factors, layouts, and user interactions

Design for real-world use cases, including deployment, transport, setup, maintenance, and operation in austere environments

Collaborate with hardware, software, and UI teams to ensure a cohesive end-to-end user experience across physical and digital interfaces

Develop concepts, mockups, and prototypes (low- to high-fidelity) to rapidly iterate on form, ergonomics, and usability

Guide trade studies between performance, size, usability, and visual design, helping the organization make intentional design decisions

Influence product architecture early to improve usability, serviceability, and operator efficiency

Ensure designs account for ruggedization, environmental exposure, and manufacturability, in collaboration with mechanical engineering
