• Spend time on-site with soldiers and subject matter experts to build deep user empathy, understand pain points, and test design hypotheses through workshops, field observations, and iterative prototyping.
• Inspire development with strong product narratives, journey maps, user workflows, high-fidelity mockups, and rigorous documentation.
• Turn ambiguous design challenges and technically complex software into polished, clear interfaces that operators can pick up with ease.
• Partner with engineering and product to define delivery timelines, optimizing for getting critical functionality into operators’ hands.
