About Anduril

Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.

About the role

Anduril is fielding integrated air defense in the Middle East. As the single named technical authority, you own the architecture and technical performance of Anduril's sensors and effectors, the partner and customer-furnished systems we integrate, the networks that connect them, and the sustainment posture that keeps each site running once it goes live thousands of miles from the nearest Anduril lab.

What they're looking for

  • Engineering, science, or other technical degree, or equivalent practical experience
  • 10+ years of systems or engineering experience, with a track record of technical ownership on fielded systems
  • End-to-end technical accountability for whether a delivered system actually worked in an operational environment, not only for producing its design artifacts
  • Experience integrating third-party and customer-furnished hardware and software into a system you were accountable for
  • Ability to carry technical authority across teams that do not report to you, and to brief senior technical leadership and external customers directly
  • Ability to define a verification approach for a full program scope, negotiate requirements and acceptance with a customer, and write a credible basis of estimate
