## About the role

Anduril runs two kinds of air defense programs for the U.S. Marine Corps. The first is a counter-UAS program of record that defends Marine Corps installations in the U.S. and overseas. The second is organic counter-UAS for the Marine maneuver force across dismounted, mounted, and expeditionary formations, where the Marine Corps is selecting systems now through competitive white papers, government demonstrations, and fly-offs. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Ownership of the architecture, interface set, and verification approach for a program or portfolio delivered to a U.S. defense customer
