Director, EW Core Tech

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) business line at Anduril develops radio frequency (RF) integrated systems and subsystems for ground, maritime, air, and space missions. Today, Anduril EW focuses on delivering solutions for counter unmanned systems (cUAS), multi‑mission electromagnetic countermeasures (MM‑ECM), airborne effects and survivability, and other specialized mission sets to the joint force. We take a software‑defined, hardware‑enabled approach that compresses traditional development cycles and delivers relevant outcomes to the warfighter.

The Director of EW Core Tech is a new leadership role within a new department that owns product development and program portfolio technical direction. The Core Technology department contains two groups:
Product Engineering and Portfolio Chief Engineering. At Anduril, we develop core radio products that are applicable to multiple mission areas. Within our product engineering group, each product line has an architecture lead, product manager, software lead, and hardware lead that drives product development in response to market forces, mission need, and internal/external requirements. Within our portfolio chief engineering group, each mission area or collection of programs has a chief engineer, lead systems engineer, and technical project manager.

This group is responsible for technical direction and execution against a portfolio of internal R&D projects, collaborative development contracts, and scaled deployment contracts. The Director of EW Core Tech works directly with the EW General Manager, Functional Leadership Team, and Growth & Strategy team to define technical strategy, technical vision, and ultimately own the outcomes within our program portfolio. This role will be deeply involved in all aspects of technical execution including product strategy and positioning, new product development, product sustainment, new product introduction, and program capture.

The role will also manage our internal development processes including from concept screening, through scoping and planning, to concept review, design reviews, technical readiness reviews, manufacturing readiness reviews, and change control boards.
