Product Operations Technical Specialist, Drones

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 Tactical Effects team at Anduril develops aerial small drones (Group 1-3) and all equipment to test, deploy and operate. The team is responsible for taking products like Ghost, Anvil, and Bolt from concepts to operational systems. We work in close coordination with specialist teams to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers, hardware engineers, roboticists, and front-end mobile developers who are excited about creating a powerful robotics platform that can be tasked and viewed in real-time through a variety of interfaces.

As a Product Operations Technical Specialist for small drones, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability and mission readiness of Anduril’s autonomous sUAS Precision Engagement Systems and multi-mission capable Ghost platform. This role will support:

• Anvil - An autonomous interceptor that defeats airborne threats with kinetic precision and minimal collateral damage. Cued by Lattice, Anvil delivers the speed, power, and human-authorized defeat needed to neutralize Group 1 and Group 2 UAS as a key component of layered Air Defense solutions.
• Bolt - a compact, expeditionary autonomous air vehicle built on a modular payload architecture for on-the-fly mission adaptability. Baseline Bolt supports ISR and search-and-rescue missions at the tactical edge. Bolt-M extends the platform as a loitering munition, delivering precision firepower against static or moving targets with minimal training required.
• Ghost - an expeditionary, modular UAS that delivers quiet, autonomous ISR, targeting, and force protection at the tactical edge. Multi-mission endurance and seamless Lattice C2 integration provide unmatched battlefield awareness with minimal training.

In this role, you will lead efforts to mitigate operational issues by resolving field failures, conducting root cause analysis, deploying fixes, and managing fleet-wide incidents. Combining technical expertise, problem-solving acumen, and a passion for cutting-edge technology, you will collaborate across teams to optimize system reliability and empower end users with advanced autonomous capabilities critical to advancing national security.

• Sustain Ghost, Bolt, and Anvil deployments by combining an understanding of customer missions with deep familiarity of product behavior across both reusable-UAS and loitering-munition operating profiles.
• Triage, diagnose, and root cause product incidents, driving postmortem actions and providing status visibility through resolution. Abstract individual incidents into systemic reliability improvements. This includes conducting log reviews and diagnostics, and utilizing Linux and command line tools for system management and issue resolution.
• Consistently assess and improve the quality of fleet observability and health telemetry in partnership with multiple functions across the TRS organization.
• Collect, organize, and analyze system failure data to define trends, drive proactive…
