Senior Robotic and Autonomous Systems Mission Lead, Air Dominance & Strike, Clearance

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.

Anduril’s Mission Autonomy Business Line is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of autonomy capability for multi-domain platforms. We work with customers to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and ultimately deploy and scale fleets of autonomous, heterogeneous UxVs in support of customer missions.

• Capture & translate operational needs – Lead on‑site user interviews (may coordinate and work across other functions - UX research, Design), CONOPS reviews, and tabletop exercises to turn joint‑force objectives into clear engineering tasks
• Run simulation‑driven training – Stand up Digital Twin environments; schedule, instruct, and iterate on operator training events; build feedback loops into product backlog
• Own a lean budget – Create spend plans, track burn, and adjust priorities to maximize impact per dollar of on-site user engagement
• Define & measure performance – Establish and report quantitative MOPs/MOEs (e.g., swarm survivability, end‑to‑end kill‑chain time, operator workload) as well as user / stakeholder measures of success (stoplight chart / stakeholder map, risks and mitigations)
• Synchronize stakeholders – Coordinate engineers, flight‑test teams, and government sponsors; brief senior leaders with concise, data‑backed updates that build confidence in Anduril’s ownership of the “Offensive Swarms” problem space. Ensure information sharing and alignment internally (CW, Maritime, Dustin Walker / INDOPACOM strategy)
• Support on-island growth engagements - Assist key growth team members in development and implementation of growth strategy, design and drive engineering development of relevant technology demonstrations for strategic engagement opportunities

• BS in Engineering, CS, or related field; 7+ yrs technical program or product management
• Demonstrated success shaping requirements and delivering software‑hardware capability under tight fiscal constraints
• Hands‑on experience with mission autonomy or simulation / modeling & simulation tools
• Fluent in DoD acquisition, budgeting, and rapid prototyping pathways
• Superb written & verbal communication; able to brief O‑8/SES and below
• Must hold or be able to obtain TS/SCI; willing to work in secure facilities on O‘ah

• Technical Program Management or Product Management experience in autonomy, UAS, USV, or C2 systems
• Prior operational experience in Fires, Targeting, unmanned systems, or electronic warfare
• INDOPACOM, DARPA, SOF, or Navy program exposure
• Prior military service
