Deployment & Training Manager, Commercial

Irvine, California, United States

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 Air Defense team builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide mission critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats.

Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Air Defense team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains our Family of Systems (FoS) in challenging operational environments worldwide.

As a Deployment and Training Lead on the Air Defense team, you are responsible for delivering, training, and sustaining a capability that meets our customers' mission requirements and exceeds their expectations.

You own the full lifecycle of a deployment — from planning and installation through new equipment training, sustainment, and continuous improvement. You fulfill this responsibility through rigorous operational execution, detail orientation, proactive communication, deep mission understanding, and hard-won product expertise.

You feel ownership over the health and performance of all assets and technologies deployed to your customers and users, and ensure that the system delivers when they need it most. You are equally invested in ensuring that end users are trained, confident, and proficient in employing the capability.

You represent Anduril to our customers, building their confidence and trust through your professionalism and commitment to excellence. You also represent our customers back to Anduril, communicating user feedback and lessons learned to continuously improve our product and our team in response to evolving mission needs. Above all, you set the standard for what good looks like for your deployment, and you rally your Anduril teammates to meet that standard every single day.

In this role, you will manage deployments and the associated training enterprise for Anduril's Air Defense products across a region, ensuring mission readiness in support of national security infrastructure. Collaborating closely with the Program Manager and Program Operations Manager, you will play a crucial role in developing long-term deployment, training, and sustainment operations aligned with customer priorities. As a key team member, you will engage across multiple business lines and facilitate customer interactions, making flexibility, humility, and a collaborative mindset essential qualities for success.

• Deployment planning and execution: We execute hundreds of deployment events each year, including site installations, test and evaluation exercises, demonstrations, and training and maintenance visits.
