T&E Technical Program Manager, Strategic Defense

Washington, District of Columbia, 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.

Strategic Defense protects the United States and its allies from ballistic, hypersonic, andair-breathing threats. Those threats now arrive in seconds, maneuver mid-flight, and comein volleys designed to overwhelm the legacy systems meant to stop them — so we'rebuilding a software-defined command and control layer that can see, decide, and act faster than any human operator could alone. Our team spans autonomy, tracking, simulation andwargaming, hardware, systems engineering, and test and evaluation to build an accredited fire control system fielded rapidly and at scale.

Our team is actively seeking a dynamic and highly motivated Staff Test & Evaluation (T&E) Technical Program Manager (TPM) to quickly integrate into the team. In this role, you will support the Anduril Strategic Defense business line with your technical expertise and foster strategic collaboration across various teams. This includes working closely with program leadership, supporting companies, and government partners. As a valued member of our team, you will play an integral role in testing innovative solutions designed to address real-world challenges.

A significant part of your role will involve serving as the government point of contact, coordinating with other capability stakeholders on test objectives, and shaping test scenario requirements to drive Anduril's engineering priorities. This position underscores the importance of an iterative approach to our operations - design, test, field, and refine - thereby driving continuous improvement of our systems and services.

As part of a growing T&E team, this role may be asked to support both ground and flight test activities until the full team is in place.

• As a T&E TPM, under minimal supervision, you will determine and develop various approaches to achieve T&E goals and help guide and perform the completion of test
  activities, with a particular emphasis on hardware-in-the-loop lab-based ground tests.
• Coordinate and support execution of testing at private and government owned test ranges to test and evaluate hardware and software systems.
• Deconflict test events internally across Anduril programs and efforts.
• Be responsible for safe operation of all testing efforts, working in accordance with established operating procedures and practices.
• Work closely with Engineering to discuss test results, to include collected data and observations.
• Collect and perform initial test data analysis for the system under test.
• Support the design and implementation of live-virtual-constructive (LVC) test scenarios to stress the system under test without requiring live assets.
• Document test procedures and results, providing detailed reports for engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Conduct testing of classified capabilities in an unclassified setting, working with customer and Anduril security teams to ensure all protocols and security measures are…
