Own the Air Vehicle System Design Document (SDD): maintain, evolve, and enforce the design baseline that drives our partner's air vehicle from Anduril's mission needs
Represent Anduril in partner vehicle engineering design reviews: advocate for military mission requirements (payload, power, survivability, flight performance)
Support the CE in defining ICDs and manage the full co-development technical: interface: space claims, power/thermal budgets, structural provisions, flight envelope allocations
Drive air vehicle configuration decisions that affect mission capability —: payload bay geometry, antenna placement, sensor structural provisions, power architecture
Own TPM management across the air vehicle interface: track verification closure, manage open technical risks
Coordinate vehicle-level architecture decisions from Anduril's perspective —: balancing acoustic signature, cruise speed, payload capacity, and certification timeline
What they're looking for
- Work with our partner to provide simulation models and support operational analysis teams in mission trades
- Plan capability increments and mission system integration phasing: define the path from early flight to full mission capability
- Support TEMP buildout, design milestones, and flight test planning
- Own the air vehicle certification strategy interface: coordinate Anduril's military airworthiness approach with partner's commercial certification
