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.

What you'll do

• 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. You will orchestrate these events, leading a cross-functional team that spans hardware supply, logistics, engineering, and more to do whatever it takes to achieve mission success for Anduril and our customers. Meticulous, resourceful, and detail-oriented, you will manage every step of the deployment process, from site survey to testing, pack-out, installation, training, and sustainment. No job is too small. You consistently demonstrate extraordinary judgment, grit, and composure in high-pressure situations. You anticipate every contingency, build lightweight processes, soberly assess and mitigate risk, and deliberately learn from your experiences to continuously improve.

• New Equipment Training (NET) delivery: You own the NET mission for your deployments. You resource, develop and deliver the initial fielding training that takes customers from zero to operational proficiency on the Anduril Air Defense Family of Systems — building programs of instruction, training schedules, and hands-on individual and collective events tailored to each customer's mission and skill baseline. You ensure every customer that receives our capability is ready to employ it from day one.

• Sustainment training and readiness: Beyond initial fielding, you build and run the recurring sustainment training that keeps proficiency high as personnel rotate, threats evolve, and product capabilities advance. You establish training gates, proficiency standards, and refresh cycles; you plan and resource realistic sustainment events; and you measure your success by the enduring operational readiness of the forces you support.

• Relationship management: Build trust with customers, industry partners, users, and Anduril teammates through effective communication, positive attitude, and follow-through. With careful listening and observation, you internalize your counterpart's priorities and requirements. With empathy and responsiveness, you quickly build rapport, trust, and confidence in our capability. You develop relationships across the organization and communicate honestly and directly. You are committed to giving and receiving feedback well. Your partners always know what you expect from them, and know exactly what to expect from you.

• Mission expertise: Develop a deep knowledge of your customer's mission requirements, including the nature of the threats they face, regulatory challenges, resource constraints, rules of engagement, and more. You will become a subject matter expert and the voice of the customer, capable of effectively communicating requirements and CONOPS to Anduril engineers so they can continue to enhance our capability to meet evolving mission needs. You serve as the counter unmanned systems (cUAS) subject matter expert for your customers, helping them resource realistic training and manage all hardware and software configurations for cUAS-peculiar equipment. You are deeply motivated to shape the future of air defense.

• Product expertise: Develop a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Anduril's Family of Systems. You are innately curious about the technology underpinning our capability, and are not satisfied with a superficial understanding of how and why it works. You are constantly educating yourself about the strengths and weaknesses of different sensor modalities, the challenges of sensor fusion, power and networking requirements, and more. You will become an opinionated power user who can reliably forecast how our capability will perform against a broad range of threat profiles, environmental conditions, and mission constraints.
