Hazard Zone Senior Deployment LeadNew$104K–$125K

The opportunity

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

  • Own the Deployment Lifecycle: Lead the end-to-end tactical planning, site surveying, installation, and configuration of Anduril's hardware and software suites in austere/hazard zones.

  • Operational Readiness: Ensure all personnel, equipment, and logistical pipelines are prepared to execute rapid deployments on short notice.

  • Crisis & Risk Management: Make critical operational decisions under pressure to protect personnel and technology assets while maintaining mission capability in volatile areas.

  • Lead the Ground Team: Directly manage and mentor a team of TOPs and technicians. Drive technical excellence and accountability in the field.

  • Hands-on Troubleshooting: Act as the escalation point for complex technical failures on-site. Work alongside TOPs to diagnose and resolve issues spanning mesh networking, RF spectrum interference, power distribution, and software integration.

  • Bridge the Gap to HQ: Translate raw operational data, edge case failures, and feedback from the field directly to Anduril Product and Engineering teams to accelerate product development.

What they're looking for

  • Embed with the Customer: Act as the primary, trusted operational point of contact for tactical commanders, special operations units, and mission partners on-site.
  • Accelerate Adoption: Oversee the rapid training of military operators, transitioning them from basic users to proficient system operators who trust Anduril technology with their lives.
  • Mission Alignment: Ensure the deployed technical footprint directly aligns with the operational commander’s concept of operations (CONOP).
  • Expeditionary Leadership: 6+ years of leadership experience in tactical, austere, or high-threat environments (e.g., military deployment, defense contracting, expeditionary government operations, or disaster response).
