Head of Mission Readiness, Altius 700New$209K

The opportunity

We are looking for a Head of Mission Readiness for Altius 700, based in Costa Mesa. Altius is Anduril's launched-effects platform, deployable from ground, air, or sea to conduct ISR and targeting, kinetic engagement, RF decoy, SIGINT, comms relay, and cyber warfare missions.

What you'll do

  • Direct all Mission Readiness and Integrated Product Support activities across: your business line, including execution, process, best practices, technical oversight, and budget.

  • Own O&S revenue and business line O&S margin.

  • Build service offerings that grow revenue, and cut fielding and sustainment cost to raise margin.

  • Partner directly with sourcing, quality, and flight test so sustainment: planning keeps pace with an actively evolving technical baseline.

  • Build training and field support materials ahead of first fielded units: reaching operators, since Altius 700 has no established sustainment program to build from.

  • Make sure products are mission ready: feed design-for-sustainment requirements into Engineering, and shape sustainment solutions per product, customer, and CONOP with Growth.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or related field.
  • + years of experience in DoD/government logistics or progressively complex: program administration experience, including leadership roles in operations, manufacturing engineering, or supply chain.
  • Demonstrates technical expertise and application of logistics management: principles, concepts, and practice as well as leadership skills including organizing, planning, scheduling, and coordinating workloads to meet established deadlines or milestones.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Ability to travel as needed for the business.
  • Ability to be local or relocate to Costa Mesa, CA.
  • Expertise in regulatory requirements as it relates to the DoD or government: logistics, preferably related to aircraft
  • Experience working with, in, and around Air Force or other military branch Integrated Logistics operations.
