Mission Operations Engineer, MaritimeActive$222K

At Anduril, we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface, surface, land, and air domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers. Deciding what to build — and in what order — requires people who can connect…

What you'll do

• Represent the operational perspective in cross-functional reviews, gate: decisions, and portfolio planning cycles, and serve as a trusted interpreter between customer language, operational need, product strategy, and engineering implications

• Partner with systems analysts, engineers, operators, program directors, and: business-line leaders to ensure technical solutions remain anchored to real warfighting needs as programs mature

• Convert results from at-sea demonstrations, field test events, and program: execution into portfolio-level lessons that change what we build, closing the loop between the deck plate and the roadmap

• Understand the enterprise-level mission analysis for the maritime portfolio —: identify operational problems, capability gaps, and opportunities for differentiated system employment, and maintain a coherent picture of them across programs rather than one program at a time and be able to communicate them to the customer across the Maritime suite of products

• Develop and refine concepts of operation, concepts of employment, operational: vignettes, mission threads, and use cases for current and future systems, and keep them current as designs and customer priorities move

• Inform capability roadmaps, IRAD and investment prioritization, and: product-market fit assessments by making the operational case for where the next dollar and the next engineer should go

What they're looking for

• Watch floor experience: TAO, watch officer, battle watch captain, or equivalent time in a maritime operations center, fleet or component watch floor, or afloat combat information center, where decisions were made on incomplete information against a clock
• Significant at-sea operational experience, including underway deployments,: and credibility with the operators who will employ these systems
• Prior military, DoD, defense industry, intelligence community, operational: test, or tactical level development experience
• Familiarity with CONOPS development, campaign analysis, wargaming, modeling: and simulation, operational test, or requirements development
• Experience working directly with government customers, senior military: leaders, product teams, or engineering organizations
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
