The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • Develop, implement, and maintain compliance programs to ensure adherence to: FAA regulations, including Part 21, Part 91, Part 107, Part 135, or other applicable rules.

  • Prepare and submit regulatory applications, including FAA Certificates of: Authorization (COAs) — new, amended, and altitude/airspace expansions — 44807 exemptions, Part 107 waivers and authorizations, Certificates of Waiver, and type certification requests.

  • Own the intake, prioritization, and end-to-end tracking of airspace access: requests from across the company, maintaining a single authoritative system of record from initial request through FAA decision and post-approval conditions.

  • Serve as a liaison with the FAA, Department of Defense (DoD), and other: regulatory bodies to obtain necessary approvals for flight operations and experimental testing.

  • Coordinate the non-FAA approvals that also gate flight test: including radio frequency and spectrum authorizations — so that airspace and supporting authorizations arrive in step rather than sequentially.

  • Develop compliance strategies for new technologies, including autonomous: systems, beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations, and large UAS.

What they're looking for

  • Build and maintain the team’s compliance reporting: track submission volume, approval and denial turnaround, cycle time, and aging of open requests; deliver a recurring readout to program and company leadership on regulatory throughput, bottlenecks, and risk.
  • Support test site and range activation: work with site leads and flight operations on airspace design, deconfliction, NOTAMs, operating limitations, and standing authorizations for recurring test activity.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of FAA regulatory changes and provide guidance: to internal stakeholders on compliance implications.
  • Support audits, inspections, and internal reviews to ensure ongoing regulatory adherence.
