Lindsay Trice
Product Manager
VISION TURNED REALITY
Bringing cutting-edge concepts to fruition
A promising idea is only as good as its execution. Trice emphasizes the importance of attention to customer needs at Anduril, pivoting when necessary, and asking the right questions along the way: “How long will it stay in prototype, and what criteria should be met for a larger production run?” By bringing an intentional mindset to each step of the process, Trice says attention to detail adds up to a successful big picture.
As a product manager, working here is interesting because of the potential breadth of the product line, and the unique blend of software and hardware challenges.

Gokul Subramanian
Perception Engineer
ACROSS THE STACK
Influence the intersection of product and technology
Subramanian likens the perception team to the “eyes and ears” of Anduril. It’s an apt comparison: His team works across the entirety of the company’s products, enjoying autonomy over the tech stack while weighing the effects of engineering decisions. To do so successfully, Subramanian applies a deliberately integrative tact: “The challenge here is coordinating such a complex system with so many interdependencies,” he said.
There are always opportunities to move across the stack. Most of our projects require a cross-disciplinary approach, so you’re never siloed to only working within your team.
Gokul
Perception Engineer
Adnan Esmail
Head of Electrical
SOLID FOUNDATION
Creating infrastructure that propels innovation
If software is the beating heart of the organization, then hardware is the backbone supporting it. As an engineering lead, Esmail provides that critical support by building out the architecture through which Anduril’s tech fulfills its aims — making for work that’s as educational as it is fast-paced. “Information is shared openly, and it’s easy for individuals to get involved in a new project or collaborate,” Esmail said.
We're structured as a matrix organization, which lends itself to the broad exposure of functional teams and many different engineering programs.

An Insider's view of Anduril

What are some social events your company does?

Anduril has so many amazing events that it is tough to name them all but some of my favorite are: friends and family nights in the office, summer outings, happy hours, bowling events, and the annual Huntington Beach air show. Through the numerous events, I’ve been able to get to know so many coworkers cross function that I wouldn’t meet otherwise.

Christine

Accounting Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Taking part in Anduril's flight test team enables the opportunity to not only collaborate with the software and hardware teams on developmental testing but also run the Ghost flight operations routinely.

Ruby

Flight Test Engineer

What are some things you learned at the company?

I work on a multi-agent planning and tasking system. Its goal is to autonomously task assets, like drones, to efficiently complete an objective. Contributing to the ground up design of this cutting edge and complex project encourages a lot of creativity. At the same time, I get to engage in highly technical discussions and implementations.

Spencer

Robotics Software Engineer

What does your typical day look like?

Every day at Anduril is an adventure plucked right out of your favorite Sci-Fi novel. For most people here, it isn't a job - it's just engineers having fun, all while ensuring that our soldiers have the tools they need to succeed.

As an Anduril engineer, you do not just work from the (awesome) office/lab. Lattice devices work in rugged environments and you will also occasionally work in rugged environments. Going into the field to experience real world device behavior and rapidly prototype solutions is often the best way to get reps on a problem and deliver results in hours instead of months. You are well-prepared for this role since you’ve spent a few years writing C++ code in a production environment and have experienced the joys (and frustrations) of manipulating directly attached devices. Your attention to detail is critical to your success; you will quickly become an expert on in-the-weeds idiosyncrasies of device APIs and sensor behavior. You own your integration code from early prototype through deployment in a way that doesn't mean you're the only one that can ever own it. Finally, your contributions to internal tools and frameworks make existing and future integrations even better.
