Anduril is a defense technology company, bringing Silicon Valley talent and funding to the defense sector. Our technology helps our customers solve their toughest challenges by enabling them to make better, more informed decisions in life-and-death situations. We’ve assembled a diverse team of experts in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, optics, and data analysis that are creating software and hardware solutions to radically evolve the capabilities of the United States and our allies. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.
As a TPM, you will be responsible for ensuring mission success by owning the development and integration of various Anduril products and technologies with various government partners. These projects will be diverse in nature and require you to be organized and flexible to adapt to changing situations. On one project, you may be working with the customer to clarify how each of its mission requirements can be met through Anduril's core products, including the plan, scope and work required. In another situation, you may be acting as a hybrid product/project manager, crafting a vision with the customer, and leading a team of engineers to transform that vision into a tangible new product. During all this, you must be able to collaborate with both external and internal partners, communicate plans clearly to all parties, and lead teams towards success.
Success in this position also hinges on systems/engineering experience, or the ability to learn technical concepts- mainly software related- quickly. Digging into the details to understanding system dependencies, technical risks and the impact of key architectural decisions with the engineering team is a must. You will be expected to utilize your technical capability in conjunction with your program/project management skills to deliver the best outcome for Anduril and the customer.

Responsibilities

  • Ownership: Lead the project from start to finish with the customer and the engineering team. Develop the technical path for success, identify engineering needs, and validate the projected product outcome with the customer
  • Embed/Engage: Integrate closely with our clients, understand their challenges and shape Anduril’s platforms to meet specific mission needs
  • Build/Orchestrate: Work with Anduril engineers to build the solution and/or pivot development as needed to meet client needs
  • Plan: Develop, coordinate and communicate the path to success with both internal and external partners
  • Grow: Scale the business through our client’s own success

Qualifications

  • Experience with the deployment and integration of sophisticated hardware and software systems
  • Experience with building, leading and developing teams of engineers
  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead and follow.
  • Comfortable with setting and achieving goals in an amorphous environment.
  • Comfortable with working in limited resource environments.
  • Prior systems engineering or software integration experience is a plus
  • Minimum 5 yrs of work experiences required
  • Experience with government contracts a plus.

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.

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.

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.
