About the job

Anduril Industries is a pioneering defense technology firm dedicated to revolutionizing military capabilities for the United States and its allies through advanced technology. By integrating the expertise, innovation, and business philosophy of the most forward-thinking companies of the 21st century into the defense sector, Anduril is redefining the design, manufacturing, and sales processes of military systems. Our suite of systems operates on Lattice OS, an AI-driven operating system that converts vast data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control platform. As we navigate a new era of strategic competition, Anduril vows to deliver state-of-the-art autonomy, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technologies to military applications within months rather than years.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • You will serve as the Technical Lead responsible for expanding Anduril’s Fury product line into international markets. We seek a robust technical leader to manage the design process, deeply understand aircraft specifications, and establish technical development roadmaps outlining the scope, cost, and schedule necessary for prototyping, testing, and manufacturing export-ready Fury aircraft.
  • Your role entails close collaboration with the Program Chief Engineer, Program Director, Anduril Growth, export compliance, technical departments, U. S. and foreign suppliers, and government subject matter experts and senior leaders.
  • You will spearhead the development of program vision and strategies, operational concepts (CONOPs), alternative configurations, and essential engineering activities to support these initiatives. As the Chief Engineer for International Programs, you will control the technical solution space and vehicle configurations, which includes establishing requirements, design review criteria, executing trade studies, and conducting operational analyses to gauge system effectiveness.
  • Effective communication is paramount in this position. You will clearly convey information to executive leadership, collaborating teams across Anduril, and current and prospective customers. Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce white papers and technical presentations, will be crucial for success.
  • Provide clear guidance to the broader Anduril team and drive efforts towards achieving success.
  • The initial phase of your role will involve high-level individual contributions to kickstart the program. Success in this area will lead to the establishment of a product line of exportable Fury systems, necessitating the assembly of a technical and programmatic team around business opportunities.
  • Develop budget estimates and schedules in partnership with functional engineering teams.
  • Create staffing estimates and collaborate with functional engineering and operations teams to attract top talent and integrate them into the team.
