Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Air Defense team builds networked sensors and effectors that detect, track, identify, and defeat unmanned aerial systems (UAS) threats.
As a Deployment and Training Lead on the Air Defense team, you own the full lifecycle of customer deployments—from planning and installation through training, sustainment, and continuous improvement. You are responsible for delivering capabilities that meet mission requirements and exceed customer expectations.
Key responsibilities include:
**Deployment Planning & Execution:** Orchestrate hundreds of deployment events annually, including site installations, test and evaluation exercises, demonstrations, training events, and maintenance visits. Lead cross-functional teams spanning hardware supply, logistics, and engineering. Manage every step from site survey through testing, pack-out, installation, training, and sustainment. Demonstrate extraordinary judgment, grit, and composure in high-pressure situations. Anticipate contingencies, build lightweight processes, assess and mitigate risk, and continuously improve based on experience.
**Training Development & Delivery:** Own the training mission for your deployments. Develop and deliver training curricula across multiple formats—computer-based simulations, knowledge portals, hands-on individual and collective training events. Create and maintain training materials that evolve with product capabilities. Identify knowledge gaps, plan and resource realistic training events, and ensure end users are proficient and confident in employing the full Family of Systems.
**Relationship Management:** Build trust with customers, industry partners, users, and Anduril teammates through effective communication, positive attitude, and follow-through. Listen carefully, internalize counterpart priorities, and quickly build rapport and confidence. Develop relationships across the organization and communicate honestly and directly. Commit to giving and receiving feedback well.
**Mission Expertise:** Develop deep knowledge of customer mission requirements, including threat nature, regulatory challenges, resource constraints, and rules of engagement. Become a subject matter expert and voice of the customer, communicating requirements and CONOPS to engineers. Serve as the counter unmanned systems (cUAS) subject matter expert, helping customers resource realistic training and manage hardware and software configurations for cUAS-peculiar equipment.
**Product Expertise:** Develop thorough understanding of Anduril's Family of Systems capabilities and limitations. Be innately curious about underlying technology. Educate yourself continuously about sensor modalities, sensor fusion challenges, power and networking requirements. Become an opinionated power user who can reliably forecast capability performance against various threat profiles, environmental conditions, and mission constraints.
**Hardware & Software Configuration Management:** Manage end-to-end hardware and software configurations for all assigned equipment at deployment sites. Ensure systems are properly configured, updated, and maintained to deliver peak performance.
You represent Anduril to customers, building their confidence through professionalism and commitment to excellence. You also represent customers back to Anduril, communicating user feedback and lessons learned to continuously improve products, curriculum, and team capabilities in response to evolving mission needs. You set the standard for what good looks like and rally Anduril teammates to meet that standard daily.
