Anduril Industries is seeking a Maritime Technical Operations Engineer to join its Field Operations team supporting autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) platforms. This role combines hands-on technical expertise with global customer-facing operations in a fast-paced defense technology environment.
You will deploy globally to support customer-fielded AUV operations, serving as a product expert in troubleshooting, mission planning, repair, operation, and maintenance. Key responsibilities include: leading field troubleshooting and repair of AUVs in austere environments; operating as the primary technical liaison between customers, engineering, and operations teams; mastering AUV subsystems and educating others on their operation; collaborating on training development for customer deliveries; and gathering customer feedback to inform product improvements and documentation.
The role requires extensive hands-on experience with at-sea robotic systems, ideally in a customer support context. You'll need strong problem-solving skills in unstructured environments at the intersection of hardware, software, and networking. Technical proficiency with Linux, command-line interfaces, and software debugging is essential. You must be comfortable with extended field deployments (30-45+ days OCONUS), capable of lifting 50 lbs, and able to pass a U.S. Coast Guard Medical Certificate and obtain a Top Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include a bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or ocean engineering; prior military or overseas contracting experience; expertise in deck operations with ship-based systems; electronics troubleshooting skills; experience training junior staff; and knowledge of subsea acoustic sensors and offshore HSE practices. This is an ideal opportunity for a senior technical professional seeking to apply deep operational expertise in cutting-edge defense technology.
