Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking Mission Operations Engineers to manage the execution and growth of customer accounts. This role bridges product, engineering, sales, and logistics teams to own customer relationships and deploy Anduril's advanced defense systems in support of military missions.
Key responsibilities include orchestrating product deployments to the field, training end users, and ensuring high performance of hardware and software systems. You will lead planning and deployment of flagship products while managing forward-deployed accounts (up to 75% travel required). The role demands close collaboration with engineering, logistics, and technical operations teams to address customer needs in real time.
You will grow business through customer success by establishing trust-based partnerships, meeting commercial targets, and identifying future opportunities for Anduril's technology. This requires understanding the company's value proposition and articulating impact at both executive and end-user levels.
A critical aspect of the role is shaping products to meet mission needs. You will work directly with customers to understand their specific challenges and represent their perspective to Anduril's engineering teams, informing product development for national and international security applications.
Successful execution requires collaboration across nearly every Anduril function—business development, engineering, product, logistics, finance, legal, contracting, and technical operations. You will ensure all parties are engaged and informed throughout complex deployments.
The ideal candidate demonstrates a mission-first mindset, prioritizing customer and warfighter needs while understanding the strategic importance of U.S. and allied defense capabilities. You should have an ownership mentality with a natural bias toward assuming responsibility, healthy skepticism, and a commitment to performance culture. The role offers rapid advancement and high levels of responsibility for those who can navigate organizational complexity and drive results.
