Anduril Industries is a defense technology company building next-generation electromagnetic warfare (EW) platforms integrated with Lattice OS, an AI-powered command and control system. The Mission Support team ensures these systems are operationally ready, deployed successfully, and continuously supported across multiple theaters.
As a Mission Support Engineer, you will be the critical technical link between fielded EW systems and engineering teams. You will own the operational performance of deployed systems, serving as the primary interface between field operations and product development. Your responsibilities include investigating and resolving system anomalies end-to-end—from initial detection through root cause isolation, corrective action, and documentation. You will contribute to validation and fielding of new EW software builds, including pre-deployment verification and operational acceptance testing.
You will leverage Linux diagnostics, log analysis, and command-line tooling to drive resolution and deploy software solutions. You will partner with engineering and product teams to enhance fleet-wide monitoring, alerting, and health telemetry for EW assets. A key responsibility is aggregating and interpreting field performance data to identify failure patterns, inform preventive maintenance strategies, and guide engineering investment decisions.
You will serve as a trusted technical point of contact for customers, managing issues with clear communication, defined timelines, and follow-through from identification to closure. You will translate operational feedback and mission requirements into actionable input for product development, advocating for capability improvements grounded in real-world employment. You will develop deep technical fluency across the EW product portfolio, enabling effective communication between operators, engineers, and program stakeholders.
Additional responsibilities include orchestrating cross-functional responses to complex sustainment challenges, aligning business operations, engineering, and field support teams to optimize system availability. You will provide structured mission insights and deployment lessons-learned to software and hardware engineering teams, shaping roadmap priorities and informing design decisions. Travel to field sites is optional and not required.
