Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Director of Product Security to lead the architecture and implementation of critical security features across the company's advanced technology portfolio, including AI-powered systems, command and control platforms, aerospace vehicles, and long-range sensors.
This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for developing and executing the technical security strategy across integrated software and robotics platforms. Unlike typical application security roles, this position focuses on securing autonomous systems, AI models running on edge hardware, and robotic platforms operating in contested environments. You will lead teams within the Product Security organization and partner closely with engineering teams across Anduril's business lines to ensure products are resilient against modern cyber threats.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the development and maturation of the security roadmap across Anduril's spectrum of business lines and products
- Leading teams within Product Security and collaborating with partner teams to ensure product resilience
- Building solutions with engineering teams to meet and exceed industry-standard security goals
- Developing strong partnerships with engineering teams to execute a well-aligned roadmap covering Anduril's global portfolio
- Engaging with teams to remediate weaknesses in designs, implementations, integrations, and processes
- Serving as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor to executives and partners on product security
- Owning pre-market and post-market processes that engineering teams leverage throughout the product development lifecycle
The ideal candidate has a background in electrical or software engineering with a focus on platform security, capable of conducting complex security architecture reviews, researching and mitigating exploits against hardware and software, and implementing critical features in collaboration with other engineering teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience securing embedded/cyber-physical systems, leading security engineering teams, and operating in environments where security failures have real-world consequences
- Possesses both strategic vision and technical depth, maintaining active involvement in security architecture and implementation
- Proficient with one or more programming languages (C/C++, Golang, Rust, Python)
- Experience assessing security of firmware, applications, network, IoT, or embedded systems
- Experience developing features for and improving security of firmware, applications, network, or embedded systems
- Familiarity with anti-tamper and reverse engineering mechanisms
- Experience in platform security engineering and secure SDLC implementation
- Strong and professional communication skills (written and verbal)
- Demonstrated commitment to practical, mission-enabling security solutions
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance
- U.S. Person status required (access to export-controlled data)
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Familiarity with security architectures of embedded, aerospace, or cyber-physical systems
- Experience building, testing, and delivering production-ready systems, especially for embedded and/or Linux systems
- Experience with programmable logic devices and their development tools
- Knowledge of cyber threat actors, their TTPs, and implications for weapon and space system operations
- Experience securing complex, AI-native systems
- Experience conducting incident response in cloud systems and embedded systems
