Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Sustainment Engineer to architect and lead the company's Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and Integrated Product Support (IPS) digital toolchain. This is a strategic engineering role focused on transforming how military systems are sustained in the field.
You will architect Anduril's ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up, designing integrated, automation-first workflows that collapse what traditionally takes teams of analysts months into repeatable processes running in hours. You will define and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data (LPD) environment—a unified data model connecting FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis), RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance), MTA (Maintenance Task Analysis), LORA (Level of Repair Analysis), spares, provisioning, and technical data across programs. This single source of truth will produce any contractual deliverable format on demand, including GEIA-STD-0007, Power Log-J, and MIL-STD-1388.
Key responsibilities include identifying where AI and automation can accelerate sustainment analysis cycles and building those capabilities into the toolchain; building integrations that propagate BOM changes, ECOs, and design decisions through sustainment artifacts automatically; defining the target-state sustainment toolchain architecture and leading the transition from legacy point-tools to an integrated environment; driving feedback loops between field/depot operational data and sustainment planning models; and representing sustainment data architecture in enterprise PLM/ERP governance and cross-functional digital infrastructure decisions.
This role requires deep expertise in defense/aerospace sustainment practices, hands-on experience building logistics analysis artifacts, and the ability to bridge technical sustainment language with software architecture and program management concepts. You will work across engineering, operations, and external stakeholders to ensure every Anduril product remains effective and reliable in the field.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or ILS roles within defense or aerospace
- Deep practitioner experience in Logistics Support Analysis—has personally built FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data (not just oversight or review)
- Demonstrated ability to structure and manage Logistics Product Data in accordance with the S-Series ILS framework (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007, using standard logistics information systems (PowerLog-J, COMPASS, SLICwave, EAGLE, or equivalents)
- Python or scripting proficiency—able to build data connectors, extend automation, and prototype integrations
- Systems-level thinking in data models and architecture—can define how information flows between tools and organizations, not just how to use individual applications
- Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred) and understanding of how sustainment data integrates with ERP and configuration management
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- Ability to travel for on-site support, stakeholder engagement, and tool deployment
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Demonstrated interest in applying AI/automation to engineering workflows—has experimented with, prototyped, or deployed AI-assisted analysis tools
- Experience with DoD 5000 series acquisition, CDRL management, and contractual deliverable compliance
- Familiarity with S1000D technical publication standards and IETM authoring tools (RapidAuthor or equivalent)
- Understanding of Readiness-Based Sparing, supply chain data modeling, or provisioning workflows
- Prior experience at a defense prime frustrated by the pace of digital transformation
- Strong communication skills bridging technical sustainment language, software/data architecture concepts, and program management needs
- Proven ability to drive change against established legacy approaches in fast-paced environments
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace) or Computer Science/Information Systems
