Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Training and Adoption Manager, you will plan, resource, and execute world‑class technical training instruction, enabled by a deep understanding of our products and each customer’s unique demands. You will serve as subject matter expert on Anduril’s growing product offerings, including, but not limited to, Counter Intrusion and Counter Unmanned Systems. You will also help drive adoption of our products by understanding user workflows and surfacing pain points. Multi‑functional work and proactive communication across internal teams will help you drive the end‑to‑end customer experience. If you are passionate about teaching ground‑breaking technology, contributing to the national security mission, interacting alongside professionals that span a wide range of disciplines, and providing best‑in‑class training support, Anduril is interested in speaking with you. We are a fast‑growing company at the early stages of our growth and you will be expected to immediately develop and own material and projects that will have a significant impact on the trajectory of the programs you support. Anduril fosters a diverse, collaborative culture with plenty of opportunities for ownership and professional growth.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Create, shape, and manage training collateral for our product capabilities and technology to end users
  • Work with engineers, program managers, and subject matter experts to convert product capabilities and tasks, techniques, and procedures into learning objectives with matching course content

• Orchestrate the expeditionary delivery of training on Anduril products
  • Lead classroom presentations and hands‑on instruction onsite at customer locations, including in Hazard Zone locations, and Anduril test sites
  • Educate end users from military, government agency, and commercial backgrounds on Anduril’s hardware and software offerings
• Collaborate across nearly every Anduril team
  • Work across a wide range of Anduril teams, including product development, engineering, design, and operations to capture product updates and support training of end users
• Serve as the voice of our customers
  • Build a bridge between our end users and Anduril, capturing feedback, identifying pain points, and informing the development of new product features

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Ownership mentality with strong initiative in managing your own work, and possibly that of others. You should have a natural bias to assume responsibility.
• Training background with expertise in planning, developing, and delivering training. Experience explaining technical terminology and solutions to a non‑technical audience is a plus.
• Understanding and proven application of ADDIE, adult learning theories, and instructional design for training program development in a technical field.
• Adaptive, creative communication style that fits a variety of audiences and works across a variety of mediums.
• Ability to work in cross‑functional environments and influence of others with no hierarchical relationship
• Enthusiastic about transforming US and allied military capabilities with advanced technology
• US. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data
• Willing to travel up to 50%, to include travel to Hazard Zones, for approximately 20‑30 days at a time.
