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 JOB
Operations Associates at Anduril have two primary responsibilities:

1. Improving Anduril’s Operations: Operations Associates work across & within every division and functional organization to improve the processes that define & support Anduril’s growth. Operations Associates build out data-capture and analytics-reporting muscles to drive positive change over the long term.
2. Executing Special Projects: Operations Associatesare frequently pulled into high-priority initiatives impacting many Anduril teams that must be solved, but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person’s job description. They are some of the first individuals to get tapped when a messy problem needs solving.

Much of the time, both of these go hand-in-hand.
As an Operations Associate, you will be critical to supporting both of these responsibilities. While you’ll be a member of a Functional or Division Operations team (e.g., Production, Strategic Real Estate, Air Dominance & Strike, Connected Warfare, etc.), you will often be embedded in the business, working cross-functionally with leaders and other stakeholders to solve its messiest problems, capture data, problem-solve by acting upon that data, and enable others to do the same.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own operational projects end-to-end, from definition, to solutioning, to implementation. You will be handed ambiguous problems with little prescription on how to solve them. If this does excite you, this is not the role for you.
