Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking Product Support Engineers for the Dive-XL team to support and maintain the fleet of Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicles. You will triage incidents, drive root cause analyses, and coordinate engineering changes across multiple disciplines.

You will contribute to sparing strategy and tooling, ensure robust diagnostics, and author authoritative troubleshooting publications while working a rotating schedule that includes off-hours support.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in engineering on complex systems.
• Ability to independently root cause faults from limited or conflicting data.
• Hands-on experience with real hardware in a field/integration environment.
• Sound engineering judgment under time pressure, including degraded operation assessment.
• Strong coordination and communication to own an issue and drive resolution.
• Experience with configuration management and fleet-wide change processes.
• Experience with robotic or autonomous maritime systems is advantageous.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Provide on-call engineering support to fielded AUVs, including out-of-hours on a rotating roster.
• Determine root cause from logs, telemetry, config and maintenance history; define workarounds.
• Lead root cause investigations to defensible conclusions and determine design/production/maintenance implications.
• Chair MRB dispositions and manage fleet-wide system limitations.
• Translate fleet data into engineering requirements and drive changes with design teams.
• Develop monitoring, alerting and diagnostic tooling and runbooks for faster responses.
• Publish service bulletins and track incorporation across the fleet.
• Create or approve operations, troubleshooting and maintenance publications.
• Maintain and govern as-maintained configuration and SBOM.

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 TEAM

Product Support Engineering exists to maximize the operational availability of the Dive-XL fleet. We sit between the teams in the field who operate and sustain the system alongside our customers, and the engineering teams that design it. When something unexpected happens — at sea, at a maintenance facility, in the middle of the night — we are the engineering team that answers, works out what happened, and decides how to proceed. The other part of the job is making sure it doesn't happen twice. We drive reliability and supportability improvements into the system, and keep the fleet's configuration and documentation current as it evolves. Between us we cover every engineering discipline — software, electrical, mechanical, systems.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for Product Support Engineers to join the Dive-XL team, supporting the teams operating and maintaining Anduril's Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicles. You will support the operational fleet on a rotating roster that extends out-of-hours, providing anything from immediate technical guidance to formal root cause analysis. Each request means assessing severity, scoping the work and doing the investigation. From there you'll direct the engineering change, maintenance activity, workaround or documentation fix that resolves it, and own its rollout across every affected vehicle. You will also work to reduce support demand through sparing strategy, reliability and supportability improvements, better diagnostics and tooling, and supportability requirements fed into new variants during design. You will need genuine depth in an engineering discipline, enough breadth to triage across the others, and the judgment to make a call on limited data.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Provide on-call engineering support to the teams operating and maintaining fielded AUVs, including outside business hours on a rotating roster
• Establish what happened from logs, telemetry, configuration and maintenance history, bound the issue to a subsystem and failure mode and define workarounds that restore capability
• Plan and lead root cause investigations to a defensible conclusion — systemic or isolated, and whether design, production, maintenance or operation induced
• Chair Material Review Board dispositions and manage fleet-wide system limitations, including whether to operate in a degraded state
• Turn fleet data into engineering recommendations and requirements, and drive those changes through the design teams
• Build the monitoring, alerting and diagnostic tooling that surfaces problems before the field reports them, and the runbooks and knowledge base that shorten every response
• Author and distribute service bulletins, and track incorporation across the fleet to completion
• Create or approve operations, troubleshooting, incident response and maintenance publications
• Govern the as-maintained configuration and SBOM

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• A genuine interest and 5+ years of professional experience in software, electrical, mechanical, mechatronic or systems engineering on complex systems
• Demonstrated ability to independently root cause difficult, ambiguous faults from limited or conflicting data
• Hands-on experience with real hardware in an operational, field, integration and test, production or maintenance environment
• Sound engineering judgment under time pressure, including assessing the acceptability of degraded operation
• Strong coordination and communication, able to own an issue, manage stakeholders and drive it to resolution or a clean handover, and to explain a technical finding to engineers and non-engineers
• Experience with configuration management, engineering change processes, and fleet-wide change incorporation
• Experience with robotic and/or autonomous systems within the maritime environment is advantageous
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
