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.

• Support the delivery of contract deliverables such as training manuals, pre-deployment site surveys, and technical documentation.
• Tackle complex issues related to hardware, software, and networking in unstructured situations, driving them to resolution.
• Communicate field issue status to internal and customer teams, keeping them informed.
• Support the development and implementation of comprehensive operational and logistical plans for various events.
• Ensure high availability and performance of imaging systems.
• Manage, unblock, and accelerate cross-team projects spanning multiple functional teams and cross-functional initiatives.
• Provide end-to-end support including hardware setup and software configuration.
• Pre-configure systems and ensure seamless integration with program infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot issues in real-time, applying analytical thinking and hands-on problem-solving skills.
• Author training documentation and instructions for end users and internal program usage.
• Configure and troubleshoot networking environments, including firewalls, routers, switches, access points, and cloud based environments.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience of strong problem solving in unstructured environments at the interface of hardware, software, and networking.
• Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with command line Linux troubleshooting and operation.
• Experience translating and decomposing technical concepts into operational requirements and performance specifications.
• Experience in project management and product deployment roles.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to travel more than 75% of the year to remote regions of the world for up to two months at a time, including to hazard zones.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• B.S. in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer science, or related technical field.
• Network+ and Linux+ or equivalent experience.
