Job description

Technical Program Manager, Electronic Warfare

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, 3‑D 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

We are seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager with prior training and experience in a relevant engineering field, to plan, organize, direct, and lead internal and external program activities. The Technical Program Manager will lead day‑to‑day execution of program initiatives and tasks – working with Business Operations to manage the budget and schedule, as well as with the customer, and the Growth team to satisfy the technical objectives while meeting all of the contractual requirements.

What You’ll Do
  • Ownership: TPMs are owners; we’re looking for those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of performance. Lead the project from start to finish with the customer and the engineering team. Develop the technical path for success, identify engineering needs, and validate the projected product outcome with the customer. TPMs are empowered to quickly assume high levels of responsibility and entrust them to actively own their account and shape its success.
  • Embed/Engage: Work side‑by‑side with our customers to understand their specific mission challenges and represent the customer as you work with Anduril engineers to shape products that solve critical national and international security challenges. Anduril engineers rely on TPMs to understand the lay of the land and bring a perspective that informs the product development process.
  • Build/Orchestrate: Work with Anduril engineers to build the solution and/or pivot development as needed to meet client needs. Successfully developing our complex hardware and software products requires collaborating with nearly every internal Anduril team—engineering, product, logistics, finance, legal, contracting, technical operations, and many more. You’ll be responsible for ensuring each party is engaged and informed, and will therefore become well‑versed in what it takes to really bring the best of Anduril to our customers.
  • Plan: Develop, coordinate and communicate the path to success with both internal and external partners. Work with clients and engineers to build sprint plans, execution plans, milestones.
  • Grow our business through customer success: In addition to the operational and executive relationships you own, you will be responsible for meeting commercial targets that drive top‑line growth. This requires establishing committed and trust‑based partnerships with our customers to not only help them solve their immediate problems, but also to foresee future opportunities where Anduril’s technology can make them more effective. Understanding Anduril’s value proposition and articulating how we can have an impact on a customer’s problem set, from the executive level to the end user, is critical to positioning Anduril for the future.
Requirements
  • B.S. (minimum) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
  • 5+ years relevant industry experience.
  • Experience working in a DoD environment and in small teams.
  • Experience with communication systems or software defined radios.
  • Experience with the deployment and integration of sophisticated hardware and software systems.
  • Experience with building, leading and developing teams of engineers.
  • Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead and follow.
  • Comfortable with setting and achieving goals in an amorphous environment.
  • Comfortable with working in limited resource environments.
  • Prior systems engineering or software integration experience is a plus.
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • CAPM or PMP certification a plus.
  • Proven experience leading multi‑disciplinary engineering teams to successful completion of projects.
  • Able to perform in a fast paced environment.
  • Collaborative problem solving to achieve work goals.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with Microsoft Project or equivalent project management software.
  • Ability to organize, prioritize and simplify complex problems.
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced, collaborative team environment.
  • Lead team to develop solutions to complex, time‑sensitive problems.
  • Maintain customer relationship with timely, accurate, and meaningful communications.
  • Creation of project proposals, program plans, reports, and process documentation.
