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.

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.

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.

  • 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

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience explaining technical terminology and solutions to a non‑technical audience is a plus.
• Prior military or government agency exposure / experience preferred.
• Munitions storage and handling controls.
• Ownership mentality with strong initiative in managing your own work, and possibly that of others. You should have a natural bias to assume responsibility.
