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.
Anduril’s Air Defense team builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, we provide mission critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Air Defense team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains our Family of Systems (FoS) in challenging operational environments worldwide. Operating in a "Hazard Zone" means going where our systems are needed most. We don’t just ship hardware to a port; we integrate our technology directly into active, austere, and contested environments to ensure our customers win.
As the Senior Deployment Lead (Hazard Zone), you will own the operational execution, technical rollout, and sustainment of Anduril’s suite of capabilities (including Lattice OS, Sentry Towers, Altius, and Anvil) in active-threat environments. Your mandate is execution on the ground where you will lead a high-performing expeditionary team of Technical Operations Engineers (TOPs), software or hardware engineers, and contracted support. You are the bridge between Anduril’s engineering teams in California and the tactical edge, ensuring our systems are deployed, integrated, and fully operational under the most challenging conditions on earth. This role requires a rare combination of technical field-engineering leadership, military/expeditionary operational experience, and the high-agency mindset required to solve complex problems in dynamic environments.
