Full Job Description
ABOUT THE TEAM

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems across both hardware and software, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. The team is heavily involved in utilizing computer vision, perception, electro-optical, infrared, and sensor data to give our war fighters and allies an advantage.
ABOUT THE JOB

As a Technical Program Manager, you will work cross-functionally with product management, engineering, and other functional and program teams to organize, direct, and lead the development and deployment activities of one of our novel systems. You will be expected to use your technical knowledge in conjunction with your program management skills to plan and lead technical development programs and deliver the best outcome for Anduril and the customer. Developing and deploying our ISR capabilities requires thorough understanding of mission requirements, thoughtful orchestration of internal technical teams, and meticulous planning in the face of ambiguity. Your ability to collaborate and coordinate across multiple departments and disciplines will be key to driving our projects to completion on time and within budget.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Ownership: TPMs are owners; we're looking for those who have a tendency to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of high performance. Lead the project from start to finish with the customer and the engineering team. Work with technical leads to develop the right technical solution and then own the schedule and roadmap for success.
  • Embed/Engage: Work closely with our customers to understand their specific mission challenges and represent the customer as you work with Anduril engineers to shape capabilities. Understand technical implementation at the architectural level and propose technical alternatives when necessary; ask questions that clarify priorities. Anduril engineers rely on TPMs to understand the lay of the land and bring a perspective that informs the development process.
  • Build/Orchestrate: Work with Anduril engineers to build the solution and/or pivot deployment as needed to meet client needs. Successfully developing our complex hardware and software solutions requires collaborating with nearly every internal Anduril team -engineering, product, logistics, finance, legal, contracting, technical operations, and many more.
  • Narrative-Building: Possess a strong story-telling skillset and the ability to tailor that narrative across audiences (government stakeholders, other vendors, engineers, etc.). You'll make sure everyone on the team not only understands what we are building, but why as well.
  • Execute: Successfully operationally deploy and deliver successful events from demonstrations, to tests to full site deployments and sustainments at sites, all while ensuring the technical team performs on-schedule and on-budget. Remove obstacles to drive clarity and progress, identify gaps in communication or schedule, manage issue escalations and provide support to teams balancing competing priorities, and drive results proactively.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years relevant industry experience
  • Recent experience managing DoD programs
  • Operational background working with technically advanced systems requiring an understanding of complex software and hardware products.
  • Proven experience working with multi-disciplinary engineering teams and customers
  • Ability to create and deliver presentations and technical / programmatic reports to key leadership and the customer.
  • Willingness to travel
  • Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Proven ability to manage and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a strong attention to detail and focus on customer outcomes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify emerging trends and adapt product strategies accordingly.
  • Demonstrated experience working with both internal and external stakeholders across various technical domains, fostering collaboration and driving alignment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills.
  • Ability to organize, prioritize and simplify complex problems
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
