Anduril Industries  · Costa Mesa, California, United States  · Jul 22, 2026

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. About This Role You'll own the execution of programs that put EW capability on aircraft — manned and unmanned. These are complex, multi-disciplinary integration efforts involving RF hardware, embedded software, firmware, flight qualification, airframe interfaces, and demanding government customers. You'll manage programs from contract award through flight test, qualification, and fielding. Airborne EW programs move fast but carry high technical risk. Platform integration constraints, flight safety requirements, and limited test windows create an environment where planning, anticipation, and clear communication are the difference between on-time delivery and a year of rework. You'll need to understand enough about the technology to have credible conversations with engineers and customers — and enough about program execution to keep complex efforts on track. What You'll Do • Own end-to-end execution of airborne EW programs — scope, schedule, budget, risk, customer relationships, and delivery • Manage programs...

Responsibilities:
Own end-to-end execution of airborne EW programs — scope, schedule, budget, risk, customer relationships, and delivery
Manage programs involving hardware/software integration onto airborne platforms with all associated qualification and certification requirements
Serve as primary customer interface for DoD program offices (PEOs, PMAs, SOCOM, platform integrators) on programmatic matters
Coordinate across RF engineering, embedded software, FPGA/DSP, systems engineering, flight test, and production teams to deliver on commitments
Manage contract financials — EACs, burn rate, margin, invoicing, and revenue recognition
Requirements:
Plan and coordinate flight test events, ground integration activities, and platform qualification milestones
Manage subcontractor and vendor relationships as needed for platform-specific integration
Proactively identify and mitigate program risks — surface issues early with data and proposed solutions
Support capture and proposal efforts for airborne EW growth opportunities (BOEs, schedules, technical volumes)
5+ years of demonstrated success managing or leading complex defense technology programs — delivering real systems to real customers on contract
Direct experience with airborne systems: flight qualification, platform integration, DO-178/DO-254, airworthiness, or flight test coordination
Track record of managing programs with combined hardware, software, and firmware deliverables in a defense or aerospace environment
Experience as the primary interface with DoD program offices or platform integrators (prime or sub)
Comfort operating in technically complex environments — you can follow an engineering discussion about RF, embedded systems, or signal processing without needing everything translated
Proven ability to manage scope, schedule, and budget simultaneously without letting any one collapse
Experience working directly with software and hardware engineering teams — not through layers of intermediaries
Active U.S. Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
