ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers' most pressing national security requirements.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are seeking an ambitious, highly technical Mission Operations Engineer to lead the deployment, system integration, user training, and day-to-day operational success. This is an execution-focused role designed for a highly capable, technically-minded professional ready to take immense ownership of a critical, fast-growing defense account.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Train the Operator: Design and deliver hands-on training to military, security, and tactical operators
