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.

The Anduril Imaging team develops state-of-the-art imaging systems, deployed to tackle the most significant security challenges of America and its allies. We are seeking a Program Manager to plan, organize, direct, and lead external program and deployment activities involving WISP products.

The WISP product is a long-wave infrared motion imaging sensor system that uses AI to detect and track threats and objects of interest. This role will lead day-to-day execution of program initiatives and tasks - it will involve working with other Business Line Mission Operations Leads, the customer, internal staff and business line leadership to satisfy the technical and operational objectives meeting all of the contractual requirements.

• 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.

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.
