Deployment Lead at Anduril Industries · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Deployment planning and execution: We execute hundreds of deployment events each year, including site installations, test and evaluation exercises, demonstrations, and training and maintenance visits. You will orchestrate these events, leading a cross-functional team that spans hardware supply, logistics, engineering, and more to do whatever it takes to achieve mission success for Anduril and our customers. Meticulous, resourceful, and detail-oriented, you will manage every step of the deployment process, from site survey to testing, pack-out, installation, and sustainment. No job is too small. You consistently demonstrate extraordinary judgment, grit, and composure in high-pressure situations. You anticipate every contingency, build lightweight processes, soberly assess and mitigate risk, and deliberately learn from your experiences to continuously improve.
Training support and delivery: Partner with the Training Lead on customer training events, serving as the deployment and product SME during individual and collective training. Reinforce proficiency during site visits and routine sustainment activities, capture training gaps surfaced in the field, and feed those back into the training program so curricula and materials stay current with how the system is actually being used. Your firsthand knowledge of each deployed site's configuration, constraints, and user base makes training more operationally relevant.
Relationship management: Build trust with customers, industry partners, users, and Anduril teammates through effective communication, positive attitude, and follow-through. With careful listening and observation, you internalize your counterpart's priorities and requirements. With empathy and responsiveness, you quickly build rapport, trust, and confidence in our capability. You develop relationships across the organization and communicate honestly and directly. You are committed to giving and receiving feedback well. Your partners always know what you expect from them, and know exactly what to expect from you.
Mission expertise: Develop a deep knowledge of your customer's mission requirements, including the nature of the threats they face, regulatory challenges, resource constraints, rules of engagement, and more. You will become a subject matter expert and the voice of the customer, capable of effectively communicating requirements and CONOPS to Anduril engineers so they can continue to enhance our capability to meet evolving mission needs. You serve as the counter unmanned systems (cUAS) subject matter expert for your customers, helping them resource realistic exercises and manage all hardware and software configurations for cUAS-peculiar equipment. You are deeply motivated to shape the future of air defense.
Product expertise: Develop a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Anduril's Family of Systems. You are innately curious about the technology underpinning our capability, and are not satisfied with a superficial understanding of how and why it works. You are constantly educating yourself about the strengths and weaknesses of different sensor modalities, the challenges of sensor fusion, power and networking requirements, and more. You will become an opinionated power user who can reliably forecast how our capability will perform against a broad range of threat profiles, environmental conditions, and mission constraints.
Hardware and software configuration management: Manage the end-to-end hardware and software configurations for all assigned equipment at your deployment sites. You ensure systems are properly configured, updated, and maintained to deliver peak performance.
