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 THE JOBAs a TPM, you will be responsible for ensuring mission success by owning the development and integration of various Anduril products and technologies with Anduril employees. These projects will be diverse in nature and require you to be organized and flexible to adapt to changing situations. On one project, you may be working with finance and business partners to construct a budget forecast, including the plan, scope and work required. In another situation, you may be acting as a technical implementation project manager, fielding requirements, and leading a team to transform those requirements into tangible delivery. During all this, you must be able to collaborate with both external and internal partners, communicate plans clearly to all parties, and lead teams towards success.Success in this position also hinges on systems, construction, and implementation experience and the ability to learn technical concepts- mainly software related- quickly. Building metric based forecasts, plans, staff reports, and analytics reporting will help bring data to the IT team quickly for rapid decision making and analysis.This position will require temporary initial training at our HQ in Costa Mesa, CA.WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Ownership: TPMs are owners; we're looking for those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility, a healthy dose of skepticism, and contribute to a culture of performance. Lead the project from start to finish with the employee and the IT team. Develop the technical path for success, identify IT needs, and validate the projected product outcome with the employee. TPMs are empowered to quickly assume high levels of responsibility and entrust them to actively own their account and shape its success.
  • Embed/Engage: Work side-by-side with our employees to understand their specific mission challenges and represent the employee as you work with Anduril IT to shape products that solve critical national and international security challenges.

  • Build/Orchestrate: Work with Anduril IT to build the solution and/or pivot development as needed to meet business needs. Successfully developing our complex hardware and software products requires collaborating with nearly every internal Anduril team - IT, product, logistics, finance, legal, contracting, technical operations, and many more. You'll be responsible for ensuring each party is engaged and informed, and will therefore become well-versed in what it takes to really bring the best of Anduril to our employees.
  • Plan: Build, deploy, and maintain OT/IT infrastructure, while partnering with infrastructure and deployment vendors. Work with clients and IT to build sprint plans, execution plans, milestones.
  • Grow our business through employee success: In addition to the operational and executive relationships you own, you will be responsible for meeting commercial targets that drive top line growth. This requires establishing committed and trust-based partnerships with our employees to not only help them solve their immediate problems, but also to foresee future opportunities where Anduril's technology can make them more effective. Understanding Anduril's value proposition and articulating how we can have an impact on a employee's problem set, from the executive level to the end user, is critical to positioning Anduril for the future.
