About the Job

Requirements

  • At least five years of experience in product support, sustainment engineering, or systems engineering roles within a high-rigor environment such as defense, aerospace, advanced robotics, or complex industrial systems.
  • Detailed and extensive technical expertise applying mechanical or systems engineering principles to complex hardware systems.
  • Hands-on proficiency with professional computer-aided design (CAD) software and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools for managing engineering data, changes, and configurations.
  • Foundational understanding and practical application of Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements, principles, and concepts, including maintenance planning, supply support, technical data management, support equipment, training, and facilities.
  • Familiarity with military standards, specifications, and regulatory compliance relevant to product support and sustainment activities.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Ability to travel for on-site support, field deployments, and direct customer engagements as required.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain comprehensive, ground-up sustainment plans for the specific products supported.
  • Partner with customers, operations teams, and cross-functional engineering teams to define, implement, and continuously improve maintenance and repair strategies.
  • Ensure up-to-date maintenance procedures, specialized tools, and accurate technical manuals are available to support field sustainment operations.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for sustainment-related matters within the assigned product team, proactively identifying and resolving issues.
  • Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineering teams during new product development to integrate sustainment practices and design-for-supportability concepts early in the process.
  • Create and maintain a Service Bill of Materials (SBOM) and other sustainment artifacts, such as provisioning lists and support equipment lists, as a central, up-to-date repository for sustainment data.

Desired Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or a related field).
  • Direct experience with sustainment methodologies such as Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), or developing Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) plans.
  • Experience developing and delivering customer-facing sustainment artifacts and contractual deliverables.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise tools such as Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), JIRA, or Oracle (ERP), or equivalent systems.
  • Direct experience with complex military systems, robotics, unmanned systems, or advanced defense technology products.
  • Understanding of the Technical Data Package, including drawings, parts lists, interface control documents, and electrical schematics.
  • Ability to work effectively in dynamic, unstructured environments, adapt to changing priorities, and quickly learn new technologies and complex systems.
  • Written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex technical and quantitative data into clear decision statements and actionable recommendations for engineers, operators, and customers.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
