Senior Mission Operations Engineer, Army Intelligence & C2 (Active Clearance)

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Connected Warfare division builds systems to support global command and control missions. We create joint, time-sensitive, multi-domain, ubiquitous, connected mesh ecosystems. Our ecosystem enables connected warfare with disproportional impact by connecting every robot, human, and sensor in every domain, bringing together hundreds of thousands of end points across the globe. We are the substrate that provides the source of truth for time-sensitive decisions, effectively transforming the way that militaries close kill chains and enable mission autonomy.

The Mission Operations (MOPs) team is responsible for managing the execution, growth, and success of our customer accounts. Working across product, engineering, sales, and logistics teams, our Mission Operations Engineers own the customer relationships and develop, plan, and deploy Anduril products in support of their missions. They work side-by-side with customers to understand their specific problem sets and then shape Anduril’s offerings alongside our engineering teams to fit the mission needs. Because the problems we solve are uniquely challenging, our Mission Operations Engineers naturally gravitate toward finding solutions and are adept at navigating organizational hurdles. They are ultimately responsible for customer and mission success and therefore play a critical role in the shaping and future of Anduril Industries.

ABOUT THE JOB

Orchestrate the deployment of Anduril products. Lead the planning, integration, and deployment of Anduril’s flagship software and hardware products in support of Army Intelligence missions. Through collaboration with our engineering, logistics, and technical operations teams, Mission Operators are in charge of deploying our products to customer environments, training end-users, and ensuring the high performance of our systems. We are obsessed with engagement and keeping our finger on the pulse of how customers interact with our systems.

Grow your business through programmatic success. You will be responsible for defining, proposing, and executing programmatic and business strategies that drive technology adoption and scale Anduril's footprint within the Army Intelligence community. This requires establishing committed and trust-based partnerships with PMs and acquisition leaders to not only help them solve their immediate problems, but also to foresee future opportunities where Anduril’s technology can make them more effective.

Shape our products to meet Army Intelligence workflows. Work side-by-side with Army tactical and enterprise intelligence stakeholders to understand their workflows, system bottlenecks, and data integration needs. You will represent these users directly to Anduril's product and engineering teams, translating user feedback into actionable features on our product roadmaps.

Collaborate across nearly every Anduril team. Successfully deploying our complex systems requires collaborating with nearly every internal Anduril team - engineering, product, logistics, business development, contracting, and technical operations. You’ll be responsible for ensuring each party is engaged and informed, bringing the best of Anduril to the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) ecosystem.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Mission First Mindset. We put the needs of the mission and our customers first. We actively seek out opportunities to better understand Army Intelligence workflows, with a goal to build the best possible products for the warfighter and radically evolve national defense capabilities.

Ownership Mentality. We’re looking for owners—those who have a natural bias to assume responsibility and contribute to a culture of performance. You will actively own the technical and programmatic relationships with key PEO IEW&S stakeholders, driving challenging and vague technical integration problems to clarity and resolution.

Technical Aptitude and Intellectual Curiosity. We are first and foremost a technology company. You must be comfortable communicating complex technical concepts, understanding how modern software and hardware systems integrate, and getting hands-on in lab environments to configure and test systems.

Structured Thinker and Problem Solver. Leading technical programs requires clear communication and well thought-out plans. We are looking for assertive communicators who can distill complex Army system-of-systems architectures into digestible integration plans.

High Value Team Member. At Anduril, the path to success weaves through the organization. We are a low-ego group that promotes teamwork and collaboration. You can develop rapport at both the tactical operator level and the executive/acquisition leadership level.

360 Degree Leader. We are a flat, non-hierarchical organization. We expect you to lead and influence people through both formal and informal constructs, identifying operational gaps and solving them immediately rather than stepping back.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Serve as the primary technical and programmatic interface between Anduril Connected Warfare and the Army Intelligence community in the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) area, owning the relationship with the Army’s Capability Program Executive Intelligence and Spectrum Warfare (CPE ISW)
• Develop a deep understanding of Army Intelligence workflows and feed these insights directly into Anduril product roadmaps to ensure our capabilities support and enhance tactical intelligence missions
• Understand connected systems (e.g., NGC2 and other modernized command and control/intelligence nodes) and shape technical integration approaches with the Army Intelligence community
• Design, propose, and execute creative programmatic and business approaches to expand Anduril’s integration and deployment across CPE ISW portfolios
• Provide hands-on, basic operational and technical integration support for Anduril hardware and software capabilities in both customer test beds and company laboratory environments
• Design & implement user feedback loops to gather, triage, and prioritize requirements and integration hurdles discovered during lab testing, exercises, and field evaluations
• Collaborate with Anduril’s software and hardware engineering teams to ensure our systems align with Army open architecture standards and interface guidelines

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Deep domain expertise within the U.S. Army Intelligence community, including familiarity with intelligence systems, workflows, and tactical operations
• Proven experience in technical program management, systems engineering, or technical account management roles within defense technology
• Familiarity with Army connected C2/Intel systems (such as NGC2, TITAN, or AIDP)
• Ability to support basic technical configuration, troubleshooting, and operation of software/hardware systems in lab environments
• Interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, with a demonstrated ability to build trust with technical and non-technical military leaders
• Must be located in, or willing to relocate to, the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD area
• Willingness to travel (25-50%)
• Must possess active SECRET clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Direct experience with the acquisition side of Army Intelligence
• Experience in Defense Technology Product Management, Solutions Architecture, or Technical Customer Success roles
• Familiarity with modern software development concepts (APIs, containerization, tactical cloud, and data fusion pipelines)
