Product Operations Engineering

The Air Defense team builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted the Air Defense team provides mission-critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking identification deterrence and defeat our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of uncrewed aerial system (UAS) threats. The Counter-Intrusion business line works on products that enable operators to protect their people and assets from threats on land and sea. We are deployed in every major global operating theater and support a diversity of mission sets across both U.
Government and allied partners. Sentry is the primary product focus of this role and it is fielded across both business lines. The Sentry platform integrates robotics autonomy hardware and software to deliver mission-critical capabilities in defense and security with a rapidly growing fleet and new variants in development. Product Operations is the team that keeps that fleet healthy once it leaves the factory working across product engineering deployment operations logistics and sustainment to turn what happens in the field into actionable improvements. As a Product Operations Engineer supporting Air Defense and Counter Intrusion you will be the architect behind how we observe maintain and evolve the deployed Sentry fleet. You will develop a deep product understanding serving as a function SME for all things Sentry. You will work with product engineering partners to design deploy and improve a system that supports RCCA cycle execution and delivers actionable product improvement signal directly impacting the design of next generation hardware and software. You will develop and deploy uptime reporting and observability tooling to measure and facilitate capability availability for customers. You will manage and democratize the Sentry knowledge base for field operations functions and support the proliferation of self service resources. You should bring strong technical depth in robotics engineering experience leading iterative design across multiple teams a systems approach to problem solving and a familiarity with reliability and quality methodologies such as FRACAS. If you are passionate about ground-breaking technology contributing to the national security mission and engineering operational excellence from the ground up Anduril is interested in speaking with you. Build and hold deep technical understanding of the Sentry system hardware and software and serve as the product operations SME for Sentry across both business lines helping technical and non-technical stakeholders understand each other. Partner with product engineering to design deploy and continuously improve the system that drives root cause corrective action (RCCA) cycles on fielded Sentry towers from failure capture through corrective action deployment. Product Improvement Signal: Turn fleet failure data field feedback and reliability trends into actionable product improvement signal for engineering directly informing the design of next generation Sentry hardware and software. Reliability and Quality Methodology: Develop and deploy uptime reporting that measures and facilitates capability availability for customers translating raw telemetry into fleet health metrics that program product and leadership stakeholders act on. Observability Tooling: Proactively build and improve the observability tooling behind that reporting in partnership with hardware and software engineering so coverage keeps pace with new Sentry variants and new site deployments. Sentry Knowledge Base: Own democratize and continuously improve the Sentry knowledge base for field operations functions so operational knowledge is codified accurate and usable by any level of on call support. Self Service Enablement: Expand the self service resources runbooks SOPs and troubleshooting guides that field and deployment teams rely on so more is resolved at the point of need and the escalations that do arrive are better characterized. Iterative Design Across Teams: Lead iterative design cycles spanning product operations engineering and deployment functions building agreement on what to change next and carrying it through to implementation. 5 years of experience in product operations technical support site reliability or a comparable technical operations role supporting deployed hardware and software systems with demonstrated progression in scope and ownership ~ Bachelors degree in engineering computer science or another relevant technical field or equivalent hands-on technical experience (military industrial or field support) ~ Technical depth in robotics mechatronics or complex electromechanical systems including the ability to reason across hardware software and networking boundaries ~ Experience leading iterative design or improvement cycles across multiple e
