Job Description

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Define and drive the long-term strategy and roadmap for XL-AUV sustainment, aligned with program delivery milestones.
  • Architect a support model for autonomous undersea fleets that is data-driven and articulate it to engineers, executives, and the Commonwealth.
  • Own the ILS deliverables across the product line: R&M targets, FMECA, RCM, sparing, support and test equipment, technical publications, training, and facilities.
  • Drive supportability into the design through close partnership with engineering: early, often, and with data.
  • Stand up and run the support depot and turnaround operation that recovers, services, and re-deploys vehicles between sorties.
  • Own vehicle health analytics, parts flow, configuration management, and end-to-end fleet readiness.
  • Be the senior Anduril engineering voice to RAN and NSSG on all matters of in-service support.
  • Shape the support contract construct within the ASDEFCON environment, partnering with Contracts and Programs to negotiate outcomes-based agreements.
  • Hire, develop, and grow a multidisciplinary team of sustainment engineers, ILS specialists, depot operators, fleet analysts, and customer-facing program managers.
  • Partner across Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Programs, Contracts, and T&E to ensure support is built in from the outset, not bolted on at the end.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in defence engineering and sustainment, with a track record of delivering capability and outcomes.
  • Demonstrated experience designing or operating support systems for complex, hardware-intensive, software-enabled defence platforms.
  • Working fluency with the ASDEFCON environment, with the ability to read an SOW and instinctively know where it will fail.
  • Strong commercial acumen. Comfortable shaping a support agreement, modelling a sustainment business case, and explaining cost-of-ownership to an executive sponsor.
  • Proven ability to speak Commonwealth and move at Anduril pace.
  • Experience building or scaling a function from a small team, not just operating a mature one.
  • Strong bias for action and extremely high ownership in a fast-paced environment.
