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 TEAMThe Deployment Engineering team at Anduril is the cornerstone of product longevity and operational readiness. We champion sustainment as a first-class engineering discipline, deeply embedded in our product lifecycle. Our mission is to ensure that every Anduril product remains effective and reliable in the field, empowering our operators and customers with seamless support. We achieve this by partnering across engineering, operations, and external stakeholders, taking collective ownership of robust lifecycle management, comprehensive maintenance planning, technical data integrity, and strategic sparing.WHAT YOU'LL DOArchitect Anduril's ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up - designing integrated, automation-first workflows that collapse what traditionally takes teams of analysts months into repeatable processes that run in hoursDefine and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data (LPD) environment - a unified data model connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, LORA, spares, provisioning, and technical data across programs. This single source of truth produces any contractual deliverable format on demand (GEIA-STD-0007, Power Log-J, MIL-STD-1388, provisioning documentation)Identify where AI and automation can accelerate sustainment analysis cycles, and build those capabilities into the toolchainBuild integrations that propagate BOM changes, ECOs, and design decisions through sustainment artifacts automatically - replacing manual impact assessments with structured, tool-supported analysis tied to the LSA databaseDefine the target-state sustainment toolchain architecture and lead the transition from legacy point-tools to an integrated environment - making build vs. integrate vs. replace decisions for each capabilityDrive feedback loops between field/depot operational data and sustainment planning models, ensuring estimates are continuously refined by reality rather than static assumptionsRepresent sustainment data architecture in enterprise PLM/ERP governance and cross-functional digital infrastructure decisionsREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS7+ years in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or ILS roles within defense or aerospaceDeep practitioner experience in Logistics Support Analysis - has personally built FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data (not just oversight or review)Demonstrated ability to structure and manage Logistics Product Data in accordance with the S-Series ILS framework (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007, using standard logistics information systems (PowerLog-J, COMPASS, SLICwave, EAGLE, or equivalents)Python or scripting proficiency - able to build data connectors, extend automation, and prototype integrationsSystems-level thinking in data models and architecture - can define how information flows between tools and organizations, not just how to use individual applicationsExperience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred) and understanding of how sustainment data integrates with ERP and configuration managementEligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearanceAbility totravel for on-site support, stakeholder engagement, and tool deploymentPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONSDemonstrated interest in applying AI/automation to engineering workflows - has experimented with, prototyped, or deployed AI-assisted analysis toolsExperience with DoD 5000 series acquisition, CDRL management, and contractual deliverable complianceSystems-level thinking in data models and architecture - can define how information flows between tools and organizations, not just how to use individual applicationsFamiliarity with S1000D technical publication standards and IETM authoring tools (RapidAuthor or equivalent)Understanding of Readiness-Based Sparing, supply chain data modeling, or provisioning workflowsPrior experience at a defense prime frustrated by the pace of digital transformation - and a vision for how to do it differentlyStrong communication skills bridging technical sustainment language, software/data architecture concepts, and program management needsProven ability to drive change against established legacy approaches in fast-paced environmentsBachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace) or Computer Science/Information SystemsUS Salary Range$140,000—$193,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
