ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Technical Program Engineer on the Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) Integration team, you will own the delivery and accreditation of capabilities that allow Lattice to operate securely across classification boundaries. Sitting at the nexus of engineering, vendors, and government authorizing officials, you will navigate complex technical and compliance hurdles to deliver secure, real-time data flows to warfighters in the field.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Drive end-to-end delivery. Own the execution roadmap for integrating Lattice across security domains, ensuring solutions are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with operational requirements.
• Bridge engineering, compliance, and customers. Act as the technical connective tissue between software engineering, cybersecurity, compliance teams, third-party technology vendors, and customer stakeholders.

• Manage strategic technology partnerships. Establish, evaluate, and maintain relationships with third-party hardware and software vendors to meet current demands and scale for future growth.
• Architect for simplicity and scale. Champion engineering decisions that reduce operational complexity and lifecycle costs while building scalable architectures that support future multi-enclave capabilities.
• Ensure rigorous export and security compliance. Partner closely with the Anduril trade compliance and export control teams to ensure all solutions strictly adhere to regulatory and export control requirements.
• Drive disciplined engineering standards. Institute and maintain rigorous engineering, validation, and fielding processes so that deployed solutions are resilient, repeatable, and maintainable in real-world operational environments.
