About the role
- These are complex, multi-disciplinary integration efforts involving RF hardware, embedded software, firmware, flight qualification, airframe interfaces, and demanding government customers.
- Airborne EW programs move fast but carry high technical risk.
- You'll need to understand enough about the technology to have credible conversations with engineers and customers - and enough about program execution to keep complex efforts on track.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end execution of airborne EW programs - scope, schedule, budget, risk, customer relationships, and delivery
- Manage programs involving hardware/software integration onto airborne platforms with all associated qualification and certification requirements
- Coordinate across RF engineering, embedded software, FPGA/DSP, systems engineering, flight test, and production teams to deliver on commitments
- Manage contract financials - EACs, burn rate, margin, invoicing, and revenue recognition
- Drive requirements definition and management in partnership with systems engineering - translate customer needs into executable scope
- Manage subcontractor and vendor relationships as needed for platform-specific integration
- Support capture and proposal efforts for airborne EW growth opportunities (BOEs, schedules, technical volumes)
- Via Agency Partner: If contacted by a recruiting agency for an Anduril role, their email will clearly identify their agency.
- By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.
- You'll own the execution of programs that put EW capability on aircraft - manned and unmanned.
Requirements
- Direct experience with airborne systems: flight qualification, platform integration, DO-178/DO-254, airworthiness, or flight test coordination
Nice to have
- Background in electronic warfare, SIGINT, airborne ISR, or aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) programs
- Direct experience with aircraft integration (wiring, connectors, SWaP constraints, vibration/thermal environments)
- Relationships with relevant DoD program offices (PMA-272, PMA-234, SOCOM, platform SPOs)
- Experience managing programs with DCMA oversight, earned value requirements, or CPIF/CPFF contract structures
- Track record of managing programs with combined hardware, software, and firmware deliverables in a defense or aerospace environment
- Experience as the primary interface with DoD program offices or platform integrators (prime or sub)
- Comfort operating in technically complex environments - you can follow an engineering discussion about RF, embedded systems, or signal processing without needing everything translated
- Experience working directly with software and hardware engineering teams - not through layers of intermediaries
