Senior Product Manager, Ground Control Systems (Hardware + Software Platform)

Anduril • Costa Mesa, CA

30d

About The Position

The Connected Warfare division builds the software-defined, hardware-enabled systems that command and control capability at the tactical edge. Our Ground Control Station (GCS) product line is the literal hands-on portal through which the warfighter interacts with Anduril's technology—the unified hardware and software interface for commanding systems where decisions carry the highest stakes. We are driven by a "Whatever It Takes" mindset, innovating in a directed, expedient, scalable, and methodical way while keeping the mission top-of-mind. Your work will directly determine how quickly and safely operators can make decisions in high-stakes environments, and will establish GCS as the premier common platform that teams across Anduril can leverage and integrate into their own product ecosystems. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the advancement of the GCS product line, transitioning it from a set of customized, mission-specific configurations into a highly scalable, common platform. This role exists because GCS sits at the center of how our customers—and our own business lines—interact with Anduril systems. You will own the strategy, roadmap, and productization efforts required to standardize GCS into a cohesive, polished platform that Connected Warfare and other Anduril divisions can easily build on and integrate. You will be the customer advocate, the cross-divisional connective tissue, and the driving force ensuring GCS becomes the default interface for commanding systems at the tactical edge.
