About The Position

Anduril's Device and Releases team drives critical aspects of Anduril's embedded system infrastructure lifecycle—the operational backbone of our defense technology.

Exceptional organizational rigor paired with analytical horsepower—you thrive managing parallel initiatives while maintaining clarity on dependencies and critical paths
Outstanding communication skills across the spectrum—equally comfortable explaining technical trade-offs to engineers and strategic implications to executives
Based in Costa Mesa, CA or willing to relocate.
