Technical Program Manager, Seabed Survey

Anduril • Quincy, MA

21d • Onsite

About The Position

The Maritime Services Team is responsible for collecting seabed survey and exploration data for commercial and government customers worldwide. Today, we are simultaneously delivering services and capability, while helping invent advanced large-scale autonomous solutions for tomorrow. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to join our rapidly growing team in Quincy, MA. Make no mistake — this is a diverse role that requires an agile manager comfortable with operating in a chaotic environment, not just a schedule-and-Gantt PM. In this role, you will be responsible for planning and execution of survey projects, informing the design of survey plans, driving development and test plans for new capabilities, and supporting business development activities as both external advocate and internal "voice of the customer". This requires someone with a robust set of of offshore experiences, precise project management and contracting knowhow, outstanding communication skills, and the ability to work in a high velocity environment. If you want to merge the most advanced hardware and software imaginable to rewrite the book on seabed exploration, then this role is for you. We don't do bureaucracy here - if you'd rather write a status report than solve the problem in front of you, this isn't your team.
