Anduril • Quincy, MA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

Anduril Industries is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead international deployment execution for a maritime undersea domain awareness program. This role is a blend of engineering, program management, and customer delivery, where you will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of international demonstrations and system deployments, from initial planning through on-site execution. You will serve as the central point of contact between product teams, engineering, operations, business development, and international customers. This is a hands-on role requiring deep involvement in the details and direct customer interaction to ensure successful delivery. The ideal candidate is motivated by complex challenges, builds customer trust through expertise and reliability, and excels at bringing order to chaotic situations.

Requirements

• 5+ years of technical program management experience, preferably in defense, maritime, or aerospace
• Demonstrated ability to manage international customer engagements and deployments in high-stakes environments
• Strong technical foundation — able to go deep on systems architecture, integration challenges, and hardware/software trade-offs without relying on engineering to translate for you
• Experience building and presenting technical briefings to senior military and government stakeholders
• Track record of managing complex, multi-team schedules with interdependent milestones and hard deadlines
• Proficiency in Jira for program scheduling, sprint management, and milestone tracking — you treat the tool as a real-time reflection of program health, not an administrative chore
• Exceptional organizational skills — you are the person who tracks every action item, every dependency, every open risk, and doesn't let things fall through
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and high-pressure situations where the plan is changing and decisions have real consequences
• Experience with export control processes (ITAR/EAR) and international logistics
• Familiarity with DoD acquisition processes, contract structures (FFP, T&M, CPFF), and milestone-based deliverables
• Ability to travel internationally up to 25%-40%, including extended deployments for demonstrations
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Nice To Haves

• Experience in undersea warfare, autonomous systems, or maritime ISR programs
• Background in systems engineering or test & evaluation
• Experience working with Indo-Pacific partner nations
• Experience with Confluence for documentation and product baseline management
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Responsibilities

• Own planning, scheduling, and execution of international system deployments and demonstrations for undersea domain awareness capabilities
• Build and maintain program schedules in Jira, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and critical path items are current and visible to all stakeholders
• Develop and maintain milestone trackers, risk registers, and action item burndowns across multiple concurrent workstreams
• Drive technical alignment across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure deployment-ready configurations meet customer requirements
• Prepare and deliver technical briefings and program status reviews to international customers, senior leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders
• Coordinate logistics for international hardware shipments including export compliance, temporary import/permanent export documentation, and customs coordination
• Identify and manage risks and dependencies across engineering, supply chain, compliance, and operations — escalate early and with proposed mitigations
• Translate customer requirements into actionable engineering tasking and ensure product teams understand the operational context behind what they're building
• Keep Jira updated as the single source of truth for schedule status — ensure sprint planning, epic tracking, and program milestones reflect reality, not aspirations
• Drive alignment across stakeholders who don't always agree — get decisions made, documented, and executed
• Support contract amendment processes, milestone payment tracking, and deliverable acceptance with the customer
• Document product baselines, configuration states, and deployment readiness criteria in Confluence
• Operate as the single point of accountability for deployment readiness — if something isn't tracking, you own the recovery plan

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
