Senior Technical Program Manager

<div class="content-intro"><p>Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.</p></div><p class="p1"><strong>ABOUT THE TEAM</strong></p>
<p class="p2">Anduril is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, delivering an ultra-long-range,&nbsp;full-ocean-depth platform alongside a manufacturing architecture that scales from large to extra-large vehicle&nbsp;sizes. The Dive-XL programme is designed, built and tested in Australia and is executing against live contracts.&nbsp;The XL Vehicle System team owns the vehicle end to end – systems, software, mechanical, electrical, and&nbsp;integration and test.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>ABOUT THE JOB</strong></p>
<p class="p2">You will own programme execution across the XL vehicle system as it moves from development into&nbsp;production, reporting to the Director of Platforms. The role requires both programme management rigour and&nbsp;genuine technical depth: you will be expected to engage substantively on system architecture, interfaces and&nbsp;verification approach alongside the engineering discipline leads.</p>
