Chief Engineer, Air Defense, Middle East Programs

The posting, as Anduril wrote it

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Air Defense team develops, integrates, and fields autonomous systems that find, track, and defeat threats in the sky while keeping operators in control of engagement decisions. The team brings together Roadrunner, Sentry, Anvil, Pulsar, and Wisp with existing and third-party sensors and effectors through Lattice, creating a software-enabled family of systems for the modern battlespace. As control of the air becomes more contested, these networked capabilities give warfighters the awareness and response options needed to protect forces against rapidly evolving UAS threats.

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril is fielding integrated air defense in the Middle East. As the single named technical authority, you own the architecture and technical performance of Anduril's sensors and effectors, the partner and customer-furnished systems we integrate, the networks that connect them, and the sustainment posture that keeps each site running once it goes live thousands of miles from the nearest Anduril lab.

You will work across direct commercial sales, foreign military sales executed jointly with primes and government program offices, and multi-site rollouts already at initial operating capability. Each carries different engineering consequences: localization requirements that reshape the technical baseline, integration scope that is negotiated rather than specified, and milestones that depend on third-party integrations landing on schedule. They draw on different parts of the same product line, and you maintain the technical picture and keep the answers consistent across them.

You will spend real time forward because Middle East deployments aren't run from a desk, and the technical decisions that matter most are made next to the system with the operators who have to trust it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Technical authority for the region. Serve as Chief Engineer for Air Defense's Middle East programs. Own system architecture, integration strategy, fielding readiness, and sustainment outcomes across every program in the portfolio. Set the technical baseline, chair design reviews, and make the technical decisions that keep schedules aligned with the engineering. Exercise this authority across engineers who don't report to you.
