Senior Sustainment Systems Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Deployment Engineering team at Anduril is the cornerstone of product longevity and operational readiness. The team's mission is to ensure that every Anduril product remains effective and reliable in the field, empowering operators and customers with seamless support.

Responsibilities

• Architect Anduril's ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up, designing integrated, automation-first workflows that collapse what traditionally takes teams of analysts months into repeatable processes that run in hours.
• Define and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data (LPD) environment, a unified data model connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, LORA, spares, provisioning, and technical data across programs.
• Identify where AI and automation can accelerate sustainment analysis cycles, and build those capabilities into the toolchain.
• Build integrations that propagate BOM changes, ECOs, and design decisions through sustainment artifacts automatically, replacing manual impact assessments with structured, tool-supported analysis tied to the LSA database.
• Define the target-state sustainment toolchain architecture and lead the transition from legacy point-tools to an integrated environment.
• Drive feedback loops between field/depot operational data and sustainment planning models, ensuring estimates are continuously refined by reality rather than static assumptions.
• Represent sustainment data architecture in enterprise PLM/ERP governance and cross-functional digital infrastructure decisions.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or ILS roles within defense or aerospace.
• Deep practitioner experience in Logistics Support Analysis, with hands-on experience building FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data.
• Demonstrated ability to structure and manage Logistics Product Data in accordance with the S-Series ILS framework (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007.
• Python or scripting proficiency, with the ability to build data connectors, extend automation, and prototype integrations.
• Systems-level thinking in data models and architecture, with the ability to define how information flows between tools and organizations.
• Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred) and understanding of how sustainment data integrates with ERP and configuration management.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Ability to travel for on-site support, stakeholder engagement, and tool deployment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated interest in applying AI/automation to engineering workflows.
• Experience with DoD 5000 series acquisition, CDRL management, and contractual deliverable compliance.
• Familiarity with S1000D technical publication standards and IETM authoring tools (RapidAuthor or equivalent).
• Understanding of Readiness-Based Sparing, supply chain data modeling, or provisioning workflows.
• Prior experience at a defense prime frustrated by the pace of digital transformation.
• Strong communication skills bridging technical sustainment language, software/data architecture concepts, and program management needs.
• Proven ability to drive change against established legacy approaches in fast-paced environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace) or Computer Science/Information Systems.
