## Description

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

As a Product Support Engineer at Anduril, you will be a critical individual contributor within our rapidly growing Maritime team.

You will drive the development and implementation of comprehensive sustainment strategies for cutting-edge defense products, directly contributing to their operational readiness and longevity.

Responsibilities:

- Develop and maintain comprehensive, ground-up sustainment plans for the specific product(s) you support

- Partner with customers, operations teams, and cross-functional engineering teams to define, implement, and continuously improve effective maintenance and repair strategies

- Ensure the availability of up-to-date maintenance procedures, specialized tools, and accurate technical manuals to support field sustainment operations

- Serve as the primary point of contact for all sustainment-related matters within your product team, proactively identifying and resolving issues

- Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineering teams during new product development phases to integrate best sustainment practices and design-for-supportability concepts early in the process

- Create and maintain a Service Bill of Materials (SBOM) and other critical sustainment artifacts (e.g., provisioning lists, support equipment lists), ensuring they establish a central, up-to-date repository for all sustainment data

- Supply the support terms of the operational availability basis, meaning logistics delay and preventive maintenance time, alongside the reliability lead who owns the reliability allocations.

- Build and maintain the life cycle cost estimate and the operating and support cost model, with sensitivity analysis and affordability reporting, and publish the estimate at program gates.

- Build and own the life cycle cost model for the vehicle fleet and its support system.

- Perform product support analysis covering provisioning, manning, facilities, and support equipment.

- Produce operating and support (O&S) cost estimates and keep them current as the design matures.

- Run cost trade studies on sustainment approaches and feed results into design decisions.

- Develop spares and provisioning plans in partnership with RAM and Maintenance.

- Define the product support strategy and supporting elements of the logistics architecture.

- Produce cost and supportability analysis for customer deliverables and program reviews.

- Establish the data pipeline that converts reliability and maintenance data into cost projections.

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Logistics, Economics, Finance, or equivalent.

- 5+ years of experience in product support, sustainment engineering, or systems engineering roles within a high-rigor environment (e.g., defense, aerospace, advanced robotics, complex industrial systems)

- Demonstrated detailed and extensive technical expertise in applying mechanical or systems engineering principles to complex hardware systems

- Experience building or maintaining a life cycle cost or operating and support (O&S) cost model and presenting its results to a program or customer audience.

- Direct experience with sustainment methodologies such as Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), or developing Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) plans.

- Foundational understanding and practical application of Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements, principles, and concepts (e.g., maintenance planning, supply support, technical data management, support equipment, training, facilities)

- Familiarity with military standards, specifications, and regulatory compliance relevant to product support and sustainment activities

- Proven ability to work effectively in dynamic, unstructured environments, adapt to rapidly changing priorities, and quickly learn and master new technologies and complex systems

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to synthesize complex technical and quantitative data into clear, concise decision statements and actionable recommendations for diverse audiences (engineers, operators, customers)

- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.

Benefits:

- Highly competitive equity grants

- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees)
