Anduril
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.
The Maritime Division is developing unmanned systems for subsurface and other domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance, multi-mission capability to our customers. Our division is truly global, with teams and contracts spanning across Australia, the US, and the UK.
As our team continues to quickly grow, we are looking for motivated candidates that are inspired to work within an extremely energetic, creative, and innovative team that is passionate about the maritime domain. We work in a highly dynamic environment where collaboration and idea sharing are a way of life.
We are seeking an individual to support the Maritime Australia team as Chief of Staff. This role is perfect for a versatile, analytical, big-picture thinker who thrives on connecting the dots between manufacturing, engineering, people operations, business development, and a myriad of other operational aspects to achieve global excellence. The ability to build trust quickly in a fast-paced environment and execute with high dependability is critical to success in this role.
This position will be part of the global Division Operations team within Maritime.
