<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><h2>ABOUT THE JOB</h2>
<p>Anduril is seeking a Director, XL-AUV Support Systems to architect, stand up, and lead the support enterprise for the Dive-XL fleet. You will own the end-to-end support construct: global sustainment engineering, in-service support operations, and the customer-facing sustainment program.<br><br>The sustainment of an autonomous undersea fleet is not the sustainment of a crewed grey-hull. There is no ship's company at sea, no decade-long PBL written against a stable baseline, and no resident maintainers. Vehicles are software-defined, telemetered, and measured in mission cycles, not steaming days. We are looking for an engineering leader who sees that clearly and can architect something better, not retrofit a legacy model.<br><br>You will be an engineer with genuine commercial acumen. Technically credible enough to pressure-test our reliability and supportability decisions, and commercially fluent enough to shape outcomes-based agreements with the Customer. You will speak the language of the Customer but move at Anduril's pace.</p>
<h2>WHAT YOU'LL DO</h2>
<ul>
<li>Define and drive the long-term strategy and roadmap for XL-AUV sustainment, aligned with program delivery milestones.</li>
<li>Architect a support model for autonomous undersea fleets that is data-driven and articulate it to engineers, executives, and the Commonwealth.</li>
<li>Own the ILS deliverables across the product line: R&M targets, FMECA, RCM, sparing, support and test equipment, technical publications, training, and facilities.</li>
<li>Drive supportability into the design through close partnership with engineering: early, often, and with data.</li>
<li>Stand up and run the support depot and turnaround operation that recovers, services, and re-deploys vehicles between sorties.</li>
<li>Own vehicle health analytics, parts flow, configuration management, and end-to-end fleet readiness.</li>
<li>Be the senior Anduril engineering voice to RAN and NSSG on all matters of in-service support.</li>
<li>Shape the support contract construct within the ASDEFCON environment, partnering with Contracts and Programs to negotiate outcomes-based agreements.</li>
<li>Hire, develop, and grow a multidisciplinary team of sustainment engineers, ILS specialists, depot operators, fleet analysts, and customer-facing program managers.</li>
<li>Partner across Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Programs, Contracts, and T&E to ensure support is built in from the outset, not bolted on at the end.</li>
</ul>
<h2>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS</h2>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.</li>
<li>10+ years of progressive experience in defence engineering and sustainment, with a track record of delivering capability and outcomes.</li>
<li>Demonstrated experience designing or operating support systems for complex, hardware-intensive, software-enabled defence platforms.</li>
<li>Working fluency with the ASDEFCON environment, with the ability to read an SOW and instinctively know where it will fail.</li>
<li>Strong commercial acumen. Comfortable shaping a support agreement, modelling a sustainment business case, and explaining cost-of-ownership to an executive sponsor.</li>
<li>Proven ability to speak Commonwealth and move at Anduril pace.</li>
<li>Experience building or scaling a function from a small team, not just operating a mature one.</li>
<li>Strong bias for action and extremely high ownership in a fast-paced environment.</li>
<li>Resident in Australia.</li>
<li>Australian citizen, eligible to obtain and maintain an NV2 security clearance.</li>
</ul>
<h2>PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS</h2>
<ul>
<li>Direct experience with the sustainment of unmanned or autonomous systems (subsea, surface, air, or land).</li>
<li>Background as a Royal Australian Navy or allied engineering officer (MEO / WEEO / submarine engineering).</li>
<li>Prior leadership of an in-service support function at a defence prime, with exposure to performance-based or outcomes-based contracting.</li>
<li>Subsea oil & gas asset integrity, reliability, or remote-operations experience.</li>
<li>Aviation fleet sustainment background.</li>
<li>Familiarity with predictive maintenance, fleet health analytics, and digital sustainment tooling.</li>
