Anduril's Maritime Division is transforming American sea power to meet the defining national security challenges of our era and secure our future of maritime dominance.

We are scaling at an historic pace, anchored by Arsenal-2, our new software-defined shipyard being built in Baltimore County, Maryland. It's part of a new $6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base.

Arsenal-2 is purpose-built to break long-standing industrial bottlenecks and scale production of critical components for the Navy's Virginia-class attack submarines to support fleet requirements. At the same time, it will build the industrial muscle to field our next-generation AUVs at scale.

We aren't waiting for the new shipyard to be completed. The work on this transformation starts right now, with development inside our new 160,000 square foot Proto-Factory in Orange County, California, where the team is already laying the foundation. As the prototyping hub for Arsenal-2, this facility gives us a multi-year head start, proving out the advanced manufacturing methods, digital workflows, and quality systems that will scale across our broader shipyard network.

In Anduril's Maritime Division, we are actively building America's next decisive advantage at sea—and this is the moment to join us.

ABOUT THE JOB

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. This is an impactful role where you will take ownership of defining critical maintenance plans, shaping technical data packages, optimizing sparing, and ensuring seamless lifecycle management. Your expertise will be vital in translating engineering innovation into reliable, supportable systems for our warfighters, directly enabling Anduril’s mission to transform defense technology. You will own product support analysis and sustainment cost for a fleet of maritime autonomous vehicles. Reporting to the Support System Lead, you will build the life cycle cost model, run the analysis that determines how the fleet gets supported, and turn reliability and maintenance data into the provisioning, manning, and cost picture the program and the customer need. Sustainment is where the majority of a platform's lifetime cost lands, and this role owns understanding it before those costs are locked in by design decisions.

Your spectrum of support will be diverse in nature and require you to leverage your technical expertise as well as leadership skills to set objectives, build cross-functional teams, and rapidly drive to completion. The ability to leverage your intuition and prior experience will be key in making sure the right design, analysis, and test steps are completed to ensure success. The ideal candidate will leverage their experience executing and successfully completing prior highly optimized multi-disciplinary projects.

• 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.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 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.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Hands-on proficiency with professional CAD software and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools for managing engineering data, changes, and configurations
• Proven track record of developing and delivering key customer-facing sustainment artifacts and contractual deliverables
• Prior hands-on experience with specific enterprise tools such as Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), JIRA, or Oracle (ERP) or equivalent systems
• Direct experience with complex military systems, robotics, unmanned systems, or advanced defense technology products
• Understanding of the use of the Technical Data Package (drawings, parts lists, interface control documents, and electrical schematics)
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Willingness and ability to travel for on-site support, field deployments, and direct customer engagements as required
• Experience with DoD product support analysis or Integrated Product Support elements.
• Familiarity with LORA, provisioning analysis, and sparing optimization.
• Background in naval or maritime sustainment cost.
• Experience with performance-based logistics or sustainment contracting models.
• Proficiency with cost modeling tools or scripting for analysis automation.
