Job description
Software Product ManagerCosta Mesa, California, United StatesAnduril 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 real-time, 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.About The RoleWe are looking for a Software Product Manager to own what ships to the operator. EW Mission Applications builds the software between the device and the operator — operator applications, Lattice integrations, shared visualization components, and the internal tooling that the rest of the business line runs on. You will own the roadmap for that surface: which capabilities reach operators, through which channel, and in what order.EW Mission Applications delivers through multiple channels: each channel has different users, different timelines, and a different definition of done. Teams are organized by product surface rather than by program, so every engineering team supports several programs at once. Every program in the business line wants something from those teams. You decide what gets built, you write down why, and you hold that line when program pressure arrives — which it will, constantly, and for good reasons.This role is product-focused and technically grounded. You won't write production code day to day, but you need to understand the device SDK boundary, the client architecture, and the integration surface well enough to tell a real blocker from a preference, to write requirements engineering can build against, and to negotiate scope with embedded engineering on the merits.What You'll DoOwn the EW Mission Applications product roadmap: what is committed, what is queued, what we declined and why — published and current enough that program management and engineering leads both plan against itRun a single intake path for product requirements from programs, customers, partners, and internal teams, and give every request a scoped, sized answer: accept, defer, or decline, with a reasonDefine operator capabilities before design and engineering start — the problem, the workflow, and the acceptance criteria that QA builds integration coverage againstDeconflict competing program demands on shared engineering teams using a written, defensible prioritization frameworkRepresent EW Mission Applications in the recurring device API review: bring the integration needs, justify the priority, agree the build order with embedded engineering, and track requests through to deliveryPartner with UI design on operator workflows and with QA on test coverage, owning the requirement behind bothTurn recurring field issues from our mission software engineering team into roadmap items and test coverage on a standing cadenceTrack delivery commitments against actuals and publish the results, so our estimates improve and our release commitments earn credibilityBrief delivery status, roadmap changes, and risk to stakeholders at every level — engineers, program leadership, and customers — without flattening technical nuance into a status colorTravel up to 25% to support integration events, deployments, field visits, and customer engagementsRequired Qualifications5+ years in software product management, technical product ownership, or a closely related roleDirect ownership of a product roadmap, including the authority and the track record to decline workDemonstrated ability to write requirements and acceptance criteria that engineering and test executed againstStrong written and verbal communication skills — you'll be writing the roadmap, running prioritization calls, and briefing leadershipExperience owning a software product surface that depended on hardware or firmware built by a team you did not controlExperience deconflicting priorities across concurrent customers or programs competing for the same engineering capacityAbility to read and navigate codebases and API surfaces: you don't need to write production code, but you need to understand what is changing and what it costsComfortable operating with incomplete information and requirements that moveEligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearanceWillingness to travel up to 25%Preferred QualificationsExperience with operator-facing or mission-critical software where the end user is not the buyerMulti-channel product experience: one capability delivered through several front ends, client applications, or partner platformsFamiliarity with the DoD software ecosystem — CDRL cycles, ATO processes, and program-of-record cadencePrior experience in defense technology, electronic warfare, command and control, ISR, or RF systemsExperience with geospatial or real-time visualization softwareExperience defining products against a hardware roadmap and an SDK or device API boundaryExperience with edge deployments where systems operate disconnected or in degraded network environmentsExperience scaling product processes during a rapid production rampUS Salary Range$166,000 - $220,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
