Product Manager, Air Defense, Vehicles

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. ABOUT THE TEAM The Air Defense team builds robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, the Air Defense team provides mission critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats. Working across product, engineering, business development, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Air Defense team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains the Anduril Air Defense Family of Systems in challenging operational environments worldwide. ABOUT THE JOB Anduril is hiring a Product Manager to own the vehicle-integrated counter-UAS (C-UAS) product line within our Air Defense portfolio. You will be the single-threaded owner for a hardware, software, and platform-integration product that fuses radars, EO/IR sensors, RF/EW payloads, and kinetic and non-kinetic effectors onto tactical ground vehicles, all orchestrated by Lattice. You will define the product vision and roadmap, write PRDs and technical requirements, prioritize the backlog, and drive the product from discovery through qualification, fielding, and sustainment. You will partner daily with hardware engineering, embedded software, systems integration, mission software, manufacturing, supply chain, business development, and operational end users in the field. You will translate warfighter needs and threat evolution into shippable capability and frame the technical and commercial trade-offs that engineering and GTM leaders need to make sound decisions. This is a builder role at the intersection of complex hardware, real-time software, and live-fire operational testing. The right candidate has shipped integrated hardware/software products, is fluent in agile product practices and systems engineering rigor, and is energized by getting in the dirt with users to close the loop between deployed capability and the next release. WHAT YOU'LL DO Own the product: Define the vision, strategy, and multi-quarter roadmap for the vehicle-integrated C-UAS product. Maintain the PRD, write user stories, prioritize the backlog, and own the release plan across hardware, firmware, and software increments. Drive cross-functional execution: Lead a matrixed team of hardware, embedded, mission software, RF, mechanical, and integration engineers from discovery through production. Run the program day-to-day - sprint reviews, design reviews, gate reviews, and hardware/software integration milestones - and unblock the team. Translate user needs into requirements: Embed with operators, run user research and concept-of-employment workshops, and convert mission needs, threat data, and operational constraints into clear functional, performance, environmental (MIL-STD-810/461/464), and interface requirements. Lead platform integration: Drive ICDs and integration plans for sensors, effectors, comms, power, and the host vehicle. Manage trade studies (SWaP-C, kill chain timelines, sensor coverage, effector mix) and partner with systems engineering on architecture decisions. Mission expertise : You will develop a deep understanding of missio
