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. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced individual to join our Test and Evaluation (T&E) Safety and Standards team supporting Anduril's maritime portfolio. This role will based out of Quincy, Massachusetts, but will support maritime test operations at all sites. In this role, you will collaborate closely with T&E leadership and various business lines to establish and oversee team training, safety, and standard practices both on-site and across multiple test venues — waterfront facilities, in-water test ranges, and at-sea operations supporting unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and the high-energy battery systems that power them in the ocean. A key responsibility will be ensuring compliance with applicable U.S. Navy, NAVSEA, U.S. Coast Guard, and DCMA contract requirements. Additionally, you will manage safety trends and conduct predictive analysis to enhance operational safety. Join our dynamic team and contribute to building a robust Maritime T&E program that positions us as the industry leader in unmanned surface and subsurface vehicle products and operations. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for the contract and operational safety regimes governing maritime test, including applicable U.S. Navy/NAVSEA technical authority instructions, OPNAVINST 5100-series, USCG navigation and operational rules, and DCMA contract safety requirements. Monitor, interpret, and implement changes to Surface, Subsurface, Waterfront, and Battery Handling Operations Procedures. Ensure timely communications to all stakeholders, internal and external. Lead internal readiness reviews and Navy, NAVSEA, and DCMA audits and inspections. Develop, implement, and manage a Safety Management System (SMS) and operational standards program tailored to maritime unmanned systems and energetic battery operations. Maintain safety policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and checklists to ensure compliance with federal, DoD, U.S. Navy, USCG, and company requirements. Establish and maintain a standardized approach to creating, updating, and publishing written procedures, checklists, manuals, and other documents required for the execution of test-related and at-sea activities — including dockside, underway, and submerged operations. Serve as liaison to the U.S. Coast Guard, harbormasters, port authorities, and local maritime test ranges as needed. Serve as the senior Maritime Safety Officer for Anduril's Maritime waterfront and at-sea test operations. Lead or assist with Safety Councils to proliferate updated requirements, review lessons learned, and share ideas for the continuous improvement of test operations. Be prepared to conduct safety investigations into waterfront, surface, subsurface, and battery-related test incidents and report findings to Anduril leadership as required. Review all incidents, track derivative issues, and ensure closure of all issues with subsequent out briefings that connect root cause analysis to root cause corrective actions. Maintain the Mishap Response Plan (MRP) for waterfront, surface, subsurface, battery, and test-related activities. Track statistical data relating to maritime test-related incidents for trend analysis and potential corrective recommen
