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 JOB The Deployments Team manages the coordination and execution of fielding Anduril's hardware and software products worldwide. Working across Product, Engineering, Growth, Business Development, Technical Operations, and Mission Operations, Deployments oversees forward logistics, site installation, maintenance & repairs, field inventory management, sustainment, and reverse logistics. The team is central to ensuring effective customer and mission success, shaping the future of Anduril's defense solutions. We are seeking a Forward Logistics Associate to provide on-the-ground logistics support across the Middle East and Africa. This role will be forward-deployed to U.S. military installations, including operating bases and forward operating bases located in designated hazard zones. You will serve as the in-theater logistics owner for all Anduril equipment movements, sparing accountability, and asset flow. You will also work shoulder-to-shoulder with uniformed military personnel, U.S. government representatives, and Anduril field teams to ensure that mission-critical hardware arrives at the right place, at the right time, every time. This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on, mission-driven logistician who thrives in austere environments, can navigate the complexities of in-theater military logistics, and is energized by directly enabling the warfighter. A successful candidate will bring a deep appreciation for details, an ability to operate independently in ambiguous and high-stakes settings, and the resilience to execute white-glove logistics services where there are no second chances or do-overs. WHAT YOU'LL DO In-Theater Transportation & Movement Coordination Facilitate the movement of Anduril hardware, spares, and personnel between main operating bases and forward operating bases (FOBs) across the Middle East and Africa. Coordinate intra-theater transport via military airlift (e.g., CENTCOM/AFRICOM rotators, rotary-wing), ground convoys, and contracted carriers as appropriate. Work directly with uniformed military movement control teams (e.g., Air Mobility Command, TMO/JMO, SDDC, A4/G4, Battalion S-4s) to schedule lift, secure manifest space, and execute on-time delivery. Serve as the on-the-ground point of contact for all logistics activities at supported sites, ensuring the smooth flow of Anduril assets through hazard zones. Military Transport Documentation & Compliance Prepare, validate, and submit all required military transport documentation, including DD Form 1149, DD Form 1387 (MSL), DD Form 250, AWBs, hazmat shipping declarations, and customs paperwork. Partner with uniformed military counterparts to build and submit Transportation Movement Requests (TMRs) and to coordinate Government Bill of Lading (GBL) shipments. Ensure full compliance with DoD, host-nation, ITAR, EAR, and Dangerous Goods (IATA, IMDG, 49 CFR) regulations for all in-theater shipments. Maintain meticulous chain-of-custody for sensitive, classified, and dangerous goods shipments. Inbound & Outbound Shipment Management Manage the receipt, inspection, and acceptance of all inbound Anduril equipment arriving in theater from CONUS and OCONUS origins. Coordinate outbound shipments, including reverse logistics for retrograde, RMA, and
