Software Product Manager, Air Defense

5+ years working in product development for complex software systems (robotics, simulation, training systems, or mission-critical defense applications), with at least 3 years specifically in a hands-on product management capacity.

Robust technical aptitude — able to understand technical designs, software development lifecycle, architectural tradeoffs, and risks; effective working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering teams.

Comfortable with concepts like kinematic modeling, sensor physics, and real-time distributed systems.

Demonstrated success decomposing complex problems into addressable component parts.

Experience with Software-in-the-Loop (SiTL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiTL), or other complex hardware/software integration testing.

Knowledge of modern game engines (Unity, Unreal) or physics simulation frameworks.

Anduril’s Air Defense team builds autonomous 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, we provide critical force protection capabilities to support the warfighter.

As the Software Product Manager for our Simulation Trainer, you will have an immediate impact on real-world operations by building the core simulation experience that allows us to rapidly iterate, test and train capabilities that close the kill chain against a broad range of UAS threats.

Articulate a clear product vision and own the technical strategy for our simulation product, from core infrastructure like synthetic environments and scenario authoring tools to the end-user experience.

Serve as the voice of the user by embedding with operators, gathering requirements from teams across all programs, and translating their collective needs into a unified and prioritized product roadmap This includes direct engagement with military operators in the field to understand training workflows, proficiency requirements, and operational pain points.

Listen to the developer community to understand pain points on the Lattice platform, diagnose how they reflect product deficiencies, and assess their impact on the end-user simulation experience.
