Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h3>Company Overview</h3> <p>Anduril is a defense technology company, bringing Silicon Valley talent and funding to the defense sector. Our technology helps our customers solve their toughest challenges by enabling them to make better, more informed decisions in life-and-death situations. We’ve assembled a diverse team of experts in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, optics, and data analysis that are creating software and hardware solutions to radically evolve the capabilities of the United States and our allies. If you are passionate about solving problems that have real impact, come join Anduril and build the future of defense.</p> <h3>Team Overview</h3> <p>Anduril’s Mission Autonomy team builds the software ecosystem used to command and control collaborative combat aircraft (CCA). Our software is deployed both onboard air vehicles and within operator-controlled Ground Control Stations, and it supports the complete “Day-in-the-Life” of these vehicles: operator training, mission planning, mission execution, and mission debrief. Our software is deliberately built to be agnostic to any single air vehicle or software platform, and it is integrated against government reference architectures and interfaces so that it can operate across a competitive vendor ecosystem. Our responsibilities include autonomy software development, air vehicle and ground system integration, flight test support, and the technical documentation that lets operators, integrators, and developers use our autonomy stack correctly. We are seeking an experienced senior technical writer to build and maintain autonomy software documentation in accordance with program and customer requirements. We believe that the quality of our documentation should reflect the quality of our products, which are world-class.</p> <h3>Role Specifics</h3> <p>As a senior technical writer, your mission is to partner with our autonomy, platform integration, and flight test teams to deliver accurate, updated, and easy-to-understand documentation on how to integrate, configure, and operate Anduril’s Mission Autonomy software. You will do whatever it takes to organize our engineering and program delivery functions in this mission. In this role, you will work closely with engineers, autonomy behavior developers, test engineers, and various subject matter experts to understand our software, identify integrator and operator workflows, and use documentation to close the gap. As such, the technical writer will play a foundational role in setting the bar for tone, voice, and quality across our written artifacts.</p> <p>With Anduril’s focus on defense and national security, autonomy documentation plays a critical role in ensuring operators in every role, from Air Vehicle Controller to Quarterback, understand how our autonomy behaves across its operating modes, what it will and will not do on its own, and how to task, override, and approve its actions. Your mission is to make the process of learning how to employ autonomous systems as easy and seamless as possible, with exceptionally written and presented artifacts.</p> &
