  • Instruct across both cognitive and procedural training: systems knowledge in the classroom, task performance at the aircraft
  • Educate end users from military, government agency, and commercial backgrounds on Anduril's hardware and software offerings
  • Orchestrate the expeditionary delivery of training on Anduril products
  • Learn and stay current on the air vehicle: Work alongside and shadow Anduril maintainers on the flight line to build first-hand working knowledge of the AV and its systems
  • Maintain currency as the aircraft, software, and technical data change
  • Build working relationships with maintenance and test teams for authoritative answers
  • Develop working knowledge across all air vehicle systems (Tech: Avionics & Mission Systems, Electrical & Environmental, Armament & Weapons; Mech: Airframe & Structures, Propulsion & Fuel) for cross-AFSC instruction under Mission Ready Airman
  • Support and maintain the curriculum: Collaborate with instructional designers to shape and refine training content; perform basic editing and content management on courseware; flag updates as hardware/software data change; support validation testing of courseware
  • Convert product capabilities and tasks into learning objectives with matching course content
  • Serve as the voice of our customers: capture feedback and pain points from classroom and flight line; inform product feature development and curriculums based on observed student struggles
  • Collaborate across Anduril: work with product development, engineering, design, and operations to capture product updates and train end users

  • Extensive military aviation maintenance experience (flight line experience in uniformed maintenance role on fighter, UAV, or comparable military aircraft)
  • Direct maintenance experience with UAVs, fighter-type aircraft, or advanced aviation equipment
  • Working knowledge of military technical data and maintenance documentation practices (technical orders, work packages, forms, and the discipline around following them)
  • Willingness and demonstrated ability to work outside your own AFSC or specialty; teach across Tech and Mech disciplines: Tech (Avionics & Mission Systems, Electrical & Environmental, Armament & Weapons), Mech (Airframe & Structures, Propulsion & Fuel); depth in one area plus credible knowledge of others

  • Familiarity with USAF training, maintenance, and safety protocols
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top-Secret security clearance
