Air Dominance and Strike has developed hardware including the Fury and Barracuda Autonomous Air Vehicles and software extended from onboard autonomy to offboard orchestration.. We continually strive to push the boundaries of the possible in terms of capability and redefine performance for the defense industry.

ABOUT THE JOB

The Mission Autonomy (MA) Business Development (BD) Team, within Anduril’s Air Dominance and Strike Division, is responsible for identifying, shaping, capturing, and growing new opportunities and capabilities that cement Anduril as the leader in high-performance autonomous systems.

BD team members serve as the bridge between clients and the broader Anduril team; they convey client perspectives to other teams across the enterprise while also serving as the Anduril brand ambassador externally.
