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.\nABOUT THE ROLE \nAs a Senior Training Instructor, you will plan, resource, and deliver world-class technical training on Anduril's autonomous air vehicles, enabled by a deep understanding of our products and each customer's unique demands. You will serve as subject matter expert on Anduril's growing AV product offerings, including a cornerstone program of Anduril's Air Dominance and Strike Division. \nThis is primarily an instructor role, and we are looking for someone who comes from military aviation maintenance. You will spend most of your time leading technical instruction, in the classroom and hands-on at the aircraft, for USAF maintainers and operators who will expect you to have done the job yourself. You are also a core member of the training development team: embedded closely enough with the content to edit it, manage it, flag updates as the aircraft changes, and support validation testing alongside our instructional designers and curriculum developers. \nExpect to learn the air vehicle the way the maintainers do. Early on, and recurring as the aircraft changes, you will work alongside and shadow our maintenance team on the flight line to build and keep first-hand knowledge of the systems you teach. \nOur customer is moving to a Mission Ready Airman model, in which an Airman is certified on the aircraft regardless of their Air Force Specialty Code rather than staying inside a single specialty. You will be expected to model that yourself: working knowledge across all air vehicle systems, spanning both the Tech and Mech sides of the course, rather than depth in a single specialty. That is a real shift from a traditional specialty-aligned maintenance career, and it is central to how we teach. \nYou will help drive adoption of our products by understanding user workflows, surfacing pain points, and feeding what you learn in the classroom back into the curriculum. If you are passionate about teaching ground-breaking technology, contributing to the national security mission, and working alongside professionals across a wide range of disciplines, Anduril is interested in speaking with you. \nWHAT YOU'LL DO \nDeliver training \nLead classroom presentations and hands-on instruction on site at customer locations, Anduril test sites, and government air bases \nInstruct across both cognitive and procedural training: systems knowledge in the classroom, task performance at the aircraft \nEducate end users from military, government agency, and commercial backgrounds on Anduril's hardware and software offerings \nOrchestrate the expeditionary delivery of training on Anduril products \nLearn and stay current on the air vehicle \nWork alongside and shadow Anduril maintainers on the flight line to build first-hand working knowledge of the AV and its systems \nMaintain that currency as the aircraft, software, and technical data change, rather than teaching from a fixed snapshot \nBuild the working relationships with the maintenance and test teams that let you get an authoritative answer quickly when a student asks something the courseware does not cover \nDevelop and hold working knowledge across all air vehicle systems, spanning both the Tech disciplines (avionics and mission systems, electrical and environmental, armament and weapons) and the Mech disciplines (airframe and structures, propulsion and fuel), so you can instruct a cross-AFSC audience under the Mission Ready Airman model \nSupport and maintain the curriculum \nWork side by side with instructional designers and curriculum developers to shape and refine training content, bringing the instructor's perspective to how it is built \nPerform basic editing and content management on existing courseware \nFlag required updates as hardware, software, and technical data change, and keep instruction current with them \nSupport validation testing of new and revised courseware before it reaches students \nWork with engineers, program managers, and subject matter experts to convert product capabilities and tasks, techniques, and procedures into learning objectives with matching course content \nServe as the voice of our customers \nBuild a bridge between end users and Anduril, capturing feedback and identifying pain points from the classroom and the flight line \nInform the development of new product features and drive change in the curriculum based on what you observe students struggle with \nCollaborate across Anduril \nWork across product development, engineering, design, and operations to capture product updates and support training of end users \nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS \nPrior instructor experience delivering technical training, including hands-on instruction on aircraft or complex equipment. Military instructor duty or a formal instructor certification strongly preferred. \n Extensive military aviation maintenance experience. You have worked the flight line in a uniformed maintenance role on fighter, UAV, or comparable military aircraft, and you know how USAF maintenance is actually organized, documented, and supervised. \nDirect maintenance experience with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), fighter type aircraft, or advanced aviation equipment \nWorking knowledge of military technical data and maintenance documentation practices (technical orders, work packages, forms, and the discipline around following them) \nWillingness and demonstrated ability to work outside your own AFSC or specialty. Our customer certifies Airmen on the aircraft regardless of specialty code under the Mission Ready Airman model, and we expect our instructor to model it. You will teach across both the Tech and Mech disciplines: \nTech: Avionics & Mission Systems, Electrical & Environmental, Armament & Weapons \nMech: Airframe & Structures, Propulsion & Fuel \nDepth in one of these is expected; a credible working knowledge of all of them is the job. Candidates who have only ever worked a single specialty should expect a steep ramp. \nTraining background with expertise in planning, developing, and delivering training \nUnderstanding and proven application of ADDIE, adult learning theories, and instructional design for training program development in a technical field \nAdaptive, creative communication style that fits a variety of audiences and works across a variety of mediums \nAbility to work in cross-functional environments and influence others with no hierarchical relationship \nOwnership mentality with strong initiative in managing your own work, and possibly that of others. You should have a natural bias to assume responsibility. \nEnthusiastic about transforming US and allied military capabilities with advanced technology \nFamiliarity with United States Air Force training, maintenance, and safety protocols \nEligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top-Secret security clearance \n Location: This role is on site with the aircraftand the maintainers it supportsat Creech AFB. Costa Mesa (HQ) can work for the right candidate, butexpect sustained time at the training sites rather than at a corporate office, sincethe aircraftand the maintainers are there. \nWilling to travel up to 50% for up to severalweeks at a time, especially if locatedat an alternate location to Creech AFB. \nAbility to perform duties in diverse field conditions, including potentially physically demanding environments \nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS \nMilitary instructor duty or a formal instructor certification (USAF Training Development Course, Craftsman-level 7-skill-level instructor duty, or equivalent) \nTen or more years of aviation maintenance experience, with an A&P or military applicable equivalent rating \nExperience as a 7-level or above, production supervisor, expediter, or equivalent maintenance leadership role \nExperience standing up training at a new location or on a new airframe \nExperience with cross-utilization training, multi-specialty qualification, or a Mission Ready Airman / Multi-Capable Airman construct \nExperience supporting courseware validation or training material review cycles \nMunitions storage and handling controls \nUS Salary Range\n$97,000—$129,000 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
