Deputy Logistics Program Manager, Advanced Effects

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. ABOUT THE TEAM The Deployments Team manages the coordination and execution of fielding Anduril’s hardware and software products worldwide. Working across Product, Engineering, Growth, Business Development, Technical Operations, and Mission Operations, Deployments oversees forward logistics, site installation, maintenance & repairs, field inventory management, sustainment and reverse logistics. The team is central to ensuring effective customer and mission success, shaping the future of Anduril’s defense solutions. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Deputy Logistics Program Manager to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA . In this role, you will act as the working-level owner of how our advanced systems are supported, translating high-level strategies into real-world execution. This is a rigorous DoD acquisition logistics role—focused on supportability analysis, lifecycle planning, and contract execution—designed for a builder who wants to own the numbers and the results. As the Deputy LPM, you own the technical baseline that drives the program forward. While the LPM defines the high-level support construct and contractual commitments, you are accountable for the analytical substance those decisions rest on and the deliverables we ship to the customer. Within your assigned scope, you have the autonomy to decide and execute; outside of it, you develop the strategic recommendations for the LPM’s sign-off. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of acquisition logistics, systems engineering, and program management. You are equally comfortable presenting to a government program office in a sustainment IPT and working a provisioning list line-by-line. This is a builder's role on a rapidly scaling program, offering a clear path to full Logistics Program Manager (LPM) ownership. WHAT YOU’LL DO Deliver the Technical Baseline: Author and own the sustainment CDRL suite (LSP, LORA, SSPCL, PTD, Tech Manuals per MIL-STD-40051, and GEIA-STD-0007). Translate engineering analyses (FMECA, RCM, MTA) into provisioning quantities, maintenance intervals, and support equipment lists. Manage Supply & Maintenance Execution: Manage day-to-day repair-and-return pipelines, track turnaround times, and build provisioning baselines (spares, forecasting). Ensure 100% accuracy of physical and digital property records (GFP and contractor-managed) across CONUS and OCONUS sites. Build the Process & Execute: Identify program gaps and build the SOPs, trackers, and data standards to close them. Proactively surface unaddressed risks, take ownership of unassigned problems, and execute hands-on—from writing procedures to supporting field activations—to keep deployments on track. Influence Strategy & Design: Partner with the LPM to build the LCSP and Product Support Business Case Analyses (organic/CLS/PBL). Represent supportability at design reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR) to ensure reliability and maintainability are baked into the design, and run the DMSMS program to mitigate obsolescence. Drive Cost, Performance, & Customer Interface: Build O&S cost estimates, analyze performance metrics (Ao, MTBF/MTTR), and serve as the secondary voice to government stakeholders (DAPM-LOG, depot planners).
