Director, Battlespace Awareness

The Battlespace Awareness (BA) team within the Mission Systems (MS) Division at Anduril develops and delivers advanced situational awareness solutions and decision dominance with precision threat detection, tracking, and targeting. BA takes a software-first approach, using advanced mathematics and algorithm development to fuse data, increase tracking accuracy, and improve performance of integrated sensors. BA software forms the foundation for strategic threat detection and tracking solutions across the Department of Defense. The team also implements its software-first approach in development of next-generation radar platforms to enable threat detection, high precision tracking, and fire control quality data at the edge to defeat modern threats. The BA team is based in Fort Collins, CO and the surrounding area.

The Director, Battlespace Awareness Role is part of the Battlespace Awareness Business Development (BD) team that is responsible for identifying, shaping, capturing, and growing new opportunities and capabilities. To meet current and future client needs, the team must deeply understand the users pain points, how current solutions fail to address existing gaps, and how Anduril products can deliver more effective mission outcomes. 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. The BD team partners closely with programs, engineering, and leadership teams to ensure that Anduril products exceed client expectations and mission demands, and to drive continuous product improvements in response to ever-changing client needs and operating environments. The BD team also works closely with other divisions and business lines inside Anduril to provide customers with best-in-class integrated systems.
