What we value in a technical operations engineer
- Mission First: Above all, Technical Operations Engineers execute their mission in an expedient, and pragmatic way. They keep the mission top-of-mind and make pragmatic and thoughtful technical decisions to deliver successful outcomes.
- Technical Mastery: Technical Operations Engineers should possess a natural technical curiosity and ability to research and learn autonomously, enabling them to master and support technical systems independently.
- Customer Facing: Technical Operations Engineers are closest to Anduril's customers, end-users, and the technical challenges of operational scenarios. They should be proud representatives of Anduril and our products.
- Trust & Influence: Technical Operations Engineers should have the ability to foster trust with our customers, and internally within Anduril.
- Embrace Challenge (and follow through): Technical Operations Engineers take responsibility for achieving the mission.
