  • Support the T&E Manager in test evaluation and approval processes, documentation, communication with internal and external test range personnel, analysis, process and change management, and resource allocation.
  • Maintain roster of test range relationships, both internal and external, so that Anduril has a broad reach and capability for testing.
  • Travel: 25-50% between internal test ranges (like California, Nevada, Oregon) and external partners (like Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Florida).
