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.

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.
Anduril’s Mission Success team is a cross-functional group that partners with every business line and supports all products that Anduril builds. Our responsibilities include product operations, training and adoption, and user documentation, and we sit within a broader team whose focus is on integrated product support. We are seeking an experienced Technical Documentation Director to lead a team to create and maintain user documentation across our diverse business lines. We believe that the quality of our documentation should reflect the quality of products, which are world-class.
As an experienced Technical Documentation Director, your mission is to lead our team in delivering exceptional, user-centric product documentation. In this role, you will design and deliver a forward-looking strategy, streamline documentation processes, and lead a team of technical writers, editors, and illustrators to produce content that meets both user needs and business objectives.

As such, you will play a foundational role in setting the bar for tone, voice, and quality across our written artifacts.
With Anduril’s focus on defense and national security, user documentation plays a critical role in ensuring front-line operators know how to leverage the “arsenal of democracy.” Your team’s mission is to make the process of learning how to operate systems as easy and seamless as possible, with exceptionally well written and presented artifacts.
You will supervise your team’s efforts to identify relevant stakeholders and lead them through documentation roadmaps with established key milestones and targets. This will require an in-depth understanding of what teams are relevant to documentation, and what an organized effort toward collaboration entails. You are to ensure that stakeholders are engaged at the right time, and you will guide them towards a finished user-facing document that plainly meets customer needs. Finally, your team will work with account managers to ensure that contract deliverables are accurate, on-time, and in the right format.
Written content artifacts under this charge may include things like: technical manuals, operational manuals, maintenance manuals, procedures, checklists, templates, user guides, troubleshooting guides, and release notes. You will partner with account, product, and engineering teams across all phases of product development to ensure users have the right documentation available.
Along with our commercial offerings outlined above, Anduril is pursuing Programs with the US Government, which require documentation in MIL-STD-40051D, and S1000D, delivered via IADs. Familiarity with these standards is highly desired.
