Senior Product Manager - Simulation Infrastructure

About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Product Manager to oversee simulation infrastructure and capabilities that enable autonomy development, testing, and validation at scale across Anduril. This Senior Product Manager role is crucial as it involves leading initiatives that require both product thinking and deep technical coordination across teams.

What You'll Do

• Drive platform initiatives by leading scoping and execution of simulation infrastructure projects including Faster-Than-Real-Time (FTRT) testing adoption, Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) test infrastructure, and synthetic environment capabilities.
• Enable autonomy developers by working directly with autonomy teams to understand their workflows and pain points, aiming to shift 80% of autonomy development workflows to FTRT simulation stacks.
• Coordinate across teams to build relationships with various business lines that utilize simulation infrastructure, gathering requirements and aligning diverse stakeholders around shared technical direction.
• Decompose and execute by breaking down ambiguous problems into concrete technical plans, scoping features, planning sprints, and driving execution to completion.
• Own technical strategy by developing pathways for complex initiatives like geospatial infrastructure and synthetic environments, making architectural decisions that balance performance, cost, and developer experience.
• Communicate context by translating technical details for non-technical stakeholders and business context for engineering teams, setting clear expectations and escalating tradeoffs when necessary.

Requirements

• 5-10 years in product management, software development, or managing complex technical systems.
• Technical background with experience in simulation systems, autonomy development, or adjacent domains.
• Track record working on platform or infrastructure teams with an "enable builders" mindset.
• Evidence of being scrappy and hands-on to ship projects, not just planning them.
• Strong ability to build relationships and coordinate across multiple technical teams.
• Demonstrated success in decomposing complex technical problems and driving execution.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.

Nice to Have

• Experience with autonomy development workflows.
• Experience with FTRT simulation, Software-in-the-Loop (SiTL), or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiTL) testing.
• Familiarity with LVC architectures, HLA/DIS standards, or distributed simulation systems.
• Experience with geospatial data pipelines, terrain generation, or synthetic environments.
• Background in defense, aerospace, or autonomous systems through industry or education.
• Active security clearance helpful but not required.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost.
• Highly competitive PTO plans with a holiday hiatus in December.
• Access to free mental health resources 24/7, including therapy and life coaching.
• Annual reimbursement for professional development.
• Company-funded commuter benefits based on your region.
• Relocation assistance available depending on role eligibility.
