Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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.
We are looking for a Legal Counsel to join our rapidly growing team in Washington, DC or Costa Mesa, CA to provide legal support for Anduril’s Connected Warfare (“CW”) Division. CW encompasses both innovative software and hardware solutions to connect robots, humans, and sensors via advanced mesh network solutions, and this role will support the full spectrum of United States government and commercial contracts related to CW products. This includes: providing legal oversight to proposals, procurement, advising on data rights and contract structures, giving legal guidance to existing business areas, and crafting legal and business strategies. This role will partner closely with customers, outside counsel, and business partners across the organization to support business development and legal operations.
Anduril is a fast-growing company at the early stages of growth. Consistent with this fast growth, members of Anduril’s Legal Team must be resourceful, creative, and eager to take ownership of complex matters.

In addition to helping capture and execute new government deals, you will work on all other aspects of Anduril’s business, from negotiating license and services agreements, to bid protests and litigation, to handling intellectual property, compliance, and innovative software and hardware product launch matters. Experience across all of these areas is not expected, but a willingness to learn and adapt is.
Our team is passionate about the law and policy of defense technology and you should have an independent interest in the key issues in this field. Anduril fosters a diverse, collaborative, culture with tremendous opportunities for ownership and professional growth.
