Royce Koh — Irvine, CA. Fifteen years of professional experience in premium automotive operations, Seattle to Orange County, and since January 2026 the builder and operator of a production AI agent platform: conversational agents, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows and integrations to 20+ third-party services.
Fifteen years representing premium, luxury and exotic brands — franchised dealerships, exotic consignment, and a regional EV launch across seven locations.
University of Washington — attended; I did not graduate. The fifteen years of building and running real operations below, and the systems work inside them, is what I actually trained on.
Anduril's Orange County campus is where hardware, software and the field meet — and the jobs you are hiring for are the ones that decide whether a system works after it leaves the lab: deployment, integration, automation, AI operations and program delivery. I moved from Seattle to Orange County deliberately, and I have run operations in both markets — this is the one I chose to build in. That is where my career has been. At the dealerships I owned the outcome — the client, the schedule, the paperwork, the money — and for the last two years I have been on the other side of it, building the software: agents, pipelines, integrations and the monitoring that catches failures before a customer does.
I get systems into the real world, keep them running, and fix what breaks. And I already live ten minutes from Costa Mesa.
At Jaguar Land Rover Newport Beach I do not just carry a client list. I am wired into the systems the store runs on, and everything a client hears from me comes out of them:
Multi-site operations at VinFast (seven retail locations), regional KPI ownership, logistics and delivery scheduling, and consignment inventory for ultra-high-net-worth clients where a single error is visible.
RoyceAI platform: conversational agents, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, persistent memory and skill architecture, integrations to 20+ third-party services — built and operated, not prototyped.
180+ scheduled automations across ~200 environments with self-healing watchdogs, dedupe, and a rule I do not break: every change is verified against the live system before I call it done.
AutoNation: 200% growth in vehicle acquisitions, 50% inventory improvement, 4,000 leads a month closing at 8–9%.
I brief engineers and executives on the same system in the same hour, in plain language — the skill that makes a deployment land instead of stall.
Startup pace at VinFast, high-pressure retail, and my own company. I default to owning the problem, documenting it, and closing it out.
Every role below is an actual Anduril posting in Costa Mesa or Irvine, linked straight to the greenhouse page. The line under each is the specific reason I would be useful in it.
Ran multi-site field operations (7 retail locations at VinFast) and owned delivery for clients where a missed detail is visible and expensive.
Fifteen years of Orange County client operations — I already know the customers, the geography and the contractors this role touches.
Program ownership with cross-functional teams (engineering, F&I, service, logistics); I keep the schedule, the blockers and the paperwork honest.
Hands-on with hardware plus software: consignment inventory, EV charging infrastructure, and my own lab of machines running production automations.
Comfortable in structured, documented, audit-heavy environments — every deployment I ran needed sign-off, records and a clean paper trail.
I build and operate systems end to end: agents, APIs, integrations to 20+ third-party services, and the monitoring that tells me when they break.
I ship to production and stay on it: 180+ scheduled automations, self-healing watchdogs, and verification discipline after every change.
I run an agent platform in production: persistent memory, skill architecture, multi-agent workflows and RAG pipelines across real business systems.
Automation is what I do daily — CRM and lead pipelines at AutoNation, trading systems, phone agents, and a fleet that repairs itself.
I translate between engineers and the business: I explain model behavior to non-technical stakeholders and I have sold to high-net-worth buyers.
200% growth in vehicle acquisitions, 50% inventory improvement, 4,000 leads a month closing at an 8–9% rate.
Google Project Management certified; ran inventory, logistics and delivery scheduling while keeping cost and schedule visible.
Certified. Google IT Support and Google Project Management. The credential I lean on is the platform running in production right now.
Local. Fifteen years in the business, including the Seattle market. Relocated to Orange County and settled in Irvine — ten minutes from the Costa Mesa campus, fifteen from the Irvine sites. I can be on site in person, quickly.
Eligibility. Several Anduril roles require U.S. person status or clearance eligibility. Tell me the requirement and I will confirm my status honestly and immediately — I would rather answer that question in the first email than in the fifth interview.
