Job description

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) business line builds next-generation products — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems that are fielded, operational, and scaling fast. The EW team operates at a tempo the defense industry isn't used to: delivering novel system configurations into active operations in days, not months, securing major contract awards in under 24 hours, and earning unanimous fielding recommendations from government evaluators. Production is scaling from hundreds to thousands of units across multiple product variants, and the release and delivery challenges are scaling with it.

• Responsible for planning, directing, and measuring the seamless execution of the product development process from NPI through manufacturing readiness, full rate production, and into sustainment
• Co-Chair the product Change Control Board (CCB) with Configuration Management for production sustainment
• Leverage inputs from various sources (market, growth, customer, reliability, automation, manufacturing, scalability) and drive product level decisions with high visibility and impact to the business line and customers
• Ensure status and effective communication with key stakeholders across the product development lifecycle

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in STEM, or equivalent experience in a complementary field
• 5+ years in product or program management, emphasizing in technical product ownership
