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.

What Youll Do

• Serve as the end-to-end owner of supply chain for the Anduril Intelligence & Space business line, responsible for engineering support, vendor onboarding and development, sourcing, pricing, and negotiating for the total Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Perform a deep dive into the engineering BOM to ensure parts can be sourced and procured at a reasonable target level.
• Conduct supplier selection for specific products, leveraging the approved supplier list and onboarding unique vendors as needed for Space & Intelligence needs.
• Drive on-time delivery by applying solutions to overcome traditional Space industry lead-times and constraints.
• Partner with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development via activities such as: concept scoping, requirements solidification, feature trade-off/trade tables, should-cost/clean-sheet models, joint design development with clear statements of work, and simulation of mechanical and electronics designs.
• Develop and consolidate a manufacturing BOM with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing to ramp production internally and with suppliers with high flexibility.
• Manage total program cost, including NPI and mass production, throughout the NPI lifecycle.

• Complete BOM risk assessments, including alternate component sourcing.
• Ensure completion of all component qualifications ahead of production.
• Reduce complexity through commonality optimization and component/supplier rationalization.
• Lead cost engineering activities to converge the bottoms-up cost curve to product cost, maximizing total cost of ownership (TCO) across the product lifecycle.
• Manage ad-hoc cost issues (e.g., tariffs, import/export costs, cost inflation) and supply issues as they arise to ensure on-time delivery at or below target cost.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or other technical field
• 6+ years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement and development, or design of electronics and/or mechanical devices
• Domain expertise in value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component and product level
