Descrizione del lavoro

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 Quality organization is seeking a Senior Manager, Digital Quality Systems to lead the team responsible for our digital quality platform and analytics infrastructure. The Quality team works with our customers, internal teams, and suppliers to ensure the deployment of reliable products that meet all mission requirements. We develop cutting-edge quality processes and methods to secure scalable, long-term business success. We are growing rapidly across multiple product lines and sites, and this role will own the quality workflows inside Forge, our homegrown Manufacturing Execution System, and the Quality Intelligence Hub, our centralized analytics and compliance layer built on Databricks. The right person for this role lives at the intersection of software and quality engineering, someone who can design a data model, review code, ship in sprints, and understand how nonconformance, CAPA, and inspection processes work on a real factory floor. If you want to build the digital quality backbone for the next generation of defense manufacturing, this is the seat.

This role is subject to ITAR. Applicants must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Platform architecture. Own the design of quality workflows in Forge: inspection routings, data capture points, decision logic and audit trails. Keep them version-controlled and audit-ready.
• Core quality workflows. Build NC, disposition, containment, CAPA, SCAR and inspection instructions into production flow, not bolted on after it.
• Quality Intelligence Hub. Direct the data models and dashboards behind FPY, DPU, escape rates, CAPA aging, NC Pareto, supplier scorecards and SPC trending.
• Operator experience. Make sure floor operators and quality engineers get fast, error-resistant tools they actually want to use.
• Team leadership. Lead developers, data engineers, analysts and quality SMEs: set sprint priorities, review designs and code, and unblock decisions.
• Cross-functional alignment. Keep the platform in step with product development, supplier quality, reliability and manufacturing as programs and sites scale.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on software experience.
• 10+ years building or leading enterprise software, manufacturing systems or quality systems, with 5+ years leading engineers or analysts.
• Hands-on software credibility: you can sketch an architecture, challenge a schema, read a pull request and make build-vs-buy calls.
• Working knowledge of enterprise quality processes: NC, CAPA, SCAR, disposition, containment, inspection and document control, and how each translates into data capture and workflow.
• Data and analytics fluency: SQL and Python, and experience with a modern data platform such as Databricks, Snowflake or similar.
• Experience running agile delivery: sprint planning, backlog grooming, CI/CD and iterative releases with a cross-functional team.
• Comfort making architecture decisions with imperfect information in a fast-scaling environment.
• U.S. citizenship is required pursuant to contractual obligations.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with a homegrown or heavily customized MES, not only out-of-the-box SAP QM or Windchill.
• Aerospace, defense, medical device or other regulated manufacturing background (AS9100, ISO 9001, ISO 13485).
• Practical AI/ML use in production workflows or strong personal fluency with AI tooling.
• Statistical methods in practice: SPC, MSA and process capability analysis.
• IoT-enabled inspection data capture, automated optical inspection or machine vision integration.
• APQP/PPAP or FMEA tied into digital quality systems.
• ASQ certification (CQE, CMQ/OE or Six Sigma Black Belt).
