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 Job

As a Senior member of Anduril's Talent Acquisition team, you will own full-cycle hiring across our Quality organization — with a primary focus on Product Quality Engineering — as we continue to rapidly scale and grow. Your work will be hands‑on and involve partnering closely with Quality, Engineering, and Manufacturing leadership to define hiring needs for highly technical, often hard‑to‑find quality talent, influence process improvements and efficiencies, and set a high bar of talent and performance. To achieve this, you will be given the autonomy and tools to execute, build, and develop Anduril's world‑class Quality team. We are looking for someone who can handle every aspect of recruiting and talent mapping, excited to be part of a lean and nimble team on one mission together, where no task is too big or too small.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive hiring strategy full-cycle across the Quality organization — with a primary focus on Product Quality Engineering — providing effective, clear communication and reporting
• Act as a subject matter expert in prospecting techniques and tools used for information retrieval, data extraction, web‑scraping, continuous process improvement, process automation, and candidate management
• Conduct a high volume of interviews, demonstrating ability to anticipate and influence hiring manager preferences through successful interview‑to‑offer conversion ratios
• Engage and source passive candidates — Product Quality, Supplier Quality, and Process Quality Engineers — using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean strings, and referrals
• Build talent maps across the Product Quality, Supplier Quality, and broader Quality Engineering communities to generate market insights that inform your engagement strategy
• Drive diverse talent into the organization ensuring a positive candidate experience at every touchpoint
• Represent the company's brand and recruiting team internally and externally at the highest caliber
• Leverage internal resources, teammates, and cross‑functional partners to build strategy around selling our value proposition and impacting hiring practices

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of full‑cycle technical talent acquisition experience evaluating and hiring top‑tier engineering talent, including demonstrated experience recruiting Product Quality Engineers and adjacent quality talent (e.g., PFMEA, APQP/PPAP, RCCA/8D, CAPA, SPC/MSA, GD&T, first article/FAI, DPPM)
• 3+ years of experience working with senior‑level leaders and stakeholders, reporting on progress, creating and advising on talent strategies
• Experience recruiting in a fast‑paced in‑house environment (agency background a plus), hiring exempt engineering roles in Product Quality, Supplier Quality, Process/Manufacturing Quality, or adjacent disciplines (Quality Systems, Reliability, or Mission Assurance Engineering)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building a talent acquisition function from the ground up for a greenfield location
• Experience hiring into aerospace, defense, or other regulated/safety‑critical industries, with working knowledge of ITAR policies around hiring practices
• Familiarity with the credentialing landscape for quality engineers (e.g., ASQ CQE, CMQ/OE, Six Sigma Green/Black Belt) and the quality management systems that govern the work (AS9100, ISO 9001, NADCAP), plus the universities and employers that produce this talent
• Experience acting in a consultative manner where your guidance has led to improved outcomes and positive candidate experiences
• Clear and effective communication with candidates to understand motivation, drivers, and fit within the organization
• Experience managing various high‑volume pipelines of candidates and keeping track of their progress throughout the recruitment process
• Highly autonomous, collaborative, and adaptable
