ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril’s Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) Division is seeking a Technical Program Manager to join our team. Anduril’s Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high‑volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high‑performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment. We work in close coordination with specialist teams to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• In partnership with the General Manager, Program Managers, Chief Engineers and Engineering teams, you will own the development and deployment of Anduril’s TRS technologies to meet the operational needs of the Department of War.
• Drive the technical execution of development programs from concept through delivery. Ensure all engineering deliverables meet contractual requirements, milestones, and technical standards.
• Serve as a bridge between Program Managers and engineering functional teams.
• Develop strong, trusting relationships with Anduril’s DOW customers, ensuring we have tight feedback loops that enable us to shape solutions, rapidly iterate, and ultimately field solutions faster.
• Autonomously execute on broad and/or ambiguous requirements from internal engineering, customers, and third‑party corporate partners to own successful delivery of outcomes on multiple programs simultaneously.
• Responsible for end‑to‑end execution of the program technical scope and associated deliverables.
• Develop and implement lightweight processes, tools, and metrics for program planning, scope management, risk management, and customer communication to enable Anduril to move rapidly.
• Own all pieces of work and become a trusted partner and advisor to Anduril’s engineers.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field (technical background preferred).

• Experience coordinating multiple internal and external teams within a complex engineering or technology‑focused organization.
