Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Technical Program Manager for Release & Certification to own the end-to-end release process of golden configurations and OS images across fielded systems. You will own calendars, gates, and go/no-go decisions, coordinating with manufacturing, test, and quality to ensure smooth, auditable deployments.

You will define qualification requirements, build certification pipelines for factory scaling, and partner with engineering to automate releases, reducing manual

Qualifications

• 3+ years as a Technical Program Manager, release manager, or engineer owning software release or hardware qualification processes in an embedded, robotics, or systems environment.
• Direct experience with OS image builds, golden configuration management, or fleet-wide software release processes.
• Comfortable reading test/qualification data and making a go/no-go call under time pressure.
• Experience working across engineering, manufacturing, and quality/test organizations.
• Strong written communication — able to document a release process clearly enough that someone else could run it.

Responsibilities

• Own the release process for golden configurations and OS images across MMI and Mission Command's fielded systems — own the calendar, the gates, and the go/no-go call for every release.
• Define and enforce the qualification bar a build has to clear before it ships: test coverage, regression signoff, security/compliance checks, and rollback plan.
• Build and maintain the certification pipeline that qualifies software and hardware builds for factory scaling and provisioning, working with manufacturing, test, and quality to close gaps before they hit the line.
• Partner with engineering to convert one-off releases into a repeatable, auditable process; drive down the manual steps and tribal knowledge required to ship a build.
• Be the point of contact for factory and provisioning teams when a release or certification blocks scaling; triage and drive to resolution.
• Track release health across versions, branches, and fleet, and report status, risk, and blockers to engineering and business-line stakeholders.
• Own the tooling and documentation for the release and certification process, and improve it as the fleet and product surface grow.
