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:

The Business Systems team is responsible for building and improving the many business systems that enables Anduril to accomplish its mission. We call this system-of-systems “ArsenalOS”. Within ArsenalOS lies a suite of digital software solutions aimed at solving the problems for our manufacturing and supply chain departments, which we call ProductionOS (ProdOS for short).

As the Director of ProdOS, you will own the design, development and delivery of digital supply chain and manufacturing systems at Anduril across all product lines. You will be the leader of a cross-discipline team of product managers, software and enterprise engineers, data analysts, solution and business process architects, and other technologists responsible for delivering solutions that elevate the performance of Anduril’s manufacturing and supply chain departments.

To accomplish this, you will build strong cross-functional partnerships and lead through influence, especially in areas such as digital tools, process development, test engineering, supply chain, material handling, and manufacturing engineering. You will develop a detailed understanding of each team’s challenges and requirements to understand what solutions can best address their needs, architect and build solutions, and drive adoption, all to ultimately provide operational leverage to your customer organizations. Because these teams have different use cases and timelines, you must be an agile, general-athlete style product thinker who can dive deep into intricacies of how one team executes a technical workflow, closely examine the metrics of the systems to understand failure points, map an intertwined set of dependencies to build a coherent roadmap, and update executives on the current and future sets of your program all in the course of a single day.

WHAT YOU"LL DO:

Developing the ProdOS vision for Anduril, ensuring that our internal tech stack maximizes the impact of Manufacturing and Supply Chain users across the hardware development cycle, making one of our engineers as effective as five at traditional manufacturers.
Serve as the “single threaded leader” for ProdOS, orchestrating the investment made by many teams (Software PM and engineers, Analytics Engineers, Solution and Business Architects, Sysadmins, etc.) within the Corporate Technology department and be the point of contact between CorpTech and all Manufacturing/Supply Chain departments at the company.
Crafting a ProdOS roadmap that is outcome-driven and dissects the difference between urgent and important—and prioritizes accordingly.
Communicating across stakeholders on your program's development and roadmap, as well as monitoring and reporting on program performance to understand if business outcomes are getting met.
Driving adoption and enablement through the use of change management tools, schedules, and user engagement (UAT, training, sandbox environment, piloting, etc).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

10+ years in Product or Program Management, dealing with both technical and non-technical teams
Experience at advanced and scaled manufacturing companies, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, semiconductor, etc.
Expertise in Manufacturing and Supply Chain processes and the software tools that enable them (including but not limited to MES, IIoT/Industry 4.0, PLM, QMS, Config / Change Management, ERP)
Expertise in the development of both 1P (built) and 3P (bought) enterprise systems, with strong understanding of: access controls / security, infrastructure, feature development, configuration, administration, integrations, etc.
Experience with coordinating and directing the effort made by a wide variety of technologist skillsets, including software development (PMs and engineers), enterprise systems (solution architects, solution engineers, sys admins), and data (analytic and data engineers, analysts)
Exposure to both high-rate and prototype/low-rate manufacturing processes, as well as different manufacturing types (continuous, batch)
Deeply analytical in nature, with the ability to harness data to drive decisions and build solutions to capture and enrich data where it is lacking
Strong critical thinking skills, with the ability to challenge traditional approaches when it comes to developing technology solutions rather than just default to “buy new shiny software” mentality
Experience influencing stakeholders from the shop floor to the boardroom across vision-setting, culture, program updates, and postmortems.
Demonstrated success decomposing a problem into addressable component parts and arranging the correct sequencing
Proven ability to “see around corners” by crafting a strategy for 12-18 months into the future
Excellent written / verbal communication and project management skills
Ability to think systemically, take decisive action quickly, and above everything else, find a way for the business to win
Must be able to travel up to 33% of the time, as your stakeholders will be geographically dispersed
Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Engineering background in robotics, process automation, software/data engineering, manufacturing analytics, and applied ML/AI.
Understanding of modern software engineering paradigms: API-first design, event-driven and micro services architectures, loosely coupled systems, adapter patterns, request/response and pub-sub models.
Working knowledge of industrial controls and test engineering interfaces, including industrial protocols, driver development, and data handling.
Appreciation for virtual-first tools—such as digital builds for DFx, safety, ergonomic assessments, and virtual commissioning of controls systems.
