Full 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 TEAM The Air Dominance and Strike Division is one of Anduril's fastest growing, most technically complex divisions. We develop and build collaborative combat aircraft, missiles, and the software that powers these autonomous weapons. We are scaling production of a first-of-kind autonomous aircraft. Every design decision becomes a production outcome, and this role owns that connection. ABOUT THE JOB Your job is to make the handoff from design to production predictable, fast, and right the first time. Success in this position hinges on three key facets: NPI and change management discipline - you drive NPI and sustaining engineering changes through the system with clear release criteria, honest impact assessments, and hard gates when something is not ready. You work with the change management team to trace every engineering decision to its production outcome. Technical depth to challenge engineering - you understand producibility well enough to see a problem before it hits the floor. When first-pass yield drops because of a design choice, you either prevented it or are already driving the fix. Speed across organizational boundaries - you drive decisions between engineering and production faster than the cadence allows. Both teams trust you because y
