As a Production Recruiter on our team, you are more than just a talent partner; you are a critical member of the business, embedded directly within the Divisions that are scaling Anduril's manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and production operations capabilities. Your mission…

• Manage the interview process, including conducting initial screens, preparing: candidates and interviewers, and facilitating debriefs to drive effective hiring decisions.

• Navigate production-specific closing dynamics: relocation to manufacturing sites, shift schedules, clearance timelines, comp benchmarking against primes, and career trajectory conversations for candidates moving from established programs to high-growth environments.

• Partner closely with your assigned Divisional Production Recruiting Lead and: hiring managers to deeply understand their production hiring needs, site dynamics, program milestones, and the technical bar for their teams.

• A passion for the defense technology mission and genuine curiosity about how things get built at scale.
• Experience working in a matrixed or similarly complex organizational structure with dual reporting lines.
