The opportunity

Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible…

What you'll do

  • Develop a long-term strategy for AI-powered manufacturing applications,: navigating complex tradeoffs between computer vision, document processing, RAG-enabled tools, and agentic AI workflows based on operational impact and technical maturity.

  • Define the product roadmap for ML pipelines including factory sensing: (computer vision for quality inspection, anomaly detection), document processing (drawing conversion, work instruction digitization), and intelligent automation.

  • Gather and refine both functional requirements (what the AI should do) and: non-functional requirements (model accuracy, inference latency, explainability, human-in-the-loop requirements) and synthesize them into a prioritized backlog.

  • Communicate across stakeholders on AI roadmap and delivery, exercising: judgment to educate stakeholders on AI capabilities and limitations, and managing expectations for model performance and deployment timelines.

  • Walk the factory floor and observe business operations directly, talking with: quality inspectors, document processors, operators, and engineers about where manual toil exists and where AI could genuinely help.

  • Own the deployment and adoption of AI systems, including change management,: user training, trust-building, and continuous feedback loops that improve model performance over time.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building or owning AI/ML products for manufacturing including: computer vision for quality inspection, predictive maintenance, document processing, or intelligent automation.
  • Hands-on experience in manufacturing industries with time spent on assembly: lines or in production facilities understanding where AI can solve real operational problems.
  • Familiarity with frontier AI tooling including large language models (LLMs),: RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, agentic AI frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows.
  • Experience with MLOps practices, model deployment pipelines, and AI system: observability including model performance monitoring and drift detection.
  • Understanding of computer vision applications in manufacturing such as: automated inspection, defect detection, or pose estimation.
  • Experience with document extraction, intelligent document processing (IDP),: or automated drawing conversion systems.
  • Experience in hyper-growth startup-like environments, balancing speed,: experimentation, and long-term platform health for AI systems.
  • Background in change management for AI adoption, including user training,: trust-building, and managing expectations around AI capabilities.
