The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own end-to-end program: execution for one or more hardware programs within AES — from early development through production scaling. You are the single accountable owner for schedule, cost, and scope across your program, and the primary interface between the program team, senior leadership, and external stakeholders. You will drive decisions, not just surface them.

  • This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in hardware development: who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level — able to define a program roadmap one hour and resolve a supply chain blocker the next.

  • Own the full program lifecycle for assigned AES hardware programs: from NPI and prototype builds through low-rate and full-rate production — with accountability for schedule, cost, and scope performance.

  • Develop and maintain comprehensive program plans, integrated master: schedules, budgets, risk registers, and stakeholder communications, ensuring all artifacts reflect ground truth at all times.

  • Define program execution strategy, including phase gate criteria, acceptance: frameworks, build plans, and production transition roadmaps.

  • Lead cross-functional program teams spanning engineering, supply chain,: manufacturing, quality, and operations — aligning priorities, resolving conflicts, and driving accountability at every level.

What they're looking for

  • Experience scaling hardware programs from prototype to LRIP or full-rate production
  • Familiarity with ITAR-controlled programs and associated documentation and compliance requirements
  • Background in manufacturing operations, production engineering, or supply chain management
  • Experience with NPI gate frameworks (DV, PV, LRIP) and production readiness reviews
  • PMP, DAU, or equivalent certification
  • Master’s degree in engineering, Systems engineering, Business, or a related: technical discipline; advanced degree is a plus
