Senior Technical Program Manager, Production EngineeringNew$220K
The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Own the schedule and cost performance of engineering-to-production transition for NPI and sustaining changes
Drive engineering release readiness with clear criteria, blocking releases that are not production-ready
Work with the change management team to assess ECO/ECN impact on production schedule, cost, and rework
Track and drive resolution of engineering changes with downstream production: impact, owning rework and retrofit rate accountability
Drive DFM reviews and ensure producibility is addressed before designs lock, not after
Build the systems that make engineering-to-production handoff measurable: first-pass yield, change-driven rework costs, and schedule impact of engineering decisions
What they're looking for
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or autonomous systems NPI and production transition
- Proficiency with data tools such as Palantir Foundry, PLM systems, or custom analytics stacks
- Background in trade studies, tolerance analysis, or process capability modeling applied to DFM decisions
- Experience scaling NPI processes from prototype to rate production
- Familiarity with complex electromechanical, avionics, or composite manufacturing processes
