Technical Project Manager (Machine Vision), Manufacturing AutomationNew$220K

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

What you'll do

• Discovery and Scoping: Engage with product lines to evaluate their pain points, failure matrices, and current inspection and rework burden. Quantify the baseline (escape rate, inspection hours, scrap and rework cost) so that every deployment has a measurable “why” and a defensible return before engineering time is committed.

• Requirements and Technical Documentation: Work closely with machine vision engineers to develop the technical design documentation for a solution, including requirements, acceptance criteria, integration constraints, and the test plan that proves the system performs before it is handed to the floor.

• Scope and Expectation Management: Forecast scope creep and ensure the product line understands the capabilities and limits of a solution both now and as their design and process change.

• Schedule and Delivery Ownership: Manage delivery dates of machine vision deployments across several concurrent projects. Build schedules that respect lead times on optics and hardware, engineering capacity, and the factory downtime windows available to you. Routinely communicate hurdles, risks, and milestones to both Automation management and the product lines you support.

• Cross Functional Engagement: Own the engagement required to deliver machine vision solutions to the factory floor, working across manufacturing and quality engineering, controls, IT and infrastructure, facilities, and the product lines themselves.

• Deployment and Sustainment: Drive installation, acceptance testing, and operator training. Stand up the documentation, spares, and escalation paths that keep a system working, and feed recurring failures back into the team’s roadmap.

What they're looking for

• Scale the Function: Turn individual deployments into a repeatable playbook of intake, prioritization criteria, documentation templates, and deployment metrics, so the team can serve more product lines without adding a coordinator for every project.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities
• Must be eligible for a U.S. security clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, a technical field, or equivalent practical experience
