This role is integral to Anduril's supply chain, with responsibility for material flow throughout the entire value chain—from raw materials to finished goods shipped to customers. You will own certain assemblies and product lines, and be ultimately responsible for sending accurate signals to Purchasing and Manufacturing on what and when to buy or build.
In this position, you will manage day-to-day demand signaling, ordering, and inventory for various product lines. You'll identify and resolve supply issues by collaborating closely with Engineering, Purchasing, and Manufacturing teams. You will lead Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) discussions for Supply Planning on designated product lines and work with Business Development and Growth teams to align forecasts with actual demand plans. You'll report on and analyze supply and material health to inform key decisions across Engineering, Purchasing, Manufacturing, and Business Development. Additionally, you will develop and maintain processes within MRP systems and associated master data, and drive strategic initiatives toward best practices including demand shaping, advanced modeling, and inventory optimization.
Anduril's mission is to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. The company brings 21st-century expertise, technology, and business models to the defense industry, changing how military systems are designed, built, and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center.
The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, resource-limited environments and demonstrates ownership in solving complex operational challenges with creative solutions.
