Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Program Manager for Quality System Site Engagement to lead enterprise-wide quality management system (QMS) alignment across multiple manufacturing, engineering, and operational sites. This role serves as the central coordination point between corporate Quality and distributed site teams, ensuring all facilities operate under a unified, AS9100/ISO 9001-compliant quality framework as the company scales. Key responsibilities include: • Owning the cross-site QMS alignment strategy to ensure consistent quality management system implementation across all Anduril facilities, supporting enterprise-wide certification and customer audit readiness. • Conducting structured site assessments and quality maturity evaluations across manufacturing, engineering, and field operations to identify gaps, risks, and standardization opportunities. • Developing and maintaining a site risk register that tracks quality system risks by location, mitigation actions, and provides leadership visibility into enterprise quality health. • Serving as the primary liaison between corporate Quality and site quality teams, facilitating regular engagement cadences, best-practice sharing, and escalation pathways. • Leading rollout of new or revised QMS processes, procedures, and policies across sites, managing implementation timelines, stakeholder communication, and adoption verification. • Partnering with Internal Audit, Supplier Quality, and Compliance teams to coordinate audit schedules, align corrective action processes, and ensure consistent resolution across the enterprise. • Defining and reporting on enterprise quality metrics and KPIs—nonconformance trends, corrective action closure rates, audit findings by site—to drive data-informed leadership decisions. • Building and maintaining governance frameworks for QMS document control across sites, including process ownership models, revision workflows, and harmonized document hierarchies. • Traveling up to 50% to Anduril sites for assessments, process rollouts, and stakeholder engagement. Required: 8–12 years in quality management, quality systems, or quality program management within aerospace, defense, or highly regulated industries. Deep working knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, and aerospace/defense quality standards. Proven track record conducting quality system assessments, gap analyses, and internal audits. Strong program management skills coordinating cross-functional, multi-site initiatives. Excellent communication and influencing skills to build credibility and drive alignment across site leaders, engineers, and executives without direct authority.
