Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops autonomous systems powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers. Anduril brings cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to military applications.
The Core Technology team serves as the engineering backbone of Anduril's hardware platforms, developing and sustaining critical electromechanical systems, drive systems, propulsion, actuation, and embedded electronics that power autonomous systems across all divisions.
As Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own the planning, execution, and delivery of hardware development programs within Core Tech. You will serve as the connective tissue between design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test, and operations, driving complex electromechanical products from concept through production. Working directly with engineering leads, you will build roadmaps, track milestones, manage risks, and ensure the right teams are engaged at the right time.
Key responsibilities include:
- Representing and building your program's culture as the liaison to the engineering development organization, interacting consistently with all teams and representing the program in cross-functional capacities
- Establishing key milestones and targets from across the organization to define the product roadmap, ensuring teams are engaged at the right time and maturity stage
- Evaluating and prioritizing tasks required to support program development efforts, driving data-driven decisions informed by all stakeholders
- Executing various tasks to keep the program on track and de-risk the roadmap
- Communicating engineering strategy and vision to technical stakeholders, managing expectations and addressing risks with adequate time and resources
- Working closely with design engineering, finance, logistics, EHS, manufacturing, supply chain, engineering testing, legal, technical operations, business strategy/programs, and production teams
This role offers the opportunity to drive hardware programs at startup speed on systems that matter for national defense.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years as a Technical Program Manager driving hardware or integrated product development projects
- Demonstrated experience managing or significantly contributing to the product development lifecycle of complex electromechanical systems, including motors, actuators, drive systems, gears, bearings, gearboxes, PCBAs, sensors, and engines
- 5+ years' experience in mechanical systems hardware with emphasis on drive systems, turbojet engines, or electromechanical assemblies as part of integrated product development
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Aptitude for working with internal and external stakeholders across a wide range of technical areas
- Comfort working with data and complex analyses
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with or interest in working with visual design tools to communicate ideas
- Technical familiarity with the unique design considerations, manufacturing processes, and integration challenges associated with high-performance drive systems and motion control components
- Understanding of power electronics, sensing, and control systems relevant to modern actuation and drive solutions
- A keen eye for technological advancements in the areas listed above
