Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Connected Warfare division builds systems for global command and control missions, and the Mission Command team operates the software and hardware backbone that powers fielded systems across the organization.
In this role, you will own the complete release and certification process for golden configurations and OS images across Anduril's fielded systems. You will establish and enforce qualification standards that builds must meet before shipping, including test coverage, regression signoff, security/compliance checks, and rollback planning. You will build and maintain the certification pipeline that qualifies both software and hardware builds for factory scaling and provisioning, working closely with manufacturing, test, and quality teams to identify and close gaps before they reach production.
Key responsibilities include: owning the release calendar and making go/no-go decisions for every release; converting one-off releases into repeatable, auditable processes while reducing manual steps and tribal knowledge; serving as the point of contact for factory and provisioning teams when releases or certifications block scaling; tracking release health across versions, branches, and fleet; reporting status, risk, and blockers to engineering and business stakeholders; and owning the tooling and documentation for the release and certification process as the fleet and product surface grow.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of software engineering, hardware manufacturing, and operational excellence. You will directly influence how quickly and reliably Anduril's systems reach the field.
**REQUIREMENTS**
Required:
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance
- 3+ years as a Technical Program Manager, release manager, or engineer owning software release or hardware qualification processes in an embedded, robotics, or systems environment
- Direct experience with OS image builds, golden configuration management, or fleet-wide software release processes
- Comfortable reading test/qualification data and making go/no-go calls under time pressure
- Experience working across engineering, manufacturing, and quality/test organizations
- Strong written communication skills; able to document a release process clearly enough that someone else could run it
Preferred:
- Experience with hardware certification or provisioning processes in a factory/manufacturing environment
- Familiarity with embedded Linux, image-based deployment, or configuration management tooling
- Experience scaling a release process from a small fleet to high-volume production
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
