About the Role

<div class="content-intro">Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is 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 realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.</div>ABOUT THE TEAM: ArsenalOS is the software backbone that powers how Anduril designs, builds, and sustains its hardware. As our factories scale and operate at increasingly high rates, the complexity of the factory software stack is growing just as quickly. We are not building greenfield systems in isolation. We are deploying and integrating software, infrastructure, and automation into live production environments that cannot stop. We need a Technical Program Manager to act as the central coordination point for factory software at the site level — someone who can bring together the production system administration, digital IOT, MES, Controls, robotic automation, and manufacturing test teams and their deliverables into a single, coherent execution plan. This is not a status-tracking role. This is a production-critical operator responsible for making sure the digital layer of the factory keeps up with the physical one.
