  • Autonomously execute on broad and / or ambiguous requirements from internal engineering, customers, and third party corporate partners to own successful delivery of outcomes on multiple programs simultaneously
  • Monitor and manage program progress across cost, schedule, and resource allocation, making tradeoffs that enable us to deliver best-in-class solutions to our customers on-time and on-budget
  • Develop and implement lightweight processes, tools, and metrics for program planning, scope management, risk management, and customer communication to enable Anduril to move rapidly
  • Be high ownership on all pieces of work and become a trusted partner and advisor to Anduril’s engineers
  • Foster a creative, high-performance culture within the team, and proactively assess team skills versus needs, identifying personnel development or recruitment opportunities to strengthen the team’s capabilities
  • Collaborate with finance and business development teams to develop novel pricing strategies for proposals that set Anduril up for long term financial and operational success
  • Collaborate with senior management to develop and refine the strategic roadmap for Anduril Air Dominance & Strike R&D investments that underpin the success of our programs

    • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field (technical background preferred)
  • Minimum of 8 years experience managing the development of complex technical systems throughout the product lifecycle
  • Proven track record of successfully managing complex, multi-million-dollar projects and driving their on-time, on-budget completion
  • Strong strategic thinking, analytical, and problem-solving abilities with the ability to move seamlessly between tactical and the 30,000 ft level
  • Experience coordinating multiple internal and external teams within a complex engineering or technology-focused organization
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely to diverse audiences

    • Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including Platinum Healthcare Benefits, Basic Life / AD&D and long-term disability insurance, and extremely generous company holiday calendar. The salary range for this role is $182,000 - $309,000 USD.
