Senior Technical Program Manager, Hardware Robotics, Air Dominance & Strike
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. The Air Dominance and Strike Division is one of Anduril’s fastest growing, most technically complex divisions. We develop and build collaborative combat aircraft, missiles, and the software that powers these autonomous weapons. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead one of our development programs across various stages of the contract lifecycle from early R&D to contract capture and close. Success in this position hinges on three key facets: Systems and engineering mindset - the ability to understand and assess technical concepts. Execution focused - digging into the details, charting the path and owning the outcome. Collaborative partnership - managing customer relationships and shaping the future of the program with the government. What You'll Do : In partnership with the Chief Engineer, own the development and deployment of Anduril’s Air Dominance & Strike technologies to meet the operational needs of the Department of Defense. Develop strong, trusting relationships with Anduril’s DOD customers, ensuring we have tight feedback loops that enable us shape solutions, rapidly iterate, and ultimately field solutions faster. 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 5 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. US Salary Range: $166,000—$220,000 USD. Benefits : Platinum Healthcare Benefits: For U.S. roles, we offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you. Basic Life/AD&D and long-term disability insurance 100% covered by Anduril, plus the option to purchase additional life insurance for you and your dependents. Extremely generous company holiday calendar including a holiday hiatus in December, and highly competitive PTO plans. 16 weeks of paid Caregiver & Wellness Leave to care for a family member, bond with your baby, or tend to your own medical condition.

Mental Health Resources: We provide free mental health resources 24/7 including therapy, life coaching, and more. A professional development stipend is available to all Andurilians. Company-funded commuter benefits available based on your region. Relocation assistance (depending on role eligibility). 401(k) retirement savings plan - both a traditional and Roth 401(k).
