About the Team

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 currently scaling production of a first-of-kind autonomous aircraft at Arsenal 1 in Ohio. Manufacturing engineering drives process development and optimization within this high-stakes environment.

About the Role

This role is designed for a leader who owns program-level outcomes and the mechanisms that make those outcomes repeatable and improvable. You will build the systems that make Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), yield, and throughput visible, tying them directly to cost and driving the right priorities at the right time. Success in this position hinges on three key facets: prioritizing outcomes over activity, applying deep analytical rigor through capacity modeling and simulation, and exercising pragmatic technical judgment to challenge engineering priorities while holding the financial line.

You will serve as the bridge between manufacturing engineering execution and program success. Your day will involve coordinating with engineers to ensure the right problems are prioritized against schedule and cost targets, using discrete event simulation to forecast constraints, and translating operational data into program decisions. You will drive accountability for manufacturing engineering outcomes without directing the engineering work itself, building leading indicator systems that enable early intervention before issues become schedule slips. Ultimately, you will ensure that manufacturing engineering effort maps directly to results, preparing technical documentation and analysis reports for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders.
