Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Forward Deployed Production is Anduril’s production strike team. We are a small, elite group embedded directly in Production , Anduril’s largest, fastest-growing organization responsible for procuring, manufacturing, and delivering hardware to warfighters.

ABOUT THE JOB

You will be deployed against the most critical bottlenecks in Production , whether that’s a supplier who can’t hit rate, a manufacturing line that’s bleeding yield, a system that’s generating bad data, or a process that’s adding weeks to delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own problems end-to-end, from root cause to implemented fix.
• Go to the floor, go to the supplier, go to the warehouse.
• Attack cost and schedule relentlessly.
• Fix the systems, not just the symptoms.
• Drive decisions through data, fast.
• Wrangle stakeholders and drive accountability.
• Provide structure to chaos.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, production engineering, supply chain, management consulting, or another environment where you had to physically solve hard operational problems.
• You have been on a factory floor.
• You are fast.
• You are self-directed to an extreme degree.
• You are comfortable with hardware, physical systems, and the unglamorous details of how things get procured, manufactured, tested, and shipped.
• You have strong analytical chops.
• You are relentless about follow-through.
• You are comfortable with high visibility.
• You embrace feedback and own your weaknesses.
