## Description

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

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to own engineering execution across a portfolio of concurrent counter-UAS programs.

## Responsibilities

- Integrated Engineering Schedule: Build and own one engineering schedule across every active program, tied to contract milestones, test events, and hardware lead times.

- Milestone Review Readiness: Drive SRR, PDR, CDR, and test readiness reviews end to end.

- Partner and Subcontractor Execution: Own the technical deliverable tracking for subcontractors and integration partners.

- Operating Rhythm: Run the team's recurring program syncs so engineering leadership can step out of them.

- Staffing and Allocation: Own the team's allocation picture across programs.

- Upward and Customer Reporting: Produce the weekly program roll-up for engineering and business leadership, and support customer-facing status.

- Proposals and Estimates: Support labor build-ups, ROMs, and schedules for new task orders.

- Test Event Execution: Plan and coordinate logistics, people, hardware, and readiness for field and range test events.

## Requirements

- 5+ years in technical program management, systems engineering, or engineering roles on hardware/software defense, aerospace, or robotics programs

- Proven track record running DoD-style milestone reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR/TRR) or an equivalent gated engineering process

- Experience managing subcontractor or partner technical deliverables, including holding partners accountable to schedule and scope

- Experience managing multiple concurrent programs or workstreams with shared people and hardware

- Technical depth to understand system architectures, interface documents, test plans, and the software development lifecycle well enough to challenge estimates and spot risk

- Strong written communication: you can turn a messy week into a one-page roll-up a general manager reads in two minutes

- Comfortable with ambiguity and minimal structure; you build the process instead of waiting for one

- Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance

- Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time

## Preferred Qualifications

- Active Secret or higher clearance

- Experience with SOCOM, special operations, or other rapid-acquisition customers

- Counter-UAS, air defense, sensors, or C2 integration experience

- Experience supporting proposals, labor build-ups, and basis of estimates for task orders

- Experience at a fast-moving defense or hardware startup alongside traditional primes

- Hands-on with Jira, Confluence, Airtable, or similar tools, and the discipline to keep them accurate

- Bachelor's degree in an engineering or technical discipline

## Benefits

- Competitive salary: $167,000-$222,000 USD

- Comprehensive benefits package
