## Description

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

The Sentry product line is Anduril's family of land-based situational awareness platforms , modular systems integrating power, structure, robotics, sensors, compute, and communications.

We're seeking a hands-on, technically fluent Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the hardware development and maturation of our Sentry platform from concept through scaled production.

**Responsibilities**

- Lead hardware product development across core subsystems and full system integration into high-performance, mission-critical autonomous platforms.

- Partner with engineering leads to plan, execute, and deliver design, build, and test milestones through production readiness.

- Drive design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA), supplier engagement, and hand-off to manufacturing and supply chain teams.

- Manage prototype builds, integration events, and system-level validation and reliability testing.

- Own risk management and schedule execution for hardware deliverables; escalate blockers and drive resolution.

- Work directly with production, test, and quality to ensure systems meet reliability, qualification, and sustainment requirements (MIL-STD experience preferred).

- Support field deployments and test events to gather feedback, debug issues, and identify improvement opportunities.

- Establish lightweight, repeatable processes to improve team velocity and predictability without sacrificing agility.

- Communicate status, risks, and decisions to engineering, product, and program stakeholders clearly and confidently.

**Required Qualifications**

- 5–10+ years experience driving hardware product development and system integration in robotics, defense, aerospace, automotive, or industrial systems.

- Proven track record taking electromechanical systems from prototype through production and sustainment.

- Strong technical fluency in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering domains (power systems, sensors, mechatronics, or robotics).

- Deep familiarity with manufacturing processes, DFM/DFA, BOM management, and supplier readiness.

- Experience with qualification, reliability, and environmental testing (e.g., MIL-STD, DO-160, automotive validation).

- Hands-on mindset , comfortable on the build floor or at test events, not just in meetings.

- Exceptional ability to manage cross-functional execution and communicate clearly across disciplines.

- Bias for action; thrives in a startup-like, fast-moving environment with incomplete information.

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or related Engineering field (advanced degree preferred).

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Background in sensor integration (EO/IR, radar, GPS, or similar).

- Prior work in defense, autonomy, or mission-critical systems.

- Familiarity with hardware-software co-development and system-level integration testing.

- Experience leading small technical teams or mentoring junior TPMs.

**Benefits**

- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.

- Income Protection: Life and disability insurance.

- Generous time off: Highly competitive PTO plans.

- Family Planning & Parenting Support: Coverage for fertility treatments, adoption, and gestational carriers.

- Mental Health Resources: Access free mental health resources 24/7.

- Professional Development: Annual reimbursement for professional development.

- Commuter Benefits: Company-funded commuter benefits.

- Retirement Savings Plan: Traditional 401(k), Roth, and after-tax options.
