Job Description

AI Summary

• Lead digital coordination across factory software systems including MES, IoT, controls, automation, and manufacturing test teams to ensure production continuity at scale. • Require experience in manufacturing operations, factory automation, or production environments with demonstrated ability to manage complex technical integrations in live operational settings. • Drive execution and decision-making under uncertainty by identifying risks, resolving blockers, and sequencing deployments across infrastructure and systems before they impact production. • Work as primary liaison between production leadership and technical teams, translating operational needs into technical requirements and ensuring software keeps pace with physical factory operations. • Join a defense technology company transforming military capabilities with cutting-edge autonomy and AI, where this role is production-critical rather than traditional project management.

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. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM:

ArsenalOS is the software backbone that powers how Anduril designs, builds, and sustains its hardware. As our factories scale and operate at increasingly high rates, the complexity of the factory software stack is growing just as quickly.
We are not building greenfield systems in isolation. We are deploying and integrating software, infrastructure, and automation into live production environments that cannot stop.
We need a Technical Program Manager to act as the central coordination point for factory software at the site level — someone who can bring together the production system administration, digital IOT, MES, Controls, robotic automation, and manufacturing test teams and their deliverables into a single, coherent execution plan.
This is not a status-tracking role. This is a production-critical operator responsible for making sure the digital layer of the factory keeps up with the physical one.

WHAT YOU'LL YOU DO:

You will own the digital coordination layer of the factory.

Act as the primary point of contact for all factory software systems at a given site
Drive coordination across production system administration, digital IOT, MES, Controls, robotic automation, and manufacturing test teams teams
Ensure deployments are sequenced correctly across infrastructure, applications, and automation
Maintain a real-time view of site readiness, risks, and dependencies
Identify integration gaps before they impact production
Work directly with Heads of Production and Manufacturing Engineering to align software with how the factory actually operates
Push teams to resolve blockers quickly and make decisions under uncertainty

You are the person who ensures that software, infrastructure, and machines all come together to actually run the factory.

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This role is:

A site-level integrator across multiple technical domains
A driver of execution, not a passive coordinator
A translator between production needs and technical teams
A force multiplier for teams that are otherwise operating in parallel

This role is not:

A traditional project manager tracking tickets
A purely software-focused TPM
A role that waits for perfect clarity before acting

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Experience operating in complex, cross-functional environments
Strong understanding of production systems and manufacturing workflows
Ability to work across software, infrastructure, and automation domains
Comfort making decisions with incomplete information
High ownership and bias for action

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

MES / ERP / factory software systems
Industrial automation or controls environments
Deploying systems into live production settings
