  • Build strong partnerships with Engineering, Deployment Operations, and Program Management to execute success.
  • Mature products from low-rate prototypes to full-rate production by driving processes and systems as needed throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Establish and manage team to financial, quality, and on-time delivery KPIs to understand how our manufacturing operations are impacting our business.
  • Advise on development and oversee implementation of digital technologies, from PLM and ERP to our custom MES and QMS systems, that enable our production operations to efficiently scale while meeting customer requirements.
  • Be accountable to AS9100D guidelines.
  • Be a partner to Anduril’s SVP of Manufacturing for Manufacturing strategy.
Required Qualifications:
