  • Deliver production outcomes as the products mature from production development to full-rate production.
  • 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:
  • Minimum 10 years in a Production leadership role within the hardware development industry with a track record of successfully scaling products from prototype to full rate production on the order of 1000s.
  • Strong ability to work cross-functionally in an unstructured, ambiguous environment. Startup experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with discrete production operations in a deeply technical industry such as aerospace, consumer electronics, medical, or automotive. Process manufacturing experience also a plus.
