10d

About The Position

ArsenalOS is Anduril's unified production systems platform, serving as the digital backbone for manufacturing operations including PLM, MES, WMS, and supply chain systems. The team is focused on building modern, integrated solutions to scale hardware production with software velocity, aiming to create a seamless product lifecycle experience where design changes propagate efficiently, production issues are immediately surfaced, and field data influences future product builds. The goal is to transform the Build Chain into a continuous learning system. This role involves developing critical Teamcenter customizations and integrations, while also managing the underlying database and infrastructure for the PLM platform. The engineer will build custom ITK services, SOA integrations, Active Workspace extensions, workflows, and enterprise integrations with CAD, ERP, MES, manufacturing, and engineering systems. Responsibilities also include installing, configuring, tuning, patching, and upgrading Teamcenter and its database, ensuring performance, managing backups and recovery, high availability, monitoring, and disaster-recovery readiness. The position requires a candidate who views application development, database administration, and platform reliability as interconnected components of a single system. Collaboration with engineering teams to resolve product data, BOM, change management, and configuration management challenges, ensuring reliable enterprise-scale operation, is key. The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, and combines strong software engineering principles with disciplined Teamcenter and database administration, taking ownership from design to production operations, troubleshooting complex issues, and automating tasks using scripting and CI/CD practices. The team values technical depth, operational excellence, ownership, clean architecture, and pragmatic execution.
