Product Manager, Electromagnetic Warfare

Anduril • Costa Mesa, CA

About The Position

Anduril's Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) business line builds next-generation products — hardware-enabled, software-defined systems that are fielded, operational, and scaling fast. The EW team operates at a tempo the defense industry isn't used to: delivering novel system configurations into active operations in days, not months, securing major contract awards in under 24 hours, and earning unanimous fielding recommendations from government evaluators. Production is scaling from hundreds to thousands of units across multiple product variants, and the release and delivery challenges are scaling with it. We are looking for a Product Manager to join our rapidly growing EW team in sunny Costa Mesa, California. The Product Manager will serve as liaison within the EW business line and complement the Development, Growth, and Manufacturing teams to bridge the gaps between market demand, profitability, and factory operations. If you thrive in ambiguity, have a meticulous attention to detail, an ownership mentality, and a passion to win, this role is for you.
