About The Position

ABOUT THE ROLE Anduril is scaling production across multiple hardware programs, and our Costa Mesa facility is at the center. We’re looking for a Lead Production Recruiter who can drive high-volume hiring and operate as a strategic partner to senior leadership. You’ll run the recruiting engine for your Production Division while also delivering data-driven insights, talent forecasts, and hiring strategies that shape operational decisions. (You will be part executor, part mentor, part humble problem solver, part reporting guru.) This is a high-impact role with direct visibility to Directors, VPs, and cross-functional leaders across Manufacturing, Engineering, and Program teams.

Requirements

• 6+ years of recruiting experience, including 3+ years hiring for manufacturing, production, aerospace, automotive, or hardware environments.
• Proven ability to deliver high-volume hiring aligned to production schedules and shift expansions.
• Strong data fluency: confident with dashboards, funnel analytics, forecasting, reporting, and presenting insights to senior-level stakeholders.
• Experience building and owning hiring metrics: conversion rates, capacity modeling, hiring velocity, and headcount tracking.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence Directors, VPs, and cross-functional leaders.
• Deep understanding of assembly, integration, test, quality, and material flow within a factory environment.
• Ability to assess technician-level candidates with precision and consistency.
• High ownership and comfort operating in fast-changing, ambiguity-heavy environments.
• Self-sufficient, organized, and comfortable managing many roles at once.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end recruiting for Production, Planning, Materials, and Manufacturing Ops roles across multiple shifts and sites for specific business lines.
• Partner deeply with Production leaders to understand build schedules, takt-time demands, labor models, and skill requirements.
• Build and deliver weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting on pipeline health, time-to-fill, funnel metrics, aging, candidate quality, and bottlenecks.
• Present hiring status, risks, and mitigation plans to senior leadership with clear reasoning, data visualization, and operational context.
• Source, evaluate, and close top-tier manufacturing talent (techs through supervisors), balancing speed with quality.
• Embed yourself on the floor to understand production workflows, certification needs, and technician skill progression.
• Serve as a strategic advisor on competitive compensation, talent availability, and feasibility for upcoming ramp cycles.
• Maintain pristine ATS data hygiene and rigorously track all funnel movements across multiple roles and shifts.
• Own the candidate experience and ensure alignment with Anduril’s culture of urgency, ownership, and mission.
