Senior Technical Program Manager, Mission Autonomy, Air Dominance and Strike - Active Clearance

Anduril Industries•Washington, DC

About The Position

As an AD&S Program Manager, you will lead the development and/or integration of Anduril products and technologies with various government and industry partners. These projects will be diverse in nature and require you to be organized and flexible to adapt to changing situations. On one project, you may be working with the customer to clarify how each of its mission requirements can be met through Anduril's core products, including the plan, scope, and work required. In another situation, you may be helping to craft a vision with the customer or participating in technical working groups with a collaborative set of engineers to transform that vision into an operational reality. During all this, you must be able to successfully work with both external and internal stakeholders, communicate plans clearly to all parties, and support and coordinate across teams to achieve the desired end state. Success in this position also hinges on two key facets: 1) systems and engineering mindset- the ability to understand and assess technical concepts- identifying system dependencies, interfaces, technical risks and the impact of key architectural decisions with the engineering team is a must; and 2) an execution mindset- digging into the details, charting the path and owning the outcome. You will be expected to utilize your technical aptitude in conjunction with your program and project management skills to deliver the best outcome for Anduril and the customer. We are seeking an experienced Program Manager (PM) with prior training and experience in a relevant engineering field to plan, direct, and lead internal and external program activities. The PM will lead day-to-day coordination and execution of program initiatives and tasks - working alongside the Chief Engineer to meet the program’s administrative, technical, and operational requirements.
