Anduril Industries • Costa Mesa, CA

5d

About The Position

ABOUT THE TEAM: ArsenalOS is the software backbone that powers how Anduril designs, builds, and sustains its hardware. As our factories scale and operate at increasingly high rates, the complexity of the factory software stack is growing just as quickly. We are not building greenfield systems in isolation. We are deploying and integrating software, infrastructure, and automation into live production environments that cannot stop. We need a Technical Program Manager to act as the central coordination point for factory software at the site level — someone who can bring together the production system administration, digital IOT, MES, Controls, robotic automation, and manufacturing test teams and their deliverables into a single, coherent execution plan. This is not a status-tracking role. This is a production-critical operator responsible for making sure the digital layer of the factory keeps up with the physical one. WHAT YOU"LL YOU DO: You will own the digital coordination layer of the factory. Act as the primary point of contact for all factory software systems at a given site Drive coordination across production system administration, digital IOT, MES, Controls, robotic automation, and manufacturing test teams teams Ensure deployments are sequenced correctly across infrastructure, applications, and automation Maintain a real-time view of site readiness, risks, and dependencies Identify integration gaps before they impact production Work directly with Heads of Production and Manufacturing Engineering to align software with how the factory actually operates Push teams to resolve blockers quickly and make decisions under uncertainty You are the person who ensures that software, infrastructure, and machines all come together to actually run the factory. What This Role Is (and Isn’t) This role is: A site-level integrator across multiple technical domains A driver of execution, not a passive coordinator A translator between production needs and technical teams A force multiplier for teams that are otherwise operating in parallel This role is not: A traditional project manager tracking tickets A purely software-focused TPM A role that waits for perfect clarity before acting
