Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Technical Program Manager, Manufacturing - **Company:** Anduril Industries - **Location:** Ashville, OH, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $160,000.0 - $220,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Discrete Event Simulation, Operational Data Store, Scripting, Software Version Control - **Published:** July 18, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.clearancejobs.com/jobs/9040520/senior-technical-program-manager-manufacturing ## About the Role * 5+ years in technical program management, manufacturing engineering, or operations analysis in complex hardware production environments * Demonstrated ability to build program mechanisms and systems from scratch in environments without established playbooks * Strong quantitative skills: experience with capacity modeling, discrete event simulation, process capability analysis, or equivalent analytical methods * Technical depth in manufacturing processes sufficient to challenge engineering priorities and validate approaches * Experience driving outcomes through coordination rather than direct authority over engineering teams * Proficiency with scripting, version control, and scalable data workflows * Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance * Lean Six Sigma certification or equivalent demonstrated application of structured problem solving and statistical methods to manufacturing performance improvement * Experience in aerospace, defense, or autonomous systems manufacturing environments * Proficiency with Palantir Foundry, discrete event simulation tools (Arena, FlexSim, or equivalent), or custom analytics stacks * Background in operations research, industrial engineering, or data science applied to manufacturing * Experience scaling manufacturing operations from prototype to rate production * Familiarity with complex electromechanical assembly, avionics integration, or composite manufacturing processes ## Description * Analytical depth - You use capacity modeling, discrete event simulation, and process capability analysis to see what is coming before it arrives. * Pragmatic technical judgment - you are technical enough to challenge manufacturing engineering, pragmatic enough to know when good enough is the right call, and disciplined enough to hold the financial line. * Own the program-level outcomes of manufacturing engineering execution through schedule performance, cost performance, and trajectory toward rate readiness * Build the processes and mechanisms that make OEE, yield, and throughput visible, actionable, and tied to program-level financial performance * Coordinate with manufacturing engineers to ensure the right problems are prioritized against schedule and cost targets * Use capacity modeling and discrete event simulation to forecast constraints, validate investment decisions, and inform production planning * Translate operational data into program decisions that keep schedule and cost on track * Drive accountability for manufacturing engineering outcomes without directing the engineering work itself * Build leading indicator systems that enable early intervention before manufacturing issues become schedule slips * Own schedule and cost performance of manufacturing engineering initiatives, ensuring effort maps to results * Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders * Build and maintain reliable analysis pipelines using version control, scripting, and scalable workflows, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates. ## Related Videos - [JavaScript?
