Job description

We’re seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead development of Anduril’s Sentry Maneuver Systems platform. This role is responsible for driving execution across the complete hardware development lifecycle-from early concept development through engineering integration, prototype builds, qualification, manufacturing readiness, production, and operational deployment. Primary ownership will focus on the Mobile Sentry platform while supporting development of adjacent maneuver capabilities, including new vehicle integrations, chassis development, and lower-cost or dismounted system variants as the product family evolves.

As a Staff TPM, you’ll provide technical program leadership across multiple engineering organizations while partnering closely with Product Management, Platform Architecture, Chief Engineers, and stakeholders across Counter-Intrusion, Air Defense, Maritime, and other business lines to ensure shared platform capabilities evolve to meet diverse mission requirements. Success in this role requires balancing the priorities of multiple products, engineering teams, and customers while driving common architectures, reusable hardware solutions, and delivery of mission-ready autonomous systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Lead technical execution for the Mobile Sentry platform and related Sentry Maneuver Systems initiatives.\
  • Drive hardware development from concept through prototype, system integration, validation, production readiness, manufacturing, and deployment.
  • Partner closely with Product Managers, the Lead Platform Architect, and Chief Engineers to align platform architecture, technical execution, and product roadmaps.
  • Collaborate with Counter-Intrusion, Air Defense, Maritime, and other business line stakeholders to develop shared platform capabilities that address evolving mission requirements.
  • Coordinate execution across Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Software, Autonomy, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Reliability, Test, Quality, Product Management, and Platform Architecture teams.
  • Establish integrated development plans, technical milestones, and execution strategies across multiple concurrent development efforts.
  • Lead complex system integration activities spanning vehicle platforms, chassis, sensors, communications, compute, power systems, autonomy hardware, and mission payloads.
  • Drive engineering readiness through design reviews, prototype builds, qualification testing, manufacturing readiness, and production ramp.
  • Identify technical and programmatic risks early, develop mitigation strategies, and drive alignment across engineering and leadership teams.
  • Partner with manufacturing and suppliers to mature products for scalable production and long-term sustainment.
  • Identify opportunities to standardize and reuse hardware platforms, subsystems, and technologies across multiple products and business lines.
  • Communicate program health, technical decisions, risks, tradeoffs, and key milestones to engineering and executive leadership., 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.

Requirements

  • 8-10+ years leading complex hardware product development programs.
  • Demonstrated success delivering sophisticated electromechanical systems from concept through production.
  • Experience leading highly cross-functional engineering efforts spanning multiple hardware and software disciplines.
  • Strong understanding of systems integration, hardware development, manufacturing, validation, qualification, and production readiness.
  • Experience driving execution across multiple engineering organizations without direct management authority.
  • Proven ability to influence technical decisions and align diverse stakeholders around common objectives.
  • Experience partnering with suppliers, manufacturing organizations, and production teams throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and executive stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
