ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company on a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities. By applying the technology and business model of today’s most innovative companies to defense, we are changing how military systems are designed, built, and sold—powered by Lattice OS, our AI-driven operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command-and-control center. Our Imaging business line designs and builds advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems—cameras, sensors, and payloads—that power persistent surveillance, air defense, and precision targeting.

Experience tracing work orders, bills of material, and standard costs through manufacturing and ERP systems to understand how production flows onto the P L is a plus.
