Engineering Solutions Technical Program Manager

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s hardware enterprise. It connects the full lifecycle, from concept to build to field feedback, into one operating environment built for speed, traceability, autonomy, and continuous improvement. That environment includes not just the software used to design, plan, and execute work, but also the factory-facing infrastructure that connects operators, machines, test systems, and OT networks into the same adaptive Build Chain. It is not a support function, but rather a strategic investment by Anduril that the operating system of the hardware lifecycle is how we win. It will be one of the mechanisms by which Anduril out-builds, out-adapts, and out-scales the traditional defense industrial base. We are looking for a Engineering Solutions Application Engineer to work with our team of developers and partner with cross functional teams across the company to develop customizations, optimize workflows and ensure engineering tools do not limit the speed of engineering design.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You don't just know how to use the tools—you know the tips, tricks, and workarounds that make engineers 10x more productive

You get energy from helping others succeed and light up when someone has that "aha moment" during training

You create training content that people actually want to use because it's clear, practical, and solves real problems

You form recommendations based on deep experimentation and hands-on testing, not just what the manual says

When you discover a better way, you change course quickly and update your recommendations without ego

You seek feedback from users and iterate on your processes based on real-world results

You understand how data moves through our various downstream systems and optimize data flow

You are able to identify overlapping capabilities and optimize for global organization.

You will work with a high-functioning team of engineers in various cross functional teams with an emphasis on identifying and finishing business-critical projects

You will help troubleshoot technical issues including those related with deployment, configuration and ongoing support

REQUIRED CHARACTERISTICS:

Anduril is an extremely fast-paced defense technology startup that is rapidly scaling itself. Our culture is one of ambition, hard work, relentless pursuit of excellence, and deliberate disruption. The successful candidate will be one who demonstrates the follow core characteristics:

Bias for Action - they ask for forgiveness, not permission, and hate the idea of waiting around to be told what to do

Outcome-Oriented - they determine what benefits the business needs and work backwards from those outcomes. The antiquated IT concept of “system availability” is abhorrent to the ideal candidate, they care about if the business actually got value from their product, not if it was just made to specification

Customer Focused - they display user empathy to boost engagement and build experiences that delight

Strong Product Sense - they know when in the product’s lifecycle to focus on optimizing the end user experience and when to focus on enterprise-level functionality

Dive Deep - they sweat the details and roll up their sleeves to uncover the root causes for systemic issues, be it technical shortfalls or lack of user comprehension of a product

Ownership - they care deeply not just about their products, but for all the business outcomes that their systems supports as well, holding themselves accountable for everything it both does and fails to do

Agility - they change directions easily and without regret, quickly adapting to shifting business priorities

First Principles Thinking - they approach problems and develop solutions not based on what a vendor recommends or because it’s how they did things at their last job, but from a deep appreciation of what is best for the enterprise

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

You have 5+ years of experience in a design engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment

You hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering or related technical field (or equivalent education/work experience)

You prioritize solutions that deliver immediate value to engineers over perfect but complex a…
