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.
Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that remove manual toil from the shop floor and business operations. MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology, incubating solutions close to the production line, validating them with real operators, hardening them for reliability and security, and scaling them across sites. The environment is fast, physical, and consequential. When our systems go down, production stops. The output of our work is not a dashboard: it is a ship. MDP is scaling from a founding team to more than 70 engineers across multiple U.S. sites, and you will be joining early to shape how manufacturing software is built at Anduril.
As a Senior Product Manager for Manufacturing Software, you will own the product strategy, roadmap, and success metrics for the factory floor applications that production operators, supervisors, and manufacturing engineers rely on every shift. You will own the deployment of these products onto the factory floor, working shoulder to shoulder with the people who build ships to make sure the software earns its place in their workflow.
Product Strategy
You can “see around the corner” for your product, crafting the vision, high-level roadmap, and critical dependencies for 6 to 12 months into the future. You constantly engage with stakeholders to solicit input and buy-in, proactively communicating product goals and managing expectations for delivery. You escalate large tradeoffs and decision points as needed. You work effectively across many internal teams to synthesize their needs, but are never afraid to make important decisions as the owner of your product.
Product Prioritization
You work backward from your strategy to set clear outcomes for your portfolio in partnership with your engineering, design, and operations partners. You support team structures that allow prioritization of competing work within rapid development cycles, and you let your team flex to adapt goals when new information arrives.
Problem Discovery and Solution Generation
You become attached to problems, not solutions. You seek out real-world context through onsite user research on the factory floor, direct conversations with technicians and operators, internal expert feedback, existing product data, and industry investigation. You separate what a customer asks for from what a customer actually needs, capture core workflows, and translate them into well-scoped requirements and success hypotheses.
Product Execution
From design to delivery, you fill gaps wherever needed to make your well-scoped solutions a reality. You proactively communicate with internal team members and stakeholders, approach solutions with humility and creativity to hit milestones, and set a high bar for the product you own, including how it is deployed, adopted, and supported on the floor.
