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.
ABOUT THE SITE
Anduril, a leader in autonomous systems and weapons manufacturing, is building Arsenal-1, its first hyper-scale manufacturing facility, just south of Columbus, Ohio in Pickaway County. Arsenal-1 is redefining the scale and speed at which autonomous systems and weapons can be produced for the United States and its allies and partners. This is a monumental and essential step toward rebuilding America's defense industrial base, strengthening America's warfighting capabilities, and enhancing deterrence amid rising international threats.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) is the team at Anduril responsible for producing the family of autonomous air vehicles and precision effects that define the modern fight, including Fury, Barracuda, and RoadRunner, as well as a wide array of emerging capabilities. New adversaries and the new economics of warfare demand mass, and our products are rapidly scaling in production to deliver the volumes our customers need. You will own one of these products in production and drive its production ramp, from rapidly maturing prototypes through full-rate production at scale. Your work will help change the balance of defense capabilities on a global scale. This team will have the opportunity to train under our world-class manufacturing team at Anduril HQ in Costa Mesa, CA for three months before bringing that standard of excellence back to Ohio.
ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking a Manufacturing Operations Manager to join our growing team supporting Arsenal-1. Here you will work on cutting-edge technology aimed at advancing the state of the possible. The Manufacturing Operations Manager will manage a team of highly talented technicians producing multiple platforms of hardware for strategic military customers, reporting to the Director of Manufacturing Operations for AD&S. This is a highly dynamic role that requires both frontline technical and people-management skills. This role is at the forefront of delivering exceptional customer outcomes, fostering team development, and overseeing day-to-day production and delivery operations. Success in this role demands consistent achievement across hardware production, team management, manufacturing operations, and financial goals.
The ideal candidate has experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) and the technical acumen to communicate effectively across the floor and with engineering. We are looking for a highly organized, self-motivated individual who is energetic, deeply committed to scaling innovative products, and passionate about driving transformative change. While we value strong individual contributions, teamwork is crucial to success here, and to maintaining our Anduril culture above all.
This role will be based at Arsenal-01 in Columbus, OH, and may require candidates to relocate to Costa Mesa, CA for a three-month training program. Housing, transportation, and related costs will be provided during your stay.
