Job description

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Sentry product line is Anduril’s family of land-based situational awareness platforms — modular systems integrating power, structure, robotics, sensors, compute, and communications. These systems are deployed globally to deliver 24/7 force protection, border security, and domain awareness for our customers.

ABOUT THE JOB

We’re seeking a hands-on, technically fluent Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the hardware development and maturation of our Sentry platform from concept through scaled production.

This role bridges capability, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain—ensuring our designs evolve from prototype to field-ready products with the reliability, quality, and repeatability required for mission success. The ideal candidate has deep experience in hardware product development and system integration, thrives in ambiguous environments, and loves building systems that ship.

You’ll partner with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers; drive integration of sensors and electromechanical subsystems; and ensure a smooth transition from engineering to production. You’ll also serve as the primary POC between the product team and internal business lines, balancing customer urgency with disciplined execution.

This isn’t a coordination job — it’s an opportunity to build and scale real, deployable systems that protect lives and reshape defense operations. You’ll be part of a small, high-ownership team that works at the intersection of engineering execution and product impact, ensuring that cutting-edge autonomous platforms move from the lab to the field — fast, reliable, and at scale.
