Engineering Solutions Technical Program Manager

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Andurils 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.
