Senior Technical Program Manager Lethality Team

The Lethality Team develops and tests advanced warhead and munitions systems for multiple Anduril platforms. We work across the full hardware lifecyclefrom early concepts and rapid prototypes to system testing and production turning evolving mission needs into field-ready capability.

Our programs move quickly span multiple engineering and operational teams and rarely follow a perfectly linear path. Success requires clear priorities disciplined execution and someone who can keep the larger system moving while technical teams solve hard engineering problems.

Anduril is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead cross-functional execution across a portfolio of warhead-development programs. You will connect the Energetics Team with vehicle programs and translate changing requirements schedules quantities and priorities into clear and executable plans.

You will own the program structure that allows engineers to remain focused on technical work: aligning stakeholders maintaining integrated schedules tracking requirements and dependencies surfacing risks early and driving decisions to closure. Your programs may range from early concepts seeking funding to mature products preparing to deliver thousands of units.

This is a hardware-focused role for someone who understands how design procurement fabrication integration testing and production depend on one another. You do not need to be a warhead designer. You do need the technical judgment to ask the right questions recognize downstream consequences and keep multiple teams moving toward a shared outcome.

• Lead program execution across multiple warhead-development efforts from early concept and prototype work through testing and production transition.
• Build and maintain integrated plans that connect scope schedules requirements resources costs technical dependencies risks and decision points.
• Serve as the primary program interface between the Energetics Team and Anduril vehicle teams aligning what must be delivered when it is needed how many units are required and what changes affect the plan.
• Track requirements across platform and warhead teams identify gaps or conflicts and drive the right owners toward timely resolution.
• Translate evolving technical work into clear priorities milestones tradeoffs and commitments for engineering and program stakeholders.
• Anticipate hardware-development constraintsincluding supplier lead times fabrication inspection integration test readiness and production capacityand incorporate them into realistic schedules.
• Keep rapid prototypes and risk-reduction testing connected to defined program questions delivery milestones and broader product outcomes.
• Partner with engineering Product Test and Evaluation Safety Supply Chain Manufacturing Production and program teams to resolve dependencies and maintain alignment.
• Surface schedule resource requirements and execution risks early; frame options and drive decisions before they become delivery failures.
• Create clear program communications engineering documentation schedules cost estimates risk summaries and decision records for technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Lead post-test and post-milestone reviews that convert lessons learned into accountable actions and improved execution.
• Help establish practical program-management methods for the growing Energetics portfolio and mentor less-experienced program leaders as the team expands.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8 years experience leading complex hardware-development programs or major workstreams through multiple lifecycle stages such as concept development prototyping procurement fabrication integration testing or production.
• Experience coordinating several concurrent programs stakeholder groups or subsystem teams in a fast-moving R&D or new-product-development environment.
• Working knowledge of hardware-development and manufacturing timelines with the ability to identify dependencies build credible schedules and anticipate downstream risks.
• Experience aligning technical requirements schedules resources risks and deliverables across teams without relying on direct authority.
• Evidence of bringing structure to ambiguous programs adapting the level of process to the work and driving decisions and commitments to closure.
• Ability to communicate technical and program information clearly through written updates visual plans reviews and direct stakeholder conversations.
• Experience preparing engineering or program documentation project schedules and cost estimates.
• Ability to travel for program reviews testing and customer or partner meetings including surges up to 25%.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience leading hardware programs in defense aerospace space systems robotics automotive advanced manufacturing consumer hardware or another high-consequence technical environment.
• Experience supporting munitions ordnance energetics weapons integration or other complex electromechanical systems.
• Experience managing programs across the full lifecycle from early R&D through production readiness or scaled delivery.
• Familiarity with requirements tracking configuration or change management verification planning and risk-reduction testing.
• Experience working with suppliers long-lead hardware manufacturing constraints and production ramp decisions.
• Active U.S. security clearance including DoD Secret or Top Secret or DOE L or Q.
• Familiarity with Jira Microsoft Project Confluence or similar planning and collaboration tools.
