Senior Technical Program Manager

About the role

Core Technology is the engineering backbone of Anduril's hardware platforms — the shared systems, components, and infrastructure that power products across every division. The team develops and sustains the critical electromechanical systems, drive systems, propulsion, actuation, and embedded electronics that make Anduril's autonomous systems work.

We're looking for a Sr. Technical Program Manager to own the planning, execution, and delivery of hardware development programs within Core Tech. You'll be the connective tissue between design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test, and operations - driving complex electromechanical products from concept through production. You'll work directly with engineering leads to build roadmaps, track milestones, manage risks, and make sure the right teams are engaged at the right time. If you've driven hardware programs and want to do it at startup speed on systems that matter, this is the role.

Responsibilities

• Represent and help build your program’s culture. As the liaison to the engineering development organization you are well positioned to consistently interact with all teams at Anduril and often will be tasked to represent the program in a cross‑functional capacity. You should be knowledgeable of not only the current state of the program, but also the various technical and operational factors which define the product architecture and overall vision.
• Establish key milestones and targets from across the organization to help define the product roadmap. This requires an in‑depth understanding of what teams are affected by the various stages of your program’s engineering development. You ensure that teams are engaged at the right time and at the right maturity stage to be successful. The roadmap you help develop becomes the guide for your program that organizations reference and plan around.
• Evaluate and prioritize the various tasks required to successfully support the program development efforts. Be prepared to help drive to the best decision for the program and company. This should be a data‑driven approach, incorporating inputs from all stakeholders to ensure the decision is well informed and executable.
• Execute a variety of tasks to keep the program on track, filling gaps to de‑risk the roadmap as needed.
• Communicate engineering strategy and vision to technical stakeholders to manage expectations. Ensure all risks are noted and addressed with adequate time and resources to keep things on track.
• Work closely with teams including, but not
