Senior Technical Program Manager, Connected Warfare (Active Clearance)
Anduril Industries · Costa Mesa, CA · 3 wk ago
Project Management$166k–$208k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Job" then description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content.
We have content: About the role: there is description about Anduril, mission, etc. That's "About The Job". So we can put
About the role
thenwith that description (maybe combine paragraphs). Should we include the repeated first paragraph? The posting repeats some lines; we need preserve all substantive info, not duplicate lines? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate. Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" bullet list. We'll put
Responsibilities
then- each duty.
Requirements/Qualifications: There's "Required Qualifications" list. Also "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements section? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications separate if content exists. Required Qualifications is a list; Preferred Qualifications also list. We could put Required Qualifications under
Requirements
and Preferred Qualifications underQualifications
. Or maybe combine. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. Both exist. Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from required qualifications but not explicit separate skills section. Better to omit Skills if no explicit content. Benefits: There's a Benefits section describing benefits. So includeBenefits
with- items.
Pay: There's US Salary Range $166,000—$208,000 USD. Also note about salary range estimate. So we can include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: Not mentioned (no schedule info). So omit Schedule.
Also need to include maybe "About the role" includes the mission description. We'll need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, scam warnings, data privacy, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from required qualifications, preferred qualifications, responsibilities, benefits, pay, about the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract substantive content.
About the role: The posting starts with "Anduril Industries is a defense technology company..." repeated twice. We need to combine without duplication.
Let's read the first paragraph: "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. 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."
Second paragraph (under About The Job): repeats similar but slightly different: "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 real-time, 3D command and control center and transforms our hardware into state-of-the-art autonomous systems. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy to the military in months, not years."
Then description of AES team etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info, so we should include both paragraphs but avoid duplicate sentences. The first paragraph mentions AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, networking technology. Second paragraph mentions Lattice OS, transforms hardware into autonomous systems, and only autonomy. We should keep both distinct details.
Thus we can combine: start with mission sentence, then mention expertise etc, then mention Lattice OS, then mention AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, networking technology, then mention commitment to autonomy, then description of AES team and its purpose.
Let's craft a concise paragraph that includes all.
Now Responsibilities: list from "What You'll Do". Let's extract each bullet:
- Own the full program lifecycle for assigned AES hardware programs — from NPI and prototype builds through low-rate and full-rate production — with accountability for schedule, cost, and scope performance.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive program plans, integrated master schedules, budgets, risk registers, and stakeholder communications, ensuring all artifacts reflect ground truth at all times.
- Define program execution strategy, including phase gate criteria, acceptance frameworks, build plans, and production transition roadmaps.
- Lead cross-functional program teams spanning engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, and operations — aligning priorities, resolving conflicts, and driving accountability at every level.
- Identify, assess, and actively mitigate program risks before they become schedule or cost impacts; escalate clearly and decisively when they do.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and external customers — delivering clear, credible program status and representing AES with confidence in program reviews, CDRs, and customer engagements.
- Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to drive production scaling plans, capacity investments, and make/buy decisions that support program commitments.
- Drive continuous improvement in program execution rigor, establishing repeatable processes and tools that scale across the AES portfolio.
- Mentor and develop Program Coordinators and junior TPMs, building the program management capability of the broader AES team.
Also earlier sentences: "As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will own end-to-end program execution for one or more hardware programs within AES — from early development through production scaling. You are the single accountable owner for schedule, cost, and scope across your program, and the primary interface between the program team, senior leadership, and external stakeholders. You will drive decisions, not just surface them.This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in hardware development who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level — able to define a program roadmap one hour and resolve a supply chain blocker the next."
We should include those as responsibilities too. Could incorporate as bullets or prose. Since we need
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list; we can turn each sentence into a bullet. Might be many bullets but okay. Let's create bullets for each distinct duty. List: - Own end-to-end program execution for one or more hardware programs within AES — from early development through production scaling. - Be the single accountable owner for schedule, cost, and scope across your program, and the primary interface between the program team, senior leadership, and external stakeholders. - Drive decisions, not just surface them. - Operate at both strategic and tactical levels — able to define a program roadmap one hour and resolve a supply chain blocker the next. - Own the full program lifecycle for assigned AES hardware programs — from NPI and prototype builds through low-rate and full-rate production — with accountability for schedule, cost, and scope performance. - Develop and maintain comprehensive program plans, integrated master schedules, budgets, risk registers, and stakeholder communications, ensuring all artifacts reflect ground truth at all times. - Define program execution strategy, including phase gate criteria, acceptance frameworks, build plans, and production transition roadmaps. - Lead cross-functional program teams spanning engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, and operations — aligning priorities, resolving conflicts, and driving accountability at every level. - Identify, assess, and actively mitigate program risks before they become schedule or cost impacts; escalate clearly and decisively when they do. - Serve as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and external customers — delivering clear, credible program status and representing AES with confidence in program reviews, CDRs, and customer engagements. - Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to drive production scaling plans, capacity investments, and make/buy decisions that support program commitments. - Drive continuous improvement in program execution rigor, establishing repeatable processes and tools that scale across the AES portfolio. - Mentor and develop Program Coordinators and junior TPMs, building the program management capability of the broader AES team. That seems comprehensive. Now Required Qualifications list: - 10+ years of experience in technical program management or systems engineering in a hardware development or defense manufacturing environment - Demonstrated track record of delivering complex hardware programs on schedule and within budget, from early development through production - Strong technical fluency — you can engage substantively with engineering teams on design decisions, system integration challenges, and production readiness criteria - Deep knowledge of program management disciplines: integrated master scheduling, risk management, earned value or equivalent cost tracking, and requirements management - Proven ability to lead and align large, cross-functional teams without direct authority — influencing through clarity, credibility, and follow-through - Experience managing external customer relationships, including delivering program status in formal reviews and navigating scope and schedule negotiations - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to operate effectively from the factory floor to the executive briefing room - Strong financial acumen — able to build and manage program budgets, interpret cost performance data, and support business case development - Experience in aerospace, defense, or similarly regulated hardware development environment required - Experience supporting NPI programs through DV, PV, or LRIP gates - Background in financial operations or program controls (budgeting, planning, EVM, cost tracking) - PMP, CAPM, or equivalent certification - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Operations, or a related technical field - Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance - Willing to travel as necessary (~25%) Now Preferred Qualifications list: - Experience scaling hardware programs from prototype to LRIP or full-rate production - Familiarity with ITAR-controlled programs and associated documentation and compliance requirements - Background in manufacturing operations, production engineering, or supply chain management - Experience with NPI gate frameworks (DV, PV, LRIP) and production readiness reviews - PMP, DAU, or equivalent certification - Master’s degree in engineering, Systems engineering, Business, or a related technical discipline; advanced degree is a plus Now Benefits: The posting says: "Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next. For more information, Explore Our Benefits." It doesn't list specific benefits like health insurance, 401k, etc. It's vague. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits exist but not specific. It says "top-tier benefits" and "comprehensive, competitive benefits package". That's somewhat vague but still states benefits. Should we include? It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". Here benefits are described as "top-tier benefits" and "comprehensive, competitive benefits package". That's somewhat vague but not placeholder like "varies". It's still generic but maybe acceptable. However they also mention equity grants. That's specific: "Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers". That's a specific benefit. So we can include Benefits section with bullet points: Highly competitive equity grants (majority of full-time offers), Comprehensive competitive benefits package (little to no cost to employees) supporting health, recovery, etc. We'll keep as bullets. Pay: US Salary Range $166
- items.
Pay: There's US Salary Range $166,000—$208,000 USD. Also note about salary range estimate. So we can include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: Not mentioned (no schedule info). So omit Schedule.
Also need to include maybe "About the role" includes the mission description. We'll need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, scam warnings, data privacy, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from required qualifications, preferred qualifications, responsibilities, benefits, pay, about the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

Then description of AES team etc.
