Senior Product Manager, Manufacturing and Industrial Design Systems

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:ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s 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.ABOUT THE JOB:To move at the speed of software, our manufacturing systems must be equally agile. The Senior Product Manager, Manufacturing and Industrial Design Systems owns the digital backbone that enables our manufacturing and industrial engineers to plan, simulate, and validate production before the first part is built. They are responsible for all the workflows and processes that ProdOS covers that occur prior to the actual assembling of our products. In this role, you’ll define and deliver the systems that power virtual builds, process simulations, model-based definition, factory layout, and design-for-manufacturing — transforming slow, manual workflows into a cohesive digital thread. You must be able zoom down into helping manufacturing engineers optimize work instructions to avoid collisions and zoom up to help industrial engineers simulate factory layouts and everything in between. Every second we save in manufacturing and industrial design makes us faster at getting critical technology into the hands of the warfighter. Your work ensures that Anduril’s products can move from design to production with speed, precision, and confidence — so that when we need to scale, the factory is ready on day one.WHAT YOU'LL DO:Design and implement a connected pre-operations software ecosystem spanning PLM, work instructions, process/plant planning, simulation, and MES integration.Digitize the workflows that let manufacturing and industrial engineers perform virtual builds, simulations, process validation, and DFM analysis efficiently and consistently.Enable Model-based data continuity — ensuring PMI, GD&T, and design intent flow cleanly from CAD through process planning to execution.Deploy Configurable integrations between tools like our CAD, PLM, and MES platforms to create a seamless digital thread with support from ProdOS engineersEnable automation and AI with the digital thread established by ProdOS engineers. Drive adoption of new tools that allow engineers to 10X their work.Develop metrics and feedback loops that measure engineering throughput, time spent on each process, simulation coverage, and build readiness.Drive user adoption and change management for new pre-ops digital capabilities, enabling engineers to focus on solving physical problems — not fighting software.REQUIRED CHARACTERISTICS: Systems thinker — understands how digital tools, data models, and process flows connect across the hardware product lifecycle.Deep empathy for engineers — knows how manufacturing, process, and industrial engineers work, and what they need to go faster. Have either been an engineer previously, or worked closely with themTechnical fluency in CAD, PLM, process simulation, and MES platformsIntegration mindset — comfortable defining APIs, data standards, and system architectures that tie design and manufacturing together.Bias for enablement — you measure success by how much faster and more capable other engineers become because of your work.Comfort in ambiguity — thrives in evolving environments and translates complex technical domains into clear product direction.Execution focus — delivers value early, iterates quickly, and measures impact in throughput and readiness.Background in manufacturing, aerospace, AI, robotics, or defense environments is a strong plus.REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:7+ years of experience experience in designing, developing, and implementing CAD, PLM, MES, and ERP systems and their integrations in complex manufacturing environmentsExperience with industrial manufacturing processes, particularly in heavy metal fabrication, welding, machining, and assemblyExpertise in the interplay of engineering and manufacturing processes between CAD, PLM, MES and ERP.Product Oriented, Outcome Driven - Above all else, you care about the business winning, not how well built a system or integration is.First Principles Thinking - You approach problems and develop solutions not based on what a vendor recommends or because it’s how you did things at their last job, but from a deep appreciation of what is best for the company.Excellent business and technical communication skills, both written and oral, and the ability to convey messages in a persuasive manner and at the appropriate level of detail.U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.Ability to be in-office full time and willingness to travel up to 25-50% to visit other sites.US Salary Range$166,000—$220,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
