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.
As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for the execution of production and sustainment contracts for new Anduril products, and/or development contracts for integrating new capability into the Electromagnetic Warfare family of systems.

You must be able to build lightweight process where required while maintaining outcome orientation and a bias toward action. This is not a traditional PM role.
