- You will own financial analyses that underpin major R&D initiatives around Anduril as well as existing products and businesses
- You will partner with leadership and teams from across the business to translate engineering problems into quantitative measures and partial solutions (with a financial lens)
- Your work will vary from quick-turn analytical problem solving to process and data improvements and building out financial models
- Own projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them.
- Execute scrappy analyses on short timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term
- Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you
- Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Finance, Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and more
- Own detailed financial models end-to-end, from on-the-ground gathering of data, through creating materials, to presenting them to stakeholders
- Build P&L models for different products, business lines, divisions, and acquisitions
- Build novel financial frameworks for thinking through operational decisions, including but not limited to facilities, manufacturing, supply chain, etc.
- Create novel frameworks for establishing a strong “value engineering” muscle
- Establish transparency into material cost for existing and future Anduril products
- Build financial models that help set material cost targets for different products
- Work with the Engineering and Supply Chain teams to develop and implement cost reduction roadmaps
- Help executives think through tradeoffs in product features vs. costs vs. profitability
- “Red-Team” engineering plans from a financial / business perspective
- You have 1-2+ years of experience in manufacturing finance, engineering finance, or in a finance role at a high growth hardware company
- You have a strong understanding of financial and accounting concepts
- You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers
- You are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel
- You have an ability to quantify complex often ambiguous problems
- You are willing to learn how to use corporate systems (e.g. Salesforce, Coupa, Anaplan) and analytic / dashboarding tools (e.g. Palantir Foundry)
- You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership
- You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don’t mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you’re watching Netflix
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
