Senior Technical Program Manager, Design Engineering
Anduril Industries 🇺🇸 Costa Mesa, California, United States of America
Manage the transition of hardware designs from engineering to production for new and sustaining products. Drive DFM reviews and establish measurable systems to track first-pass yield and rework costs.
Responsibilities
- Own the schedule and cost performance of engineering-to-production transition for NPI and sustaining changes
- Drive engineering release readiness with clear criteria, blocking releases that are not production-ready
- Work with the change management team to assess ECO/ECN impact on production schedule, cost, and rework
- Track and drive resolution of engineering changes with downstream production impact, owning rework and retrofit rate accountability
- Drive DFM reviews and ensure producibility is addressed before designs lock, not after
- Build the systems that make engineering-to-production handoff measurable: first-pass yield, change-driven rework costs, and schedule impact of engineering decisions
- Leverage quantitative models (trade studies, sensitivity analysis on tolerances and process capability) to inform design-for-production decisions
- Prepare technical documentation, analysis reports, and briefings for internal teams, customers, and government stakeholders
- Maintain reproducible analysis pipelines using version control, scripting, and scalable workflows
Requirements
- 5+ years in technical program management, NPI, or design-to-production roles in complex hardware environments
- Demonstrated experience blocking or redirecting engineering releases based on production readiness assessment
- Technical depth in hardware design and manufacturing processes sufficient to challenge engineering on producibility
- Experience managing engineering change processes (ECO/ECN) and tracing change impact to cost and schedule
- Comfortable building or interpreting quantitative models to inform design and production trade decisions
- Familiar with version control, scripting, scalable workflows, and reproducible analysis practices
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
Benefits
- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees)
- Highly competitive equity grants
- Health, recovery, and other benefits
