Senior Technical Program Manager, Design Engineering

Anduril Industries 🇺🇸 Costa Mesa, California, United States of America

Onsite $160,000 - $220,000 Full-time Senior

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
