Staff Product Manager, Manufacturing Software

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 Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that remove manual toil from the shop floor and business operations. MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology, incubating solutions close to the production line, validating them with real operators, hardening them for reliability and security, and scaling them across sites. The environment is fast, physical, and consequential. When our systems go down, production stops. The output of our work is not a dashboard: it is a ship. MDP is scaling from a founding team to more than 70 engineers across multiple U.S. sites, and you will be joining early to shape how manufacturing software is built at Anduril. ABOUT THE JOB As a Staff Product Manager for Manufacturing Software, you will lead product for the entirety of Maritime Digital Production. Rather than owning a single line of effort, you will set product vision and strategy across MDP's domains: the factory data platform, the manufacturing execution applications, the scheduling and optimization engine, and the AI systems that remove manual toil from the shop floor and business operations. You will be the senior product voice for the function, balancing investment across these domains, raising the product bar, and guiding the other product managers on the team. Product Leadership You set the product bar for the entire function. You mentor and guide other product managers, establish the product practices and standards the team works to, and create clarity across domains so that individual owners can move fast without losing the thread of the broader strategy. You lead through influence rather than authority, earning trust with engineering, operations, and leadership across MDP. Product Strategy You can “see around the corner” for the function, crafting the vision, portfolio roadmap, and critical dependencies well beyond the current cycle. You constantly engage with stakeholders and leadership to solicit input and buy-in, proactively communicating goals and managing expectations. You escalate and own the largest tradeoffs and decision points across the portfolio. Product Prioritization You work backward from strategy to set clear outcomes across domains in partnership with your engineering, design, and operations leaders. You build the structures that let multiple teams prioritize competing work within rapid development cycles, and you keep the portfolio adaptable as new information arrives. Problem Discovery and Solution Generation You become attached to problems, not solutions. You seek out real-world context through onsite user research on the factory floor, direct conversations with technicians and operators, internal expert feedback, existing product data, and industry investigation. You separate what a customer asks for from what a customer actually needs, c…
