Engineering IT Program Manager

About this role

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:

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s hardware enterprise. It connects the full lifecycle, from concept to build to field feedback, into one operating environment built for speed, traceability, autonomy, and continuous improvement. That environment includes not just the software used to design, plan, and execute work, but also the factory-facing infrastructure that connects operators, machines, test systems, and OT networks into the same adaptive Build Chain. It is not a support function, but rather a strategic investment by Anduril that the operating system of the hardware lifecycle is how we win. It will be one of the mechanisms by which Anduril out-builds, out-adapts, and out-scales the traditional defense industrial base. We are looking for a Engineering Solutions Application Engineer to work with our team of developers and partner with cross functional teams across the company to develop customizations, optimize workflows and ensure engineering tools do not limit the speed of engineering design.

ABOUT THE JOB:

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Program Manager to join our team. You will be responsible for helping product and program teams maximize the value they get out of the engineering tools and systems they use on a daily basis (CAD, CAE, Requirements tools etc.). You will work across a broad set of stakeholders to design, develop, and implement improvements and optimizations to our engineering systems while helping steer future investments. Beyond optimizing existing tools, this individual will also have a hand in helping operate a portfolio of internal products, vendor pilots, platform decisions, integrations, upgrades, and KTLO initiatives.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Translate product strategy and portfolio priorities into executable programs, milestones, owners, and outcomes.

• Maintain visibility across concurrent workstreams, dependencies, risks, decisions, and resourcing gaps.

• Drive execution across engineering users, software teams, infrastructure, security, procurement, system owners, and vendors.

• Identify missing handoffs and unwritten work, converting them into accountable plans.

• Facilitate requirements and scope definition with product, customer, and technical owners.

• Lead pilots, implementations, migrations, rollouts, adoption, and operational handoffs.

• Provide concise, decision-ready updates and escalate consequential tradeoffs early.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years of relevant engineering, technical program management, or engineering-systems implementation experience.

• Familiarity with platforms such as NX, Simcenter, Teamcenter, Cameo/TWC, Jama, or comparable systems.

• Experience with MCAD, ECAD, CAE, MBSE, requirements-management, simulation, or engineering-data platforms.

• Demonstrated success leading multiple concurrent, technically complex programs across organizational boundaries.

• Working knowledge of engineering workflows and systems, with meaningful depth in at least one domain.

• Experience coordinating internal development teams, engineering customers, infrastructure partners, and external vendors.

• Technical fluency with system integrations, APIs, data flows, authentication, and enterprise deployments.

• Experience managing plans, dependencies, risks, decisions, delivery readiness, and stakeholder communication.

• Excellent facilitation, written communication, judgment, and follow-through.

• Must be a US person.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Prior experience as a practicing mechanical, electrical, systems, or analysis engineer.

• Experience delivering pilots, migrations, major upgrades, or internal engineering products through adoption.

• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or complex hardware manufacturing.

• Familiarity with digital-thread, Model-Based Enterprise, data-migration, and ETL concepts.

• Experience with enterprise licensing, procurement, security reviews, and vendor management.
