Software Engineering Manager (ArsenalOS Deployment)

Job description

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 full 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 (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations. MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology. Our systems live where factory-floor machines, edge compute, and OT networks meet enterprise platforms and cloud infrastructure. We incubate solutions close to the production line, validate them with real operators building real hardware, harden them for reliability and security, and then scale them across multiple 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. This is not a support function. It is a strategic investment by Anduril in the premise that digitizing the manufacturing lifecycle end-to-end, from engineering definition through scheduling through execution through field feedback, is how Heavy Metal will out-build, out-adapt, and out-scale the traditional defense industrial base. MDP is scaling from a founding team to 70+ engineers across multiple U.S. sites. You will be joining early, working on hard problems with real operational stakes, and shaping how manufacturing software is built at Anduril from the ground up. ABOUT THE JOB As a Software Engineering Manager for ArsenalOS Deployment, you will lead a team of full-stack engineers building the applications that power daily planning, work assignment, and team-lead dashboards on the factory floor. You will drive technical excellence, hire and develop top engineering talent, and ensure your team delivers offline-capable, mobile-friendly interfaces that factory operators depend on where reliability is non-negotiable. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of full-stack software engineers building ArsenalOS applications for production planning, work assignment, and operational dashboards. • Hire exceptional engineering talent, building a high-performing team that balances speed, quality, and operational excellence in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. • Set technical direction and architectural standards for ArsenalOS applications including offline-first architectures, mobile-responsive design, and edge deployment patterns. • Partner with manufacturing engineers, factory operators, and production leadership to understand workflows and ensure your team builds software that truly meets operational needs. • Drive delivery and execution, ensuring your team ships high-quality features on time while maintaining production stability and meeting availability SLAs. • Ensure your team writes production-quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and establishing engineering best practices. • Own operational excellence for ArsenalOS including on-call rotations, incident response, post-mortems, and continuous reliability improvements. • Collaborate with product managers to translate manufacturing requirements into clear roadmaps, prioritize work, and make build-vs-buy decisions for ArsenalOS capabilities. • Work cross-functionally with backend engineers, data engineers, infrastructure teams, and manufacturing operations to ensure seamless integration with MES, data pipelines, and enterprise systems. • Deploy and operate systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks, through your team's execution. •
