Special Projects, Production
Job description
Special Projects is Anduril’s production strike team. We are a small, elite group embedded directly in Production — Anduril’s largest, fastest-growing organization responsible for procuring, manufacturing, and delivering hardware to warfighters. We exist because scaling a hardware company at Anduril’s pace creates problems that can’t be solved from a conference room. They have to be solved on the floor, at the supplier, in the system — wherever the constraint actually lives. Think of us as Anduril’s equivalent of a rapid-response taskforce: a handful of high-output operators deployed against the highest-priority, hardest problems in Production.
You will be deployed against the most critical…
Job requirements
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, production engineering, supply chain, management consulting, or another environment where you had to physically solve hard operational problems — not just analyze…
- You have been on a factory floor. You understand how things are actually built, how supply chains actually work, and where things actually break down. Theoretical knowledge alone is not sufficient.
- You are fast. You bias toward action over analysis-paralysis. We’d rather pull you back than push you forward.
- You are self-directed to an extreme degree. You do not wait to be told what to do, what to prioritize, or how to solve a problem. You identify the highest-leverage thing you could be doing and you go do it.
- You are comfortable with hardware, physical systems, and the unglamorous details of how things get procured, manufactured, tested, and shipped.
- You have strong analytical chops. You think in numbers, data models, and root causes. You can build a model in Excel, pull data from an ERP, and turn it into a clear recommendation — quickly.
- You are relentless about follow-through. You don’t just identify problems — you fix them, verify the fix, and make sure they stay fixed.
- You are comfortable with high visibility. This role involves direct interaction with senior leadership and broad communication across the organization. Your work will be seen.
