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 SITE

Anduril, a leader in autonomous systems and weapons manufacturing, is building Arsenal‑1, its first hyperscale manufacturing facility, just south of Columbus, Ohio in Pickaway County. Arsenal‑1 is redefining the scale and speed that autonomous systems and weapons can be produced for the United States and its allies and partners. This is a monumental and essential step toward rebuilding America’s defense industrial base, strengthening America’s warfighting capabilities, and enhancing deterrence amid rising international threats.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The future of defense is being built right now, and Anduril’s Roadrunner product is at its leading edge. Roadrunner is a cutting‑edge VTOL (Vertical Take‑Off and Landing) counter‑UAS interceptor, designed for autonomous air defense operations. It rapidly detects, tracks, and neutralizes hostile unmanned aircraft systems to protect critical assets and personnel.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Roadrunner Team (RLT) will set the standard for building the future at Arsenal‑1, our state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing facility in Ashville, OH. This team will have the opportunity to train under our world‑class manufacturing team at Anduril HQ in Costa Mesa, CA for 3 months before bringing that standard of excellence back to Ohio.

ABOUT THE JOB

This role is about much more than just processes; it’s about orchestrating the industrialization of a vital product. You will own the entire manufacturing value‑chain for Roadrunner, from current rate to high‑volume deployment. Your responsibilities will span the spectrum: driving design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback into design, innovating tool design and selection, creating and optimizing high‑rate production lines, fostering strategic vendor partnerships, embedding robust quality assurance throughout, and meticulously documenting build processes. If you thrive under the pressure of scaling a critical product with immediate, real‑world impact, we want you to help us build the next generation of Roadrunner products. This role requires candidates to relocate to Costa Mesa for a 3‑month training program. Housing, transportation, etc. will be provided during your stay.
