PLM Architect

Anduril is committed to transforming US and allied defense through a rapid, agile, and scalable approach to manufacturing. As part of this effort, Anduril is investing considerably in the development of Arsenal-OS and Arsenal-1, a five million square foot production space designed to produce tens of thousands of autonomous military systems annually. Come join us as we build a new software-defined manufacturing platform for modern warfare and reimagine industrialization in the US.

Anduril’s Manufacturing Development team is seeking a Digital Manufacturing Solution Architect to join our team. The Manufacturing Development team defines and delivers solutions to improve the manufacturing engineering way of working. As Digital Manufacturing Solution Architect, you will define and deploy processes and digital tools focused on design for manufacturing and transforming the co-design & engineering lifecycle phases for our products and factories. This position includes a blend of responsibilities typically found in solution architect and product owner roles. If you are excited to take a new approach to manufacturing, where manufacturing itself is the product and the future is hyper-scale and software-defined, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO 

• Define new ways of working for manufacturing engineering and industrial engineering, including processes, digital tools, and data. Balance standardization with adaptability
  and agility to architect scalable solutions that maximize impact and business value.
