About the Job

Requirements

  • Be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
  • Have at least 3 years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, release manager, or engineer owning software release or hardware qualification processes in an embedded, robotics, or systems environment.
  • Have direct experience with OS image builds, golden configuration management, or fleet-wide software release processes.
  • Be comfortable reading test and qualification data and making a go/no-go decision under time pressure.
  • Have experience working across engineering, manufacturing, and quality/test organizations.
  • Have strong written communication skills and be able to document a release process clearly enough for another person to run it.

Responsibilities

  • Own the release process for golden configurations and OS images across Menace Management Interface (MMI) and Mission Command's fielded systems, including the calendar, gates, and go/no-go decision for every release.
  • Define and enforce the qualification bar a build must clear before shipping, including test coverage, regression signoff, security and compliance checks, and a rollback plan.
  • Build and maintain the certification pipeline that qualifies software and hardware builds for factory scaling and provisioning, working with manufacturing, test, and quality to close gaps before they reach the production line.
  • Partner with engineering to turn one-off releases into a repeatable, auditable process and reduce the manual steps and tribal knowledge needed to ship a build.
  • Serve as the point of contact for factory and provisioning teams when a release or certification blocks scaling; triage issues and drive them to resolution.
  • Track release health across versions, branches, and fleet, and report status, risk, and blockers to engineering and business-line stakeholders.
  • Own and improve the tooling and documentation for the release and certification process as the fleet and product surface grow.

Desired Qualifications

  • Have experience with hardware certification or provisioning processes in a factory or manufacturing environment.
  • Be familiar with embedded Linux, image-based deployment, or configuration management tooling.
  • Have experience scaling a release process from a small fleet to high-volume production.
  • Have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
