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.\nABOUT THE TEAM\nThe Sentry product family delivers autonomous force protection capabilities across defense, border security, and critical infrastructure missions. While our fixed-site platforms provide persistent domain awareness, the next generation of Sentry expands these capabilities onto mobile, maneuverable, and expeditionary platforms. The Sentry Maneuver Systems team develops these next-generation platforms by integrating vehicle systems, robotics, autonomy, sensing, communications, power systems, and mission payloads into rapidly deployable capabilities. These common platform technologies support multiple business lines-including Counter-Intrusion, Air Defense, Maritime, and future mission areas-creating reusable capabilities that can be adapted across a broad range of operational needs.\nABOUT THE JOB\nWe’re seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead development of Anduril’s Sentry Maneuver Systems platform. This role is responsible for driving execution across the complete hardware development lifecycle-from early concept development through engineering integration, prototype builds, qualification, manufacturing readiness, production, and operational deployment. Primary ownership will focus on the Mobile Sentry platform while supporting development of adjacent maneuver capabilities, including new vehicle integrations, chassis development, and lower-cost or dismounted system variants as the product family evolves.\nAs a Staff TPM, you’ll provide technical program leadership across multiple engineering organizations while partnering closely with Product Management, Platform Architecture, Chief Engineers, and stakeholders across Counter-Intrusion, Air Defense, Maritime, and other business lines to ensure shared platform capabilities evolve to meet diverse mission requirements.
