Anduril Industries is looking to solve the problem of transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology by building a next-generation manufacturing ecosystem powered by software and infrastructure. The role is responsible for architecting, building, and scaling the digital backbone that connects people, robots, and systems across smart factories, enabling real-time data flow, automation, and coordination.
Requirements
- Proven experience building or supporting industrial or manufacturing systems, with strong knowledge of automation, controls, and factory networking.
- Expertise in data infrastructure, API design, IoT protocols, and edge computing architectures.
- Experience deploying and managing systems that bridge IT and OT domains, ensuring reliability, security, and scalability.
- Familiarity with robotic systems, industrial automation, and real-time data streaming technologies.
- Familiarity with data collection, processing, and reporting for factory infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), and DevOps practices.
- Expertise in infrastructure, automation, and data systems
Responsibilities
- Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of software and infrastructure engineers building core Connected Factory services.
- Define system architectures that support smart manufacturing at scale, including edge computing, data pipelines, and API integrations between machines and enterprise systems.
- Design and deploy compute infra to support real-time data exchange across thousands of devices and sensors on the factory floor.
- Implement high-reliability networks, message brokers, and APIs that facilitate safe and secure communication between machines, humans, and cloud services.
- Develop tools and services that enable simulation, orchestration, and monitoring of production environments.
- Ensure systems align with Industry 4.0 and IoT interoperability standards (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT).
- Oversee deployment of edge nodes, data collection systems, and digital twins that optimize throughput and predictive maintenance.
Other
- 8+ years of experience in software or dev ops engineering, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or management role.
- Partner with Automation, Manufacturing, and IT teams to ensure seamless integration between software, robotics, and operational technologies.
- Collaborate with automation and robotics teams to enable human-machine collaboration and efficient factory operations.
- Work closely with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to translate operational needs into scalable software solutions.
- Champion a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
