Senior Manager, Manufacturing Maintenance (Arsenal)

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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.

At Anduril, maintenance isn't an afterthought — it's the backbone that keeps our high-throughput, automation-heavy factories running. As we scale production at Arsenal-1, our new manufacturing campus in Ashville, Ohio, we are standing up the site maintenance organization for Building 1 from a blank sheet of paper. We are looking for a Senior Manager of Maintenance to own that build end to end.

This is the senior site leader accountable for the maintenance and reliability of Arsenal-1 Building 1 as it ramps to multi-program, two-shift production supporting Fury, Barracuda, Altius, Roadrunner, and additional advanced programs. You will set the maintenance strategy, design and staff the organization, build the leadership team beneath you, stand up the preventive maintenance and spare parts programs, and establish the reliability culture that everything downstream depends on.

As a member of the site operations leadership team, you will represent maintenance in capital planning, facility expansion, and program-launch decisions. You will report directly to the Senior Director of Manufacturing Operations at Arsenal-1 and partner closely with Anduril's central maintenance Center of Excellence to bring enterprise standards to life on our floor.

• Build and lead a multi-layer team — hire and develop maintenance managers and supervisors beneath you, along with skilled-trades technicians (electrical/controls, mechanical/millwright, and facilities) and planners/schedulers spanning administrative, tactical, and strategic roles.
• Stand up the preventive and predictive maintenance program — develop PM schedules, job plans, and reliability strategies for a mixed environment of manual and automated assembly, machining and fabrication, and building/facility systems.
• Own the spare parts and MRO strategy and budget — define critical spares for the program plan of record, set stocking levels and reorder points, establish the storeroom, own the maintenance operating and capital budget, and build OEM and supplier relationships to protect uptime.
• Deploy maintenance systems and data — implement and administer the CMMS for work order management, asset tracking, PM compliance, and KPI reporting, configured to the enterprise standard.
• Support new equipment and automation launches — partner with controls engineering, automation, and facilities on equipment installation, commissioning, spare-parts provisioning, and maintainability from day one.
• Own tooling, calibration, and documentation — establish calibration schedules, asset registers, equipment manuals, and maintenance records for the site.
• Drive reliability and continuous improvement — track and improve uptime, MTBF/MTTR, PM compliance, and…
