Production Manager, 2nd Shift

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.

Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) has a manufacturing facility located in McHenry, MS, just north of the Gulfport/Biloxi metro area, approximately 45 minutes from the Gulf. The site houses dozens of buildings and includes facilities focused on research and development, case preparation, and solid rocket fuel manufacturing. RMS is made of multiple teams including Development Operations, Production Operations, Quality, Supply Chain & Warehouse, Manufacturing Engineering, Tool Engineering, Facilities, and Maintenance.

This role would be located onsite as part of the Production Operations organization.

As 2nd Shift Production Manager, you will support Anduril’s solid rocket motor business line by personally seeing to the safety of the 2nd shift team during inert and energetic production operations, coordinating shift handovers with the day shift managers, and collaborating with other groups such as Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, Supply Chain, Warehouse, and EH&S to set conditions for successful and efficient execution of scheduled work.

You will also be responsible for developing subordinate leaders such as supervisors and/or leads, enforcing corporate policies and maintaining a standard of excellence with less oversight than a typical shift manager.

This position requires that you be comfortable working with and around potentially hazardous chemicals, can maintain exceptional attention to detail, and, above all else, have the courage to call a “Stop Work” if the situation calls for it. You will also be expected to quickly adapt to new challenges and taskings as a leader in a new and evolving business division.
