Software Engineer, Production Solutions

About the Team

ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of Anduril’s hardware enterprise. It connects the full lifecycle, from concept to build to field feedback, into one operating environment built for speed, traceability, autonomy, and continuous improvement. That environment includes not just the software used to design, plan, and execute work, but also the factory-facing infrastructure that connects operators, machines, test systems, and OT networks into the same adaptive Build Chain.

It is not a support function, but rather a strategic investment by Anduril that the operating system of the hardware lifecycle is how we win. It will be one of the mechanisms by which Anduril out-builds, out-adapts, and out-scales the traditional defense industrial base.

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join ArsenalOS, the digital backbone of Anduril's hardware enterprise from design to sustainment. You'll architect the distributed systems within our Manufacturing (Production Solutions) team in Forge MES (Manufacturing Execution System) that orchestrate Anduril's production operations—work order management, scheduling, material flow, and capacity planning—turning factories into adaptive, software‑defined production networks. This isn't about digitizing existing processes.

It's about building the technical foundation that makes Anduril's hardware enterprise more adaptive as it scales, not less.

Your impact will span beyond the immediate team. You'll serve as a technical bridge between Manufacturing and our Platform/Foundations organization, shaping infrastructure that meets production‑scale demands while driving adoption of platform capabilities. You'll represent manufacturing in broader architectural decisions, ensuring production requirements influence the systems that connect design changes to shop floor execution. Your decisions will determine whether Anduril can absorb more manufacturing complexity without slowing down—and whether we out-build the traditional defense industrial base.

Technical Architecture & Execution:

• Define and drive technical architecture for Manufacturing Production Solutions - make decisions on system design, scalability patterns, integration strategies, and platform vs. build tradeoffs that shape team execution
• Architect and implement complex distributed systems - build mission‑critical services, APIs, and tooling that enable safe, fast delivery across manufacturing production workflows (work orders, scheduling, material tracking, capacity planning)
• Lead by example with engineering excellence - establish patterns through hands‑on work: comprehensive testing, deployment safety (blue/green/canary), infrastructure as code, observability, and operational rigor

Cross‑Team Influence &

Collaboration:

• Bridge product and platform teams - collaborate with Platform/Foundations to shape shared infrastructure based on Manufacturing needs while driving adoption of platform capabilities
• Partner across MES product teams - integrate Manufacturing Production Solutions into cohesive manufacturing experiences, evolve data models across production/quality/supply chain domains, and drive technical consensus on cross‑cutting concerns
• Represent manufacturing domain technically - work with architecture, security, operations, and infrastructure teams to ensure production operations requirements influence broader technical decisions

Team & Technical Standards:

• Raise the technical bar for the team - through rigorous code review, architecture discussions, establishing shared ownership models, and improving practices that balance velocity with correctness
• Remove friction and unblock execution - identify systemic technical issues, eliminate single points of failure, and create leverage through automation and improved tooling

• 12+ years of experience in a software engineering role building products in fast‑paced environments
• Proven ability to influence technical direction across teams - drive architectural consensus, build alignment, and lead technical initiatives beyond a single team
• Experience working with large enterprise applications and platforms with high…
