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's Sentry Planning team is looking for a Supply Planner to own the supply and production strategy for a set of complex hardware assemblies and product lines. This person sets the supply strategy, shaping what we need to build, in what quantity, and how far ahead of demand signals, so that annual production commitments and customer ship dates are achievable. Material Planning owns clear-to-builds and day-to-day material execution;
You own the strategy that puts Planning and your product lines in a position to succeed.

To be clear about scope: you do not own the demand forecast, you own what supply plan to support it. Demand signals here move fast. The right person for this role has ownership and experience solving complex operational challenges with creative solutions in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. This person will be flexible to provide support wherever needed to ensure products are built and shipped under stringent quality standards.

If you are someone who thrives in such an environment, then this role is for you!

• Lead Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) discussions for Supply Planning on designated product lines.
• Work with Demand Planning and Production Program Management partners to align production throughput and build plans with actual demand plans.

Partner with Material Planning and Purchasing to expedite, de-expedite, or re-source; work with Engineering on substitutions and change timing; keep Manufacturing Engineering and Production partners current on what's moving and when.
• Report on supply and material health in a way that forces decisions rather than describing status, covering coverage, risk, aging, and excess, along with your recommendation on each.

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (i.e. manufacturing, engineering, analytics, computer science, etc.) or business field (i.e. finance, economics, supply chain management, business administration, marketing, etc.)
• 3+ years of experience in a supply chain or production role within a fast-paced manufacturing environment dealing with complex assemblies.
• Complete ownership of a complex value chain, coordinating between multiple, high volume of departments and teams to ensure on-time deliveries and adherence to quality standards.
