Senior PLM Engineer, Manufacturing Systems; Digital Engineering

Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations.

MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology. Our systems live where factory-floor machines, edge compute, and OT networks meet enterprise platforms and cloud infrastructure. We incubate solutions close to the production line, validate them with real operators building real hardware, harden them for reliability and security, and then scale them across multiple sites.

The environment is fast, physical, and consequential. When our systems go down, production stops. The output of our work is not a dashboard: it is a ship.

This is not a support function. It is a strategic investment by Anduril in the premise that digitizing the manufacturing lifecycle end-to-end, from engineering definition through scheduling through execution through field feedback, is how Heavy Metal will out-build, out-adapt, and out-scale the traditional defense industrial base. MDP is scaling from a founding team to 70+ engineers across multiple U.S. sites. You will be joining early, working on hard problems with real operational stakes, and shaping how manufacturing software is built at Anduril from the ground up.

MDP is building the manufacturing digital thread that connects engineering release to the machines and inspection systems on the factory floor. You'll own the integration layer between Teamcenter and Anduril's production platform so CAM programs, machine dispatch and inspection results move automatically instead of by hand.

• Build and own the integrations that carry CAM data out of Teamcenter and onto the shop floor, including NX CAM outputs, DNC dispatch to machine controls and the return path for as‑run data.
• Develop custom Teamcenter extensions using ITK and SOA, along with BMIDE data model changes and Active Workspace interfaces, to support manufacturing workflows that off‑the‑shelf configuration can't reach.
• Close the inspection loop by integrating CAI and metrology systems so measured results land back in the digital thread as structured data rather than static reports.
• Make EBOM to MBOM propagation and model‑based definition data flow automatically into downstream manufacturing and quality systems.
• Unblock partner teams across scheduling, applied AI and manufacturing systems by exposing manufacturing data through APIs they can build on.
• Partner with manufacturing engineers and factory operators to understand production workflows and translate them into software requirements.
• Write production‑quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and architectural discussions.
• Deploy and operate your systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks.
• Leverage AI tooling (coding assistants, automation) in your development workflow and contribute to team engineering practices.
• Join an on‑call rotation supporting production factory systems.

• 8+ years of experience in a software engineering role building production systems, ideally in a fast‑paced environment.
• Deep expertise in Teamcenter development: 5+ years hands‑on with ITK and SOA customization in C++ and Java, BMIDE data modeling and Active Workspace.
• Demonstrated experience…
