Senior Product Manager role at Anduril, within the ArsenalOS/ProdOS team, owning the digital backbone for manufacturing and industrial engineering. Responsible for all pre-assembly workflows covering virtual builds, process simulation, model-based definition and factory layout.
What you'll do
- Design and implement a connected pre-operations software ecosystem spanning PLM, work instructions, process/plant planning, simulation and MES integration
- Digitize workflows for virtual builds, simulations, process validation and DFM analysis
- Enable model-based data continuity so PMI, GD&T and design intent flow from CAD through process planning to execution
- Deploy configurable integrations between CAD, PLM and MES platforms to create a seamless digital thread
- Enable automation and AI on the digital thread and drive adoption of new tools
- Develop metrics and feedback loops measuring engineering throughput, process time, simulation coverage and build readiness
- Drive user adoption and change management for new pre-ops digital capabilities
What we're looking for
- Systems thinking across digital tools, data models and process flows in the hardware lifecycle
- Deep empathy for engineers, from prior engineering experience or close collaboration with engineers
- Technical fluency in CAD, PLM, process simulation and MES platforms
- Integration mindset for defining APIs, data standards and system architectures
- Bias for enablement, measuring success by engineer speed and capability gains
- Comfort in ambiguity, translating complex technical domains into product direction
- Execution focus, delivering value early and iterating quickly
- 7+ years designing, developing and implementing CAD, PLM, MES and ERP systems and integrations in complex manufacturing environments
- Experience with industrial manufacturing processes, including heavy metal fabrication, welding, machining and assembly
- Expertise in the interplay of engineering and manufacturing processes across CAD, PLM, MES and ERP
- Product-oriented, outcome-driven approach focused on business winning
- First-principles thinking rather than vendor or past-employer conventions
- Excellent business and technical communication skills, written and oral
Nice to have
- Background in manufacturing, aerospace, AI, robotics or defense environments
Good to know
- U.S. Person status required for access to export-controlled data
- Ability to be in-office full time
- Willingness to travel 25-50% to visit other sites
