Staff Software Engineer for Anduril's ArsenalOS, focusing on the digital backbone of the hardware enterprise. The role involves architecting distributed systems within Manufacturing (Production Solutions) to orchestrate production operations like work order management, scheduling, material flow, and capacity planning. The goal is to build a technical foundation for adaptive, scalable hardware manufacturing, bridging manufacturing needs with platform infrastructure and influencing broader architectural decisions.

What you'd actually do

  1. 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
  2. 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)
  3. 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
  4. Bridge product and platform teams - collaborate with Platform/Foundations to shape shared infrastructure based on Manufacturing needs while driving adoption of platform capabilities
  5. 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
