Anduril Industries · Onsite · Costa Mesa, California, United States

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.

ABOUT THE JOB
As a Senior member of Anduril's Talent Acquisition team, you will own full-cycle hiring for our Test Automation Engineering and Electrical Systems Testing organizations as we continue to rapidly scale and grow. Your work will be hands-on and involve partnering closely with Electrical Engineering Services leadership to define hiring needs for highly technical, often hard-to-find talent, influence process improvements and efficiencies, and set a high bar of talent and performance. To achieve this, you will be given the autonomy and tools to execute, build, and develop Anduril's world class team. We are looking for someone who can handle every aspect of recruiting and talent mapping, excited to be part of lean and nimble team on one mission together, where no task is too big or too small.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Own and drive hiring strategy full-cycle, providing effective, clear communication and reporting
  • Act as a subject matter expert in prospecting techniques and tools used for information retrieval, data extraction, web-scraping, continuous process improvement, process automation, and candidate management
  • Conduct a high volume of interviews, demonstrating ability to anticipate and influence hiring manager preferences through successful interview-to-offer conversion ratios
  • Engage and source passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean strings, and referrals
  • Build talent maps across the Test Automation Engineering and Electrical Testing communities to generate market insights that inform your engagement strategy
  • Drive diverse talent into the organization ensuring a positive candidate experience at every touchpoint
  • Represent the company's brand and recruiting team internally and externally at the highest caliber
  • Leverage internal resources, teammates, and cross functional partners to build strategy around selling our value proposition and impacting hiring practices

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent years of working experience in lieu of a degree
  • 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in highly specialized or constrained talent markets
  • Demonstrated ability to develop sourcing strategies for roles where the addressable candidate population is small and conventional approaches don't work
  • 3+ years partnering directly with senior technical leadership on hiring strategy, role scoping, and market intelligence; track record of influencing requirements, not just filling them
  • 3+ years of experience working in a fast-paced in-house or agency environment with minimal oversight

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience hiring into aerospace, defense, or other hardware-centric industries (autonomous systems, robotics, avionics, UAVs), with working knowledge of ITAR policies around hiring practices
  • Demonstrated success hiring PhD-level engineers or research scientists in highly specialized, constrained talent markets
  • Experience acting in a consultative manner where your guidance has led to improved outcomes and positive candidate experiences
  • Clear and effective communication with candidates to understand motivation, drivers, and fit within the organization
  • Experience managing various high-volume pipelines of candidates and keeping track of their progress throughout the recruitment process
  • Highly autonomous, collaborative, and adaptable
