Sobre este puesto de Battery Technical Program Manager en Anduril Industries
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. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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.
As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Battery & Power Systems, you will drive the development and delivery of the high-performance battery packs and power distribution systems that fuel Anduril’s autonomous fleet. Battery systems are a critical enabler for our platforms, whether powering a long-endurance AUV operating in the deep ocean, or a high-acceleration interceptor.
You will not be a passive coordinator. You will be a deeply technical leader embedded within our hardware engineering team, bridging the gap between cell chemistry, mechanical packaging, battery management systems (BMS), thermal design, and manufacturing. You will manage the entire lifecycle of our custom battery programs from early-stage cell selection through prototyping, qualification, and high-rate production.
What You’ll Do
- Drive Execution: Lead cross-functional engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, thermal, firmware, safety, and manufacturing) to deliver custom battery packs on schedule and within budget.
- Define Roadmap & Scope: Translate product-level requirements (weight, volume, power density, thermal constraints, cycle life) into actionable engineering requirements for the battery and power teams.
- Risk & Lifecycle Management: Manage the hardware development lifecycle (EVT, DVT, PVT). Proactively identify technical, supply chain, and schedule risks, and drive mitigation strategies.
- Supplier & Partner Management: Partner with Global Supply Chain to manage relationships with cell manufacturers, external pack assemblers, and component vendors.
- Qualification & Safety: Coordinate rigorous testing and qualification campaigns, ensuring compliance with transport and military safety standards (e.g., UN 38.3, MIL-STD-810, and NAVSEA SG270/S9310-AQ-SAF-010 for undersea applications).
- Cross-Product Integration: Act as the primary point of contact for internal product platform teams (e.g., Dive-LD, Altius, Roadrunner) to integrate battery systems into their airframes and hulls.
- Technical Depth: BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
- Industry Experience: 4+ years of experience as a TPM, Product Manager, or Lead Engineer delivering complex hardware systems, with at least 2 years focused specifically on lithium-ion battery packs, BMS, or electric powertrains (EV, aerospace, grid storage, or defense).
- Battery Domain Expertise: Strong understanding of battery pack design principles, including cell chemistry performance (NMC, LFP, Li-Metal), thermal runaway mitigation, battery management system (BMS) architectures, and high-voltage safety.
- Bias for Action: Proven track record of operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable making high-stakes decisions with incomplete data.
- Exceptional Communication: Ability to translate deep technical challenges into clear executive summaries and actionable plans for cross-functional stakeholders.
- Experience with aerospace or defense-specific battery qualification standards (e.g., DO-311, NAVSEA SG270/S9310).
- Experience transitioning hardware from low-volume prototyping to medium/high-volume manufacturing.
- Hands-on experience with hardware testing, CAD, or thermal simulation tools.
