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.

What you'd do

  • Own the cross-site QMS alignment strategy, ensuring all Anduril facilities operate under a consistent, AS9100/ISO 9001-compliant quality management system that supports enterprise-wide certification and customer audit readiness.
  • Conduct structured site assessments and quality maturity evaluations across manufacturing, engineering, and field operations locations to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for standardization.
  • Develop and maintain a site risk register that captures quality system risks by location, tracks mitigation actions, and provides leadership with clear visibility into enterprise-level quality health.
  • Serve as the primary liaison between corporate Quality and site quality teams, facilitating regular engagement cadences, best-practice sharing, and escalation pathways for systemic issues.
  • Lead the rollout of new or revised QMS processes, procedures, and policies across sites, managing change implementation timelines, stakeholder communication, and adoption verification.
  • Partner with Internal Audit, Supplier Quality, and Compliance teams to coordinate audit schedules, align corrective action processes, and ensure findings are resolved consistently across the enterprise.
  • Define and report on enterprise quality metrics and KPIs—such as nonconformance trends, corrective action closure rates, and audit findings by site—to drive data-informed decisions at the leadership level.
  • Build and maintain the governance framework for QMS document control across sites, including process ownership models, revision workflows, and harmonized document hierarchies.
  • Requires up to 50% travel

What they want

  • 8–12 years of experience in quality management, quality systems, or quality program management within aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated industry.

  • Proven track record of conducting quality system assessments, gap analyses, or internal audits and translating findings into actionable improvement plans.
  • Strong program management skills with experience coordinating cross-functional, multi-site initiatives—including stakeholder alignment, timeline management, and risk-based prioritization.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility and drive alignment across site leaders, engineers, and executive stakeholders without direct authority.
