Job Description

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.

ABOUT THE JOB

You will own financial analyses that underpin major R&D initiatives around Anduril as well as existing products and businesses
You will partner with leadership and teams from across the business to translate engineering problems into quantitative measures and partial solutions (with a financial lens)
Your work will vary from quick-turn analytical problem solving to process and data improvements and building out financial models

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation. You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them.
- Execute scrappy analyses on short timelines to get answers quickly, while also owning more scalable solutions that will make Anduril successful in the long term
- Project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you
- Work across functions and learn Anduril’s business top-to-bottom. You will interact with Finance, Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and more
Own detailed financial models end-to-end, from on-the-ground gathering of data, through creating materials, to presenting them to stakeholders
- Build P&L models for different products, business lines, divisions, and acquisitions
- Build novel financial frameworks for thinking through operational decisions, including but not limited to facilities, manufacturing, supply chain, etc.
Create novel frameworks for establishing a strong “value engineering” muscle
- Establish transparency into material cost for existing and future Anduril products
- Build financial models that help set material cost targets for different products
- Work with the Engineering and Supply Chain teams to develop and implement cost reduction roadmaps
- Help executives think through tradeoffs in product features vs. costs vs. profitability
“Red-Team” engineering plans from a financial / business perspective

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

You have 1-2+ years of experience in manufacturing finance, engineering finance, or in a finance role at a high growth hardware company
You have a strong understanding of financial and accounting concepts
You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers
You are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel
You have an ability to quantify complex often ambiguous problems
You are willing to learn how to use corporate systems (e.g. Salesforce, Coupa, Anaplan) and analytic / dashboarding tools (e.g. Palantir Foundry)
You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership
You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don’t mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you’re watching Netflix
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
