Director of Supply Chain

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 Team Anduril Industries is a defense technology company dedicated to transforming U.S. and allied defense capabilities with advanced software and hardware systems. Our ALTIUS business line builds the most manufactured and deployed hardware systems in Anduril’s history—delivering critical, autonomous, tube-launched air vehicles to the U.S. Department of Defense and international allies to protect sovereignty and deter aggression. Producing at a high cadence of hundreds of vehicles per month, the ALTIUS line is at the forefront of modern, scaled defense manufacturing. About The Job We are seeking a Director of Supply Chain to lead product sourcing, procurement, supplier quality, material flow, inventory, and warehousing operations for the ALTIUS product line in Atlanta, GA. In this role, you will lead a high-performing supply chain organization executing under extreme urgency to deliver at high-rate production.

Aggressively compress lead times—turning standard 6-month industry timelines into rapid turnarounds without sacrificing quality or system reliability. Own supplier quality engineering, inspection, validation, and qualification processes, utilizing DFMEA and quality standards to proactively mitigate part failure risks. Lead rigorous commercial and cost negotiations with critical vendors, moving beyond standard long-term agreements (LTAs) to secure maximum speed, flexibility, and volume pricing. Optimize end-to-end material flow, inventory control, and warehousing using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). Maintain rigorous manufacturing and audit compliance standards (including AS9100 quality management).
