About the role
- Anduril Industries is 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.
- The role requires leading a high-performing supply chain organization executing under extreme urgency to deliver at high-rate production while thriving in ambiguity and compressed timelines.
Responsibilities
- Architect and execute an aggressive, agile supply chain strategy supporting high-rate manufacturing for the ALTIUS hardware line.
- Lead, mentor, and scale an operational supply chain team supporting a production organization of 50+ personnel.
- Drive supplier identification, qualification, and performance under dynamic conditions, managing suppliers effectively even when initial engineering requirements or scopes are evolving.
- 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).
- Partner closely with central Arsenal manufacturing hubs, corporate commodity managers, and engineering teams to conduct make/buy analyses and resolve design-to-production bottlenecks.
- Serve as the primary escalation point when suppliers slip: diagnosing root causes, executing recovery plans, and ensuring the line never goes down.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
- 8+ years of progressive supply chain and procurement leadership experience within aerospace, defense, hardware devices, automotive/EV (e.g., Tesla), or advanced hardware manufacturing.
- Proven track record of career progression and organizational tenure (demonstrated growth/promotions within prior companies).
- Direct experience scaling a production line to high volumes (hundreds of complex mechanical/electrical units per month).
- Demonstrated experience operating under extreme speed and ambiguity, with an ability to deliver on commitments when design definitions or specs are still evolving.
- Deep expertise in supplier quality management, qualification processes, DFMEA, and AS9100 compliance.
- Hands-on experience deploying and operating with modern ERP and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
- Willingness to travel up to 25% to visit local and regional supply partners.
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident) and eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications
- Prior experience in fast-turn, high-consequence hardware environments
- Master’s degree or MBA in a technical or business discipline.
