Business Operations Associate, Factory Systems

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h3>About the Role</h3> <p>Factory Systems keeps Anduril’s production lines running by making sure the right hardware and software get purchased, received, tracked, licensed, and sustained. Our factory footprint is scaling rapidly, and the fleet of devices we support is growing quickly. The procurement, logistics, and licensing processes that can absorb that growth do not yet exist.<br><br>This is more of a business operations role than a functional logistics or IT seat. You will walk into an ambiguous, fast-moving environment, decompose how hardware and software actually flow from need to production floor, and design the operating system including the workflows, tooling, and standards that makes it reliable and repeatable at scale. You will build it while you run it, then systematize it so a dedicated administrator can operate it steady-state as you scale the model further.</p> <h3>What You’ll Own</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Procurement engine (hardware & software). </strong>Design and run the process that turns a defined hardware or software need into a compliant purchase and an on-time delivery. This includes purchasing and approval workflows, cost allocation across business lines, vendor management, and reconciliation. Take defined needs from our engineering and site teams and drive them end to end.</li> <li><strong>Logistics & the dock-to-line pipeline. </strong>Own the physical flow from receiving dock to production floor: receiving, staging, verifying that what arrived matches what was ordered, deployment coordination, and the reverse logistics (swaps, refreshes, RMAs, and vendor returns) that a growing fleet generates. Make physical status match system status in your warehouse and ticketing tools.</li> <li><strong>Software licensing & compliance. </strong>Stand up the master software inventory (categorized by cost type and license type), drive the shift from individual to enterprise licensing on shared devices, keep procurement compliant with internal security review, and own the licensing procurement and accounting model.</li> <li><strong>Standards & scale (cross-cutting). </strong>Turn what you build into documented, repeatable SOPs and dashboards that run on process and not heroics. The systems should be designed from day one to scale with a rapidly growing fleet and to be turnkey operated.</li> </ul> <h3>What You’ll Do</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Own execution end to end. </strong>Take a defined hardware or software need and drive it through procurement, receipt, verification, and delivery to the production line with minimal oversight and clear accountability if something isn’t ready.</li> <li><strong>Make the dock-to-floor pipeline work. </strong>Personally handle receiving, staging, and reconciliation today; verify received matches ordered; coordinate deployment timing so parts never block a build.</li> <li><strong>Own the back half of the lifecycle. </strong>Manage refresh, RMA, warranty, and vendor r
