About the role
You will be deployed against the most critical bottlenecks in Production — whether that’s a supplier who can’t hit rate, a manufacturing line that’s bleeding yield, a system that’s generating bad data, or a process that’s adding weeks to delivery. You go where the problem is, you diagnose it, and you fix it. You work across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Planning, Quality, Test, and any other function that touches the critical path. You are equally comfortable in an ERP system and on a production floor. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You have been on a factory floor. You understand how things are actually built, how supply chains actually work, and where things actually break down. Theoretical knowledge alone is not sufficient
- You are fast. You bias toward action over analysis-paralysis. We’d rather pull you back than push you forward
- You are self-directed to an extreme degree. You do not wait to be told what to do, what to prioritize, or how to solve a problem. You identify the highest-leverage thing you could be doing and you go do it
- You are comfortable with hardware, physical systems, and the unglamorous details of how things get procured, manufactured, tested, and shipped
- You have strong analytical chops. You think in numbers, data models, and root causes. You can build a model in Excel, pull data from an ERP, and turn it into a clear recommendation — quickly
- You are relentless about follow-through. You don’t just identify problems — you fix them, verify the fix, and make sure they stay fixed

Forward Deployed Production is Anduril’s production strike team. We are a small, elite group embedded directly in Production — Anduril’s largest, fastest-growing organization responsible for procuring, manufacturing, and delivering hardware to warfighters. We exist because scaling a hardware company at Anduril’s pace creates problems that can’t be solved from a conference room. They have to be solved on the floor, at the supplier, in the system — wherever the constraint...
