ABOUT
THE TEAM The duty of this organization is to enable our Customers’ ongoing Mission Readiness . From the moment they say '“go” until the contract is fulfilled. We are only successful when the customer's mission is successful. Mission Readiness is the post-production shared services organization for Anduril. This team supports the Business Lines and Divisions throughout the lifecycle of their product, from initial sustainment concept through delivery, installation, operation, repair and return. These service offerings also include providing technical publications, training, customer support, connectivity services and other value-added services. To the degree the Business elects, we accept the delegated responsibility for upfront and continued delivery of the committed service solutions. This team endeavors to provide the Business Lines, as our internal customers, shared mission services that are more efficient and cost effective than if they chose to provide them directly. By offering mission support capabilities and capacity that are not “core” to the Business, the Business can focus resources on addressing the next big need while we ensure existing commitments are met. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Head of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) to join our rapidly growing team in Columbus, OH or Costa Mesa, CA . In this role, you will be responsible for establishing and running the repair function for Anduril products and components. You will need to lay out the roadmap for product maintenance, leveraging the ground taken by various product teams to date, to enable the high volume and complexity of the fast-growing Anduril installed base. This will require working with the Business Lines - our internal customers - and their Production teams to isolate what makes their products (hardware, embedded software and related aftermarket services) unique and what they have in common that can result in scalable efficiencies. Anduril moves quickly, so “building the plane while flying” rules apply. If you are someone who knows how what great MRO organizations need, where they go wrong and want to create one from a clean sheet using all your lessons learned, then this role is for you. WHAT YOU’LL DO Establish MRO function for Anduril; aggregate the limited existing team, provide strategic and tactical direction, and build out team skills and capacity. Design and build the MRO organization (including staffing, footprint, tools and processes). Collaborate closely with Production (including manufacturing, supply chain, material planning, scheduling) to ensure material needs are met for the used/repaired product availability to support deployed equipment uptime commitments as well as sub-component material needs. Coordinate with supply chain and programs to manage subcontract component repairs, where applicable, and conduct insource/outsource decisions in support of business line priorities. Prioritize repair backlog, turn-around-time (TAT) and costs in support of all Divisions/Business Lines priorities REQUIRED
