About the role

Anduril Industries seeks a Chief Engineer for Fury Advanced Development & Prototyping to lead end-to-end prototype and first-article builds of autonomous aircraft. You will guide multi-disciplinary teams from fabrication to flight-ready integration on high-performance airframes. Based in Long Beach, CA, this leadership role demands hands-on excellence in manufacturing, DFM feedback, systems integration, and rapid problem solving on the factory floor with a view toward scalable production.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
