Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
OUR VALUES
We are looking for a technical heavyweight to shape the physical backbone of how we build our products. You think in systems, not just rooms when you look at a line layout, you don't just ask whether it works today, you ask whether it serves where we're headed. You'll be the force multiplier for our Production Engineering team, pushing toward smarter, leaner infrastructure and layout decisions that buy us flexibility, cost savings, and speed. You thrive in ambiguity: you rarely get every input upfront, but you know how to work internal and external stakeholders to keep progress moving despite the gaps. You think in long horizons too master planning where engineering programs are best suited to live, and getting ahead of long-lead requirements before they become bottlenecks. And you hold people accountable external vendors and internal partners alike to deliver the data and rigor that every program request demands.
Lead the strategic design and build-out of the facilities components of the manufacturing/production pipeline, working hand-in-hand with Production Engineering to determine infrastructure requirements and line design. Navigate ambiguity by partnering with internal and external stakeholders to drive progress even when design inputs are incomplete. Support long-term master planning to determine where engineering programs are best located, getting ahead of long-lead requirements before they constrain the schedule. Challenge and pressure-test layouts against long-term objectives, ensuring programming and design serve where production is headed not just where it is today. Drive the manufacturing engineering team toward layout and engineering decisions that maximize flexibility, cost savings, throughput, and speed. Hold external vendors like architects, engineers, contractors and internal cross-functional partners accountable to providing the data needed to support program requests. Develop, implement, and govern production facility standards that ensure consistency, scalability, throughput, and quality across all sites. Design and deliver production environments that prioritize growth strategy, worker safety, and productivity across all spaces. Own the facilities scope of line build-out projects from concept through commissioning.
