Full Job Description
ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company on a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities. By applying the technology and business model of today's most innovative companies to defense, we are changing how military systems are designed, built, and sold-powered by Lattice OS, our AI-driven operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command-and-control center. Our Imaging business line designs and builds advanced electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems-cameras, sensors, and payloads-that power persistent surveillance, air defense, and precision targeting. Imaging has moved its flagship products into Low-Rate and Full-Rate Production (LRIP/FRP), building hundreds of units each year. This role partners with program, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to translate business activity into revenue, COGS, and margin on the P&L.
ABOUT THE JOB

This role is at the Senior Financial Analyst level. Supporting the Imaging business line, you will own product and program financial management, income statement and balance sheet forecasting, and financial reporting across multiple products and programs. Partnering closely with program management, manufacturing, supply chain, and business line leadership, you will explain financial performance and variance analysis at the contract, product, and per-unit level to cross-functional teams and senior leadership. Experience tracing work orders, bills of material, and standard costs through manufacturing and ERP systems to understand how production flows onto the P&L is a plus.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Own rolling monthly forecasts, working closely with key engineering stakeholders (Product, Program, and Engineering Leads)
  • Work with program management to develop and maintain ETC forecasts and EAC integrity
  • Analyze and monitor contract and product profit margins
  • Deliver monthly internal management reporting through presentations and written communications
  • Income statement and balance sheet forecasting by contract and business line
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual variance analysis at multiple accounting levels
  • Build reports and automated dashboards in FP&A and ERP tools (Oracle, Anaplan, Foundry)
  • Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, and program teams across the full work order lifecycle-from work definitions and bills of material through build associations, WIP, and finished goods-to ensure production activity is captured and costed accurately
  • Analyze production cost performance and variances-standard vs. actual cost, purchase price and material variances, labor and overhead, scrap and rework, and inventory adjustments-and trace anomalies to their root cause in work order and BOM data
  • Translate the build plan and Clear-to-Build / material availability position into revenue and COGS forecasts
  • Support monthly and quarterly production financial reviews and quarterly planning, including per-unit P&L reporting by product
  • Ad hoc support and special projects
  • Drive continuous improvement in financial reporting tools, systems, and procedures
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years (Senior Financial Analyst) of experience as a financial analyst or in a related finance/accounting role
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Finance, Accounting, or related field
  • DoD and/or tech industry experience (preferred)
  • Experience in production, manufacturing, or cost finance-work orders, standard costing, bills of material, inventory, and production variance analysis-ideally in a hardware, manufacturing, or defense environment (preferred)
  • Familiarity with ERP and EPM systems (e.g., Oracle, Oracle EPM) and the data flowing between the production floor and the general ledger
  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong understanding of financial systems, data management, and complex modeling
  • Proven ability to work effectively in a team environment
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and presentation skills
  • Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
