Anduril Industries

Scaling fast

Defense and Space Manufacturing Orange, CA Watching 7,375 employees Updated as of Jul 18

The read

Anduril added 131 and lost 11 over 90 days — net +120 — with engineering claiming 99 of those hires, the largest share by far. Operations (44) and recruiting (29) also grew. The company brought in five Chief Engineer-level hires across hardware, AI, and production (including "Fury" production), signaling deep technical scaling. Departures included a VP-level Head of SRE to Rune Technologies, a Head of Production to Calnetix, and a Director of Propulsion to Valar Atomics. Talent flowed in from Meta, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, and Blue Origin — a mix of tech and traditional defense — while exits scattered to smaller defense-tech plays and industrials.
