Anduril Industries

Scaling fast

Defense and Space Manufacturing Orange, CA Watching 2,500 employees Updated as of Jun 24

The read

Anduril shed 13 net heads over 90 days (38 out, 25 in), driven by sharp attrition at the top: departures include a Chief Solution Engineer to NODA AI, a Chief Engineer to Raytheon, and two VP-level production leads to TK Elevator and Calnetix. The firm backfilled with three Chief Engineer hires and promoted two internal engineers to the same title, signaling a push to stabilize technical leadership after the exits. Engineering remains two-thirds of all activity (43 moves), while leadership grew fastest as a function—likely reflecting the replacement effort.
