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
- Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
- What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
- It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
YOUR MISSION
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.
