Supplier Quality Data Analytics Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Supplier Quality Engineering team is responsible for ensuring that externally sourced components and assemblies meet Anduril's rigorous quality standards. The team works closely with suppliers, production, and engineering to drive corrective actions, monitor supplier performance, and continuously improve incoming material quality across Anduril's product portfolio. As the organization scales rapidly, data-driven decision making is critical to identifying trends, prioritizing supplier interventions, and measuring the effectiveness of quality programs.

As a Supplier Quality Data Analytics Engineer, you will be embedded within the Supplier Quality Engineering organization and serve as the team's dedicated analytics partner. You will build and maintain the data infrastructure, dashboards, and automated workflows that give supplier quality engineers real-time visibility into supplier performance, non-conformance trends, corrective action effectiveness, and incoming inspection results. Using Palantir's Foundry platform as your central resource, you will conduct ad-hoc analysis, produce interactive dashboards, and develop automated workflows that write back to our systems of record.

You will gain a deep understanding of supplier quality processes — from incoming inspection and SCAR management to supplier audits and approved supplier list governance — and craft tools that drive measurable improvements in supplier quality outcomes.

• Use SQL to transform raw ERP and QMS data extractions into structured datasets within a centralized Git Hub repository, with a focus on supplier quality metrics (PPM, DPMO, SCAR cycle time, lot acceptance rates)
• Use Palantir's Foundry platform to generate dashboards and automated workflows code repositories for supplier quality reporting
• Build and maintain supplier scorecards that aggregate quality, delivery, and responsiveness data to support supplier review boards and business decisions
• Work with Supplier Quality Engineers and managers to define key performance metrics (e.g., supplier PPM, SCAR closure rate, first pass yield) and implement systems for tracking over time
• Develop automated alerting and escalation workflows for non-conformance trends, repeat defects, and at-risk suppliers
• Eliminate repetitious processes — such as manual inspection data compilation, SCAR status tracking, and supplier report generation — with programmatic automation
• Manage cross-functional projects with clear and concise communication on timelines, partnering with supply chain analytics, production quality, and engineering teams
• Assess and incorporate external data sources that could bring valuable insight to supplier quality risk management
• Educate supplier quality engineers with training and documentation on analytics tools, and drive user adoption through a continual feedback loop
• Embed AI into workflows via Palantir's Foundry platform to help identify patterns in non-conformance data, predict…
