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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. The EW Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for Electromagnetic Warfare. This responsibility includes everything in the manufacturing value-chain, including, but not limited to, Design for Manufacturability work, tool design & selection, process creation & optimization, vendor sourcing & interaction, quality planning, and work documentation associated with the hardware that the Manufacturing Engineer owns.

As a Manufacturing Engineer within EW, you will be responsible for driving process improvements, ensuring the highest quality of production, and supporting the development and implementation of new products. You will play a crucial role in optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing costs, and increasing efficiencies on existing technologies while also developing new products and scaling to full scale production.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain that includes Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) for electro-mechanical assemblies
• Contribute to operational excellence with a strong continuous improvement mindset and leading impactful Kaizen events
• Be a strong partner with Product Quality Engineering to drive and support RCCA burndowns that tackle key issues both internally and externally to EW Production
• Collaborate with Design Engineering teams in early to late phases of the development process to provide DFx for smooth NPI transitions
• Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes
• Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
• Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production
• Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware
• Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Degree in a technical field preferred such as engineering, math, or a hard science
• 5+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware
• Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment
• Demonstrated ability to contribute to the delivery of electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment
• Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.) Work on personal or extracurricular projects is a plus.
• Prior experience working with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), or Oracle (ERP) or equivalents
• A genuine interest in manufacturing and thirst for learning
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with RF Products that require system AI&T (assembly, integration, and test)
• Exposure to or interest in scaling product testing and production.
• Hands-on experience with software & firmware flashing or end-of-line testing & troubleshooting
• Software scripting experience in any language
• Current active…
