Manufacturing Engineer

About Andrenam

We’re building sonar and sensing systems that bring light to the last dark domain: the ocean. Our team includes alumni from SpaceX, Anduril, ABL, Palantir and Qualia. We build full-stack—from physics to perception to product—with speed, elegance, and an unwavering commitment to the mission.

We believe the maritime domain will define the next century of economics, geopolitics, and global security. We're here to shape it.

Andrenam is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to help grow and scale our development builds into low-volume manufacture. You'll close the gap between a design that works in the lab and a process that builds it reliably each time.

We're a small team growing quickly. Many of our processes are still being established, so you'll have a direct hand in defining how we build, not just executing a process someone else already wrote.

• You will work side by side with technicians and design engineers on the floor, closing the gap between what a design allows and what a build needs to help make a better product, faster.
• You will translate EBOMs into MBOMs and routings, and own the work instructions, fixtures, and tooling a technician needs to build a unit correctly the first time.
• You will define and adjust assembly work centers based on takt time, work content, and station balancing as build rates increase.
• You will give design engineers DFM feedback before a part is released, not after it turns into a build problem.
• You will identify product and process deficiencies on the floor and drive the fix, whether that's a design change, a new fixture, or a revised work instruction.
• You will define and implement quality requirements and inspection criteria for new and evolving assemblies.
• You will design production tooling, jigs, and fixtures to support precision assembly and test.

• 2+ years of experience in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, or a similar engineering discipline.
• Strong DFM (Design for Manufacture) fundamentals.
• Proficiency creating MBOMs from EBOMs.
• A hands-on approach. You're as comfortable on the floor as you are at a workstation.

• High familiarity with electrical and mechanical assembly, plastic part manufacture, and/or PCB manufacture.
• Startup or collegiate team project experience (Formula SAE, Rocket Club, or similar).
• Proficiency with Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
• Experience designing production tooling.
• Lean/Six Sigma experience or certification.
