The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • Lead, hire, and develop a team of ~4–5 manufacturing engineers responsible: for on-time delivery of development and production units across the Maneuvers portfolio, including owning performance management, career development, and technical mentorship.

  • Own the end-to-end manufacturing lifecycle for vehicle-integrated and: larger-scale Sentry products — from SRR through prototyping, productionization, rate production, and sustainment.

  • Set and execute a portfolio-level manufacturing strategy that flexes between: low-rate, high-complexity vehicle integrations and short-integration, high-volume programs (10–100x higher throughput).

  • Partner with design engineering from earliest concept phases (SRR/PDR) to: drive Design for Manufacturability, integration, and serviceability into vehicle-based systems before designs are locked.

  • Act as the manufacturing subject matter expert for vehicle-level integration,: including mechanical mounting and structures, harnessing and avionics install, powertrain/auxiliary system interfaces, and final assembly and functional checkout.

  • Own the documentation stack required to manufacture and sustain: vehicle-integrated products at scale — MBOMs, work instructions, integration procedures, torque and inspection requirements, and configuration management artifacts.

What they're looking for

  • Develop differentiated production and test methodologies appropriate to each: program's volume profile — from build-to-order integration lines for low-rate platforms to flow-based, takt-driven lines for higher-volume products.
  • Establish and lead the sustainment engineering approach for fielded systems,: including field-return diagnosis, ECO/retrofit execution, spares provisioning support, and continuous improvement of in-service platforms.
  • Uphold and advise on quality management and business application programs as: they pertain to manufacturing within the Maneuvers portfolio.
  • Facilitate make-versus-buy decisions for vehicle platforms, major integrated: subsystems, and complex assemblies; coordinate with internal supply chain teams to qualify and manage vendors including vehicle OEMs, upfitters, and integration partners.
