Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical (Dive-XL)New$196K

The opportunity

Dive-XL is Anduril's extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), built for ultra-long range and large modular payloads. It is the vehicle behind Ghost Shark, which we build in Sydney for the Royal Australian Navy.

What you'll do

  • Lead root cause on assembly problems, process deviations, tooling failures: and nonconforming parts, give the engineering disposition in MRB, and build the fix into the process

  • Be the first point of contact for technicians and supervisors on mechanical: build issues, and get line-down problems resolved quickly to hold schedule

  • Cut in engineering changes on the floor: update the manufacturing BOM in Teamcenter and the routings and work instructions in ArsenalOS, decide what happens to work in progress, and brief the technicians

  • Own the work instructions and SOPs for your assemblies, written so a: technician can build from them without you there

  • Design fixtures, lifting equipment and assembly tooling for large, heavy: structures in Siemens NX, and print jigs and shop aids in-house to cut cycle time and improve ergonomics

  • Track yield, throughput, scrap and labor hours, find the trends, and lead the projects that fix them

What they're looking for

  • Lay out workstations and material flow as the line comes up, and specify,: procure and commission the heavy equipment, robotics and automation that cut waiting, extra handling and rework
  • Drive DFM and DFA with the design team before drawings are released, and push: back on unbuildable features with build data
  • Use AI coding tools to build Python scripts, dashboards and small apps that: take manual steps out of daily work; you do not need to be a software engineer
  • Mentor early-career engineers and technicians on build methods, tooling and root cause
