The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
New Product Introduction (NPI): Own the transition of propulsion systems, actuators, and electrical/mechanical assemblies from prototype to high-rate production, ensuring manufacturability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Test Engineering: Develop and implement test plans, processes, and systems for validating mechanical, electromechanical, and propulsion subsystems during development, production, and final acceptance.
Manufacturing Process Development: Design, document, and validate scalable manufacturing and assembly processes. Introduce automation and tooling to optimize production efficiency and ensure consistency.
High-Rate Production Support: Work closely with production teams to scale manufacturing processes, troubleshoot issues, and optimize for high-yield, high-throughput production.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Collaborate with design engineers to optimize mechanical and electromechanical designs for manufacturability, assembly, and cost.
End-to-End Quality Control: Partner with quality engineering to define inspection and acceptance criteria. Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for production or field failures.
What they're looking for
- Experience with propulsion systems, electric motors, gearboxes, or: high-performance actuators in aerospace, automotive, or defense industries.
- Familiarity with environmental testing (vibration, thermal, shock) for mission-critical systems.
- Proficiency in automated manufacturing and assembly processes.
- Experience with defense or aerospace industry standards (e.g., AS9100, MIL-STD).
- Six Sigma certification and experience implementing lean manufacturing principles.
- Passion for delivering high-quality, mission-critical products at scale.
- Proactive and detail-oriented problem solver with a hands-on approach.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to operate seamlessly across cross-functional teams.
