Senior Product Sourcing Engineer, GeneralNew$194K

The opportunity

At Anduril, our Product Sourcing Engineers are the critical link between engineering design and supply chain execution — making sure our hardware is manufacturable, cost-effective, and ready to scale from day one. You'll operate in a fast-paced environment alongside design,…

What you'll do

  • Shape the Design Early: Embed with Design Engineering during concept and prototype phases to run technical reviews, drive DFM/DFA, and align design intent with what suppliers can actually build at rate.

  • Qualify the Supply Base: Evaluate and select global suppliers based on technical capability, process maturity, quality systems, and capacity to deliver complex assemblies against aggressive schedules.

  • Own the Cost Curve: Lead should-cost analyses, teardowns, and process assessments to expose cost drivers and drive design-to-cost initiatives without compromising performance, reliability, or margin.

  • Land NPI into Production: Run the technical transition from NPI into serial production — first-article inspections, PPAP, yield ramp, and resolution of early-stage manufacturing issues at the supplier floor.

  • De-Risk the Build: Identify technical single points of failure, qualify alternate processes or sources, and drive ECOs and corrective actions to unblock supplier-facing build issues before they hit the program.

  • Experience: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, or a: related engineering discipline, with 3+ years in a hybrid engineering / sourcing / supply chain role delivering hardware into production.

What they're looking for

  • Manufacturing Process Depth: Strong working knowledge of the manufacturing processes relevant to your commodity and their cost drivers — able to walk a supplier floor and identify what's real, what's optimistic, and what will fail at scale.
  • Drawings & GD&T: Fluent in engineering drawings, schematics, and CAD models, with solid GD&T instincts to reconcile design tolerances with supplier process capability.
  • Supplier Engagement & Root-Cause: Track record of working shoulder-to-shoulder with suppliers to troubleshoot fab issues, improve yield, and drive rigorous root-cause corrective action (8D / CAPA).
  • Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
