Staff Manufacturing Engineer, ActuatorsPosted today

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

What you'll do

• Serve as a primary technical driver for NPI initiatives, transitioning: precision mechanical actuators and electromechanical systems from prototype to scalable production, architecting solutions for manufacturability, performance, and supply chain robustness.

• Act as the principal manufacturing interface with Design Engineering,: providing critical and influential feedback for Design For Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA) specifically for actuator components and integrated systems.

• Architect, design, and oversee implementation of novel tooling, jigs, and: fixturing for precision actuator assembly, alignment, and testing, setting best practices.

• Establish and continuously optimize robust, repeatable process flows for: complex actuator assemblies, encompassing intricate operations like bearing installation, gear train assembly, sensor integration, and sealing, setting benchmarks for manufacturing excellence.

• Strategically define, implement, and optimize Manufacturing Bill of Materials: (MBOM) and Routings within MES and ERP systems, specifically for actuator sub-assemblies and final product builds.

• Drive the development and standardization of comprehensive manufacturing: documentation, including detailed work instructions, quality control plans, inspection requirements, and environmental test procedures for high-reliability actuators.

What they're looking for

• Design, validate, and strategically implement robust test methodologies and: equipment for critical actuator performance characteristics (e.g., torque, speed, precision) and environmental qualification (e.g., vibration, thermal, ingress protection).
• Provide deep hands-on technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and: technicians during prototype builds, troubleshooting, and production validation of actuator hardware, fostering technical excellence.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• + years of progressive manufacturing or design engineering experience,: specifically with precision mechanical components, electromechanical hardware, or motion control systems.
