The opportunity

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

  • Hands-on experience with control systems, servo motors, or high-performance: electromechanical components in aerospace, marine, or robotics.
  • Experience with harsh environment manufacturing considerations (e.g.,: sealing, corrosion prevention, vibration isolation, lubrication).
  • Familiarity with aerospace (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-810) or marine: environmental testing and qualification standards.
  • Software scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for automation, data analysis, or testbed control.
  • Experience with advanced manufacturing processes like precision grinding,: gear cutting, or specialized surface treatments for critical components.
