About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science.
  • At least 5 years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver electromechanical hardware creatively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership skills and manufacturing expertise.
  • Hands-on experience physically manufacturing hardware through machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, or other means.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end manufacturing process for recertification, repair, and refurbishment or overhaul of returned autonomous underwater vehicles and major subassemblies.
  • Lead intake and disposition of field returns by triaging incoming units, driving failure analysis with Quality and Design Engineering, and partnering with the Material Review Board to disposition non-conforming hardware quickly and traceably.
  • Develop and maintain repair routings, work instructions, tooling, and inspection criteria specific to the recertification and repair line, distinct from new-build flows.
  • Define and own the recertification test flow that gates a repaired or overhauled vehicle's return to service, in partnership with Test Engineering and Quality.
  • Close the feedback loop to Design and Sustaining Engineering by turning field failure data into prioritized design changes, engineering change requests, and process improvements.
  • Establish planning, scheduling, and material flows for refurbishment and overhaul cycles, coordinating with Supply Chain on long-lead spares and obsolescence.
  • Apply Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other methodologies to reduce turnaround time, scrap, and rework on the recertification and repair line.
  • Coordinate with Design, Quality, Supply Chain, Test, and Field Service teams to ensure repaired hardware meets the same standards as new production.
  • Mentor and support junior engineers and manufacturing technicians working on the recertification and repair line.
  • Monitor advancements and industry trends in depot operations, sustainment, and reliability engineering to improve fleet readiness.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience standing up or running a recertification, repair, refurbishment, or depot-level operation for complex electromechanical systems.
  • Experience leading field return or return merchandise authorization processes, including intake, triage, failure analysis, and disposition of returned hardware.
  • Experience developing repair-specific routings, work instructions, and recertification test flows distinct from new-build production.
  • Familiarity with sustainment engineering practices, including reliability data analysis, root cause and corrective action, and closing the loop from field failures back to design.
  • Experience coordinating with Field Service or customer support teams on returned assets and warranty repair programs.
  • Experience in maritime robotics, including autonomous underwater vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles, or subsea sensors.
  • Experience working with electrical systems up to 400 V DC.
  • Prior experience with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (product lifecycle management), Oracle (enterprise resource planning), or equivalent tools.
  • Experience with large-scale, high-mix manufacturing at different stages of product maturity.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
