Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience, ideally with a background in designing and developing electronic and/or mechanical devices.
  • Experience in advanced sourcing activities, including work as a commodity or sourcing manager.
  • Experience in supplier development across technology, process, and supply chain.
  • Experience engaging suppliers early, before product or engineering requirements are finalized.
  • Domain expertise in value or procurement engineering, or total-cost-of-ownership work at the component and product levels.
  • Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
  • U.S. Person status is required because the position requires access to export-controlled data.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct supplier selection for a specific product using the approved supplier list.
  • Partner with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development through concept scoping to solidify requirements, feature trade-offs and trade tables, should-cost and clean-sheet models, and joint design development through clear statements of work.
  • Drive development and consolidation of a manufacturing bill of materials with Quality and Manufacturing to ramp production internally and with suppliers while maintaining high flexibility.
  • Ensure all new product introduction component procurement is completed on time and correctly to scale.
  • Manage capital expenditures throughout new product introduction.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply-network lead time and flexibility.
  • Complete bill-of-materials risk assessments, including alternate component sourcing.
  • Ensure all vendor component qualifications are completed before production.
  • Reduce complexity through commonality optimization and component and supplier rationalization.
  • Lead cost-engineering activities to converge the bottom-up cost curve to product cost and maximize total cost of ownership across the product lifecycle.
  • Manage ad hoc cost issues, including tariffs, import/export costs, and cost inflation.

Desired Qualifications

  • A bachelor's degree in engineering, such as a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, or another related technical degree.

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.
