Requirements
  • Degree in a technical field such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, math, or a hard science.
  • 5+ years of Operations experience in areas: Process Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Strategic Sourcing or in design of electromechanical hardware.
  • Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment.
  • Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.) Work on personal or extracurricular projects is a plus.
  • A genuine interest in Operations and thirst for driving improvements.
Responsibilities
  • Own the manufacturing value chain for a certain set of products both technical and commercial operations; ensuring the capability to produce at needed scale.
  • Evaluate, plan, and prioritize long-term and short-term supply chain, production and test optimizations to ensure capability and reliability of value stream to meet business production output goals & business objectives.
  • Effectively develop and communicate business cases to support vertical integration or value stream diversification opportunities where strategic supply partnerships will accelerate the scalability of production output and product development.
  • Continuously evaluate make vs buy decisions for sub-assemblies in the value stream; break the system down into logical subassemblies and process flows resulting in a clear approach to maximize total cost of ownership and production capability & reliability (lead time & flexibility).
  • Work with contract manufacturers within the critical product value stream to develop and execute repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production and testing.
  • Be on site at current and future operations partners managing technical and commercial needs for the value stream, solve ongoing production issues, improve capacity and evaluating potential partners.
  • Work with technicians and other engineers (SMEs) hands-on, building prototype and production product and supporting hardware for internal and external use.
  • Create documentation required for successfully manufacturing hardware at scale.
  • Reduce complexity: commonality optimization & component/supplier rationalization.

Anduril Industries develops advanced autonomous systems for military and security purposes, focusing on providing solutions to government and commercial clients, particularly in the defense sector.
