About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, or a related technical field is required.
  • At least 3 years of experience in sourcing engineering, supplier engagement and development, or manufacturing/process engineering of composite structures is required.
  • Domain expertise in composite manufacturing processes, including layup, cure, trim/drill, bonding, and non-destructive inspection, is required.
  • Experience with AS9100 suppliers and First Article Inspection (AS9102) is required.
  • Ability to travel 15%–25% of the time, variable based on program needs, is required.
  • Ability to relocate if not already local to Ashville, Ohio, and work onsite is required.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance is required.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct supplier selection for composite materials, fabricated parts, and tooling using the approved supplier list.
  • Partner with strategic suppliers to ramp production through capacity and rate-readiness planning, cure (autoclave/out-of-autoclave) and non-destructive inspection capability assessments, should-cost/clean-sheet models, process qualification through clear statements of work, and design-for-manufacturability reviews with Engineering.
  • Drive development and consolidation of a manufacturing bill of materials with Quality and Manufacturing to ramp production at Arsenal-1 and with suppliers, maintaining high flexibility.
  • Manage composite tooling capital expenditures through production ramp.
  • Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply-network lead time and flexibility.
  • Complete the bill-of-materials risk assessment, including alternate material and supplier sourcing.
  • Ensure completion of all supplier and part qualifications, including First Article Inspection (FAI/AS9102), before production.
  • Manage composite material risks, including shelf life, out-time, cold-chain logistics, and minimum buys.
  • Lead cost-engineering activities to converge the bottoms-up cost curve to product cost and maximize total cost of ownership across the product lifecycle.
  • Manage ad hoc cost issues such as tariffs/import-export costs and raw-material inflation.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree or advanced technical degree in mechanical engineering is preferred.
  • Experience scaling a composite supply base from low-rate to rate production is preferred.
  • Experience with advanced sourcing activities, including serving as a commodity or sourcing manager, is preferred.
  • Experience in supplier development across technology, process, or supply chain is preferred.
  • Experience with aerospace material qualification, including allowables, equivalency, and NADCAP, is preferred.
  • Familiarity with developing aerostructures or airframe products in a production-ramp environment is preferred.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment is preferred.

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.
