About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of experience in a relevant field, preferably focused on one or more composite manufacturing methods.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Proficiency in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software; Siemens NX is preferred.
  • Experience with Microsoft Office and/or project management software.
  • Demonstrated in-kind or direct team leadership skills, supported by examples.
  • U.S. Person status is required to access export-controlled data.

Responsibilities

  • Work hands-on with technicians and other engineers to build novel designs ranging from Group 1 unmanned aerial vehicles to extra-large unmanned aerial vehicles, focusing on appropriate composite design and manufacturing methods.
  • Work with design engineering teams during the design phase to influence decisions that improve manufacturability before initial design release.
  • Build composite components and tooling hands-on with technicians and other engineers in close coordination with design engineering teams.
  • Write and execute manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, manufacturing bills of materials, quality plans, inspection requirements, and non-conformance documentation; complete work instructions, quality plans, and inspections alongside technicians and inspectors.
  • Serve as a conduit between engineering technical data packages and technicians to ensure composite hardware and tooling are manufactured as designed and analyzed.
  • Solve manufacturing problems in a schedule-driven environment under detailed specifications and requirements to achieve required quality and on-time delivery.
  • Develop manufacturing processes to lower risk as the product advances from prototype/low-rate initial production to full-rate production.
  • Work with program managers to inform critical decision points and ensure on-time delivery.
  • Lead root-cause and corrective-action activities with the quality team to eliminate production blockers and recurring issues.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience supporting aerospace, defense, automotive, and/or energetics facilities.
  • Experience working in an AS9100/NADCAP-accredited manufacturing facility.
  • Proficiency in Teamcenter for digital manufacturing processes.
  • Experience with multiple composite manufacturing processes, including filament winding, autoclave processing, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), prepregs, and hydraulic press processing.
  • Understanding of computer numerical control (CNC) machining operations and limitations, including 5-axis routers, lathes, and mills.

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.
