About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science is required.
  • At least 5 years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware.
  • Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment.
  • Demonstrated experience integrating large or high-complexity assemblies or subassemblies.
  • Experience with configuration management and change control processes, including CCB, E&O, and effectivity dates.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

Responsibilities

  • Leverage New Product Introduction expertise to transition electromechanical products from prototype to high-volume production while optimizing design for manufacturability and assembly and supply-chain scalability.
  • Design and implement efficient manufacturing processes, owning a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for high-complexity products.
  • Lead and coordinate projects to install new manufacturing systems and communicate project progress and manufacturing changes to stakeholders.
  • Use automation and integrated workflows to streamline manufacturing processes.
  • Develop process flows that break complex assemblies into logical part flows of subassemblies and subprocesses.
  • Write documentation needed to manufacture hardware at scale, including work instructions, quality plans, and inspection requirements.
  • Work with contract manufacturers across printed circuit board assembly fabrication, metallic manufacturing, and assembly to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development and scaled production.
  • Travel to suppliers to perform initial sourcing, resolve ongoing production issues, and implement quality procedures.
  • Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication, and inspection.
  • Collaborate with Quality Assurance, Design Engineering, technicians, and program managers to establish quality standards, inspection processes, design for manufacturability, troubleshooting, and program milestones.

Desired Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success scaling product testing and production from tens or hundreds to hundreds or thousands.
  • Hands-on experience with software and firmware flashing, end-of-line testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop, execute, and manage high-fidelity automated test procedures at component and system levels.
  • Experience with large-scale, high-mix manufacturing at different stages of product maturity.
  • Prior experience with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), Oracle (ERP), or equivalent tools.
  • Familiarity with establishing test ecosystems that de-risk hardware and meet target reliability levels.
  • Experience managing large bills of materials and ownership of multiple products or configurations.

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.
