  • Work with the broader production team to solve complex issues and ensure customer demand is met.
  • Analyze metrics for continuous-improvement initiatives involving cost reduction, quality-issue reduction, and capacity increases.
  • Foster innovation, teamwork, and accountability within the manufacturing engineering product team.
  • Travel to suppliers and partner sites to perform initial sourcing, resolve ongoing production issues, and implement process procedures as required.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building successful production operations from scratch, often with little definition.
  • Harness and printed circuit board assembly fabrication experience, or demonstrated competency in mechanical system design and analysis.
  • Experience owning a complex bill of materials for an electromechanical product.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes including sheet metal, machining, and 3D printing.
  • Experience with NX and Teamcenter.

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.
