Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Recertification & Repair

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

We are looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to own the recertification and repair operation for our Dive-LD Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in Quonset, RI.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end manufacturing process for recertification, repair, and refurbishment/overhaul of returned AUVs and major subassemblies
• Lead intake and disposition of field returns: triage incoming units, drive failure analysis with Quality and Design Engineering, and partner with the Material Review Board (MRB) to disposition non-conforming hardware quickly and traceably
• Develop and maintain repair routings, work instructions, tooling, and inspection criteria specific to the recert/repair line , distinct from new-build flows
• Define and own the recertification test flow that gates a repaired or overhauled vehicle's return to service, in partnership with Test Engineering and Quality
• Close the feedback loop to Design and Sustaining Engineering: turn field failure data into prioritized design changes, ECRs, and process improvements
• Stand up planning, scheduling, and material flows for refurb/overhaul cycles, coordinating with Supply Chain on long-lead spares and obsolescence
• Apply Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other methodologies to reduce turnaround time, scrap, and rework on the recert/repair line
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including Design, Quality, Supply Chain, Test, and Field Service, to ensure repaired hardware meets the same standards as new production
• Mentor and support junior engineers and manufacturing technicians working the recert/repair line
• Stay abreast of technological advancements and industry trends in depot operations, sustainment, and reliability engineering to drive innovation in how we keep the fleet ready

Required Qualifications

• Degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science

• Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a fast-paced environment
• Demonstrated technical leadership skills with an expertise in manufacturing
• Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.)
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience standing up or running a recertification, repair, refurbishment, or depot-level operation for complex electromechanical systems
• Experience leading field return / RMA processes , intake, triage, failure analysis, and disposition of returned hardware
• Experience developing repair-specific routings, work instructions, and recertification test flows distinct from new-build production
• Familiarity with sustainment engineering practices: reliability data analysis, root cause / corrective action (RCCA), and closing the loop from field failures back to design
• Experience coordinating with Field Service or customer support teams on returned assets and warranty repair programs
• Experience in maritime robotics (AUVs, UUVs, USVs, subsea sensors)
• Experience working with electrical systems up to 400VDc
• Prior experience working with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), or Oracle (ERP) or equivalents
• A strong passion manufacturing and thirst for continuous improvement
• Experience with large scale high mix manufacturing at different stages of product maturity
