Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The Senior Electrical Product Engineer is the primary electrical design engineering presence on the production floor, bridging the gap between design intent and production execution.
Key Responsibilities
Production Floor Engineering Support
- Serve as the primary electrical design engineering point of contact on the production floor for assigned programs and product lines
- Represent the design authority at Material Review Board (MRB) for electrical systems, working with Quality and Manufacturing to minimise production hold time without compromising product safety and integrity
- Resolve production process-blockers, design ambiguities, and schematic/drawing interpretation issues in real time, exercising engineering judgement within defined authority boundaries
- Provide rapid-response engineering support and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to Production, Quality, and Test teams for electrical nonconformance resolution, use-as-is/rework/scrap decisions, and repair dispositions
- Identify and escalate systemic electrical design issues to core Design Engineering teams with clear problem statements, data, and recommended corrective actions
Electrical Design Contribution
- Contribute to the design, development and integration of electrical systems and subsystems, maintaining the technical depth needed to hold disposition authority on the production floor
- Perform detailed electrical calculations, simulations and analysis (circuit analysis, power budgets, thermal derating, EMC/EMI) to support both design decisions and MRB dispositions
- Participate in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and contribute to system-level trade studies
Design Intent Translation & Multi-Site Support
- Support the translation of electrical design intent into production-executable work across multiple product versions, configurations, and manufacturing sites
- Support the stand-up and ramp of production at new or expanding manufacturing sites, ensuring electrical design engineering knowledge transfers effectively
- Raise and implement engineering changes to correct production issues that originate in the electrical design, through the Anduril configuration management and change process
Design to Production Interface
- Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering on work instruction (WI) development, tooling validation, and First Article Inspection (FAI) activities for electrical assemblies, communicating the design intent and acceptance criteria
- Own the resolution of EBOM discrepancies found in production for electrical assemblies, and give engineering input to Configuration Management and Manufacturing Engineering on PLM workflows, BOM reconciliation and work instruction tooling
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Metrics
- Maintain strong working relationships with Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Program Management to ensure aligned priorities and rapid issue resolution
- Collate and drive corrective actions on design-originated production issues, providing data-backed prioritisation to core Design Engineering teams
Key Competencies & Attributes
- Engineering Judgement: Technical depth in electrical and power systems combined with production pragmatism
- Design Authority Integrity: You protect product safety and integrity under schedule pressure, understand the limits of your delegated authority and escalate when you should
- Cross-Functional Influence: Credibility with both design engineers and production operators; able to speak both languages and bridge communication gaps
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Proven experience in a senior role within defence, tech or any fast-paced environment, driving successful electrical engineering projects from concept to market launch
- Expertise in electrical engineering principles, techniques, and technologies, with a track record of delivering innovative solutions
