Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Core Technology

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

The Core Tech Manufacturing Team at Anduril seeks a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to drive the end-to-end manufacturing development and production of high-performance hardware across critical Core Technology domains.

Responsibilities

• Leverage expertise in New Product Introduction (NPI) to seamlessly transition complex electromechanical systems from prototype to scalable production, optimizing for manufacturability, performance, and supply chain robustness.
• Collaborate intimately with Design Engineering teams early in the development process, providing critical feedback for Design For Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA) specifically for components and integrated systems.
• Design and develop novel tooling, jigs, and fixturing for precision assembly, alignment, and testing of complex Core Technology hardware.
• Develop robust, repeatable process flows for complex assemblies, encompassing intricate operations specific to battery integration, actuation, or energetics.
• Define and implement Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) and Routings within MES and ERP systems.
• Write comprehensive manufacturing documentation, including detailed work instructions, quality control plans, inspection requirements, and environmental test procedures.
• Design and validate robust test methodologies and equipment for critical performance characteristics and environmental qualification of Core Technology systems.
• Work hands-on with technicians and other engineers, actively building, troubleshooting, and validating prototype and production Core Technology hardware.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of manufacturing or design engineering experience, specifically with high-reliability mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical components or systems.
• Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver complex hardware solutions in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
• Demonstrated in-kind or direct team leadership skills, with backing examples of guiding projects or mentoring junior engineers.
• Demonstrated ability to set up and optimize manufacturing environments, including MBOM creation, MES integration, and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) for complex hardware production.
• Proficient with Siemens NX for CAD and Teamcenter for PLM software.
• Hands-on experience physically manufacturing hardware.
• Strong interest in manufacturing high-performance defense hardware and a commitment to continuous technical mastery.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with control systems, servo motors, or high-performance electromechanical components in aerospace, marine, or robotics.
• Experience with harsh environment manufacturing considerations.
• Familiarity with aerospace, marine, or specific battery/energetics qualification standards.
• Software scripting for automation, data analysis, or testbed control.
• Experience with advanced manufacturing processes.
