## Description

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

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. We're seeking a Quality Inspector to serve as a critical quality gatekeeper for radar hardware, with a primary focus on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and RF subassemblies.

**Responsibilities**

- Perform detailed inspection of PCBAs, RF subassemblies, and cable assemblies to IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 standards for workmanship, solder quality, and conformance to engineering drawings.

- Conduct incoming, inline and EOL inspection of purchased PCBs, RF components, and materials to verify conformance to drawings, specifications, and purchase order requirements before release to production.

- Perform measurements using calibrated equipment (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, microscopes) and support equipment calibration and material shelf-life programs.

- Verify assemblies match the latest engineering revisions and BOMs, and document inspection results in the ERP/MES system.

- Identify and document non-conformances, support Material Review Board (MRB) disposition, and participate in root-cause and corrective action (8D, RCCA, or equivalent).

- Contribute to the development and refinement of inspection plans, work instructions, and acceptance criteria alongside Quality and Manufacturing Engineering.

- Support internal and external audits and drive continuous-improvement projects that raise quality without unnecessary process overhead.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, engineering, and supplier quality to resolve quality issues and drive process improvements.

**Required Qualifications**

- 3+ years of quality inspection experience in an electronics manufacturing environment, with a minimum of 2 years inspecting PCBAs or electronic assemblies.

- Hands-on experience inspecting electronic and RF assemblies (PCBs, wire harnesses, power supplies, or microwave/RF components) and using RF testing Equipment (VNAs, Oscilloscopes, SA, Multimeter, etc.).

- Current or prior IPC-A-610 and/or IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification.

- Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, electrical schematics, wire run lists, and detailed work instructions.

- Experience with incoming/receiving inspection and precision measuring instruments, including microscopic visual inspection.

- Strong attention to detail with the confidence to make difficult reject calls when product reliability is at stake.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret clearance; U.S. citizenship required.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Experience in aerospace, defense, or radar/RF hardware production environments.

- J-STD-001 soldering inspection certification or equivalent.

- Familiarity with RF-specific assemblies , waveguide, antenna arrays, or microwave component integration.

- Experience in a facility operating under AS9100 or ISO 9001 QMS.

- Associate or technical degree in a related field.

- Experience with ECAD tools (e.g., Altium) for reviewing designs during inspection.

- Practical experience with high-reliability harness and circuit board automated testing.

**Benefits** At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you're supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
