NPI Engineer

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

As an NPI Engineer, you will be the vital technical bridge connecting our Product Development (R&D) team, the Production Department, and our external contract manufacturers.

Your mission is to take ambiguity, incomplete designs, and early prototypes from R&D and translate them into solid, high-yield, and repeatable builds that can be seamlessly scaled in production.

Responsibilities

• Bridge the Gap: Act as the technical anchor between R&D, test engineering, production, contract manufacturers, finance, and legal.
• Manage Product Data: Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and drive the Engineering Release and Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes using our PLM systems.
• Lead Scale Up & Validation: Design and execute product and process validations to prove that a design built once on a desk can be successfully built by the hundreds on the production floor.
• Active Project Ownership: Partner with experienced engineering mentors to run prototyping, initial engineering builds, and design verification.
• Collaborate in Agile Environments: Attend product development SCRUMs and cross-functional meetings, keeping all stakeholders aligned on schedule, quality, and technical requirements.
• Optimize Manufacturing: Analyze existing products and processes for failure analysis, identifying opportunities for design-for-manufacturability (DFMA) and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Education: Degree in Electronic, Mechatronic, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
• Experience: 3 to 5 years of experience in the electronics industry, specifically working with printed circuit boards (PCBs/PCBAs), cables, fan assemblies, and complex electromechanical integrations.
• Systems Savvy: Proven experience managing data within PLM systems such as PTC Windchill or Teamcentre.
• Standards & Validation: Solid working experience in an ISO9001 certified environment, with a strong grasp of product and process validation methodologies.
• The "T-Shaped" Engineer: You possess a broad understanding of multiple business domains (from hardware engineering to supply chain and finance) alongside deep technical competence in electronics manufacturing.
• Assertive Communicator: You are articulate and have the confidence to "stand your ground."
