## Description

Anduril Industries is seeking a Staff Manufacturing Engineer (Low Observable Systems) to support their Fury autonomous aircraft program at their Arsenal 1 facility in Ashville, OH.

The successful candidate will own both the manufacturing process engineering for low observable (LO) materials/coatings and the Material Review Board (MRB) disposition process for nonconforming material across LO and composite build lines.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Develop, qualify, and sustain manufacturing processes for low observable treatments, including surface preparation, RAM/RAS application, specialty coatings, and bonded composite structures.

- Serve as a voting/engineering member of the Material Review Board (MRB), leading root cause investigations and dispositioning nonconforming material.

- Author and maintain work instructions, process specifications, travelers, and inspection criteria for LO and coatings processes.

- Drive corrective and preventive action (CAPA) programs to close out nonconformances and prevent recurrence.

- Partner with Design, Quality, and Supply Chain to assess manufacturability and producibility of LO features early in the design cycle.

- Support first article inspection (FAI/AS9102), process validation, and statistical process control (SPC) for coating thickness, cure, adhesion, and RCS-relevant surface properties.

- Coordinate with NDI/NDT and quality inspection teams to define acceptance criteria for coating integrity, bond lines, and composite defects.

- Lead or support root cause/corrective action (RCCA) investigations using structured problem-solving.

- Own documentation and configuration control for LO/coatings specs, ensuring compliance with internal material specs and applicable military/industry standards.

- Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives to reduce scrap, rework, and cycle time on LO production lines.

- Support audits related to quality systems, MRB records, and LO process compliance.

**Required Qualifications:**

- Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical field.

- 3+ years of experience in aerospace/defense manufacturing, with direct exposure to low observable materials, coatings, composites, or RAM/RAS processes.

- Demonstrated experience participating in or leading a Material Review Board (MRB) process.

- Working knowledge of AS9100/ISO 9001 quality management systems and standard quality tools.

- Hands-on familiarity with coating application processes, cure cycles, surface prep, and adhesion/bond testing.

- Ability to read and author engineering drawings, work instructions, and process specifications.

- Strong root-cause problem-solving skills and comfort working directly on the manufacturing floor.

- Must be a U.S. person due to export control requirements.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Experience with radar cross-section (RCS) testing, RAM/RAS material characterization, or electromagnetic test methods.

- Prior work on classified or SAP low observable programs.

- Six Sigma Green/Black Belt certification.

- Experience with composite layup, autoclave/oven cure processing, and bonded structure repair.

- Familiarity with PLM/MRP/MES systems.

- Active DoD security clearance (Secret or higher).

**Salary Range:** $190,000-$252,000 USD

**Benefits:** Anduril offers a comprehensive benefits package, including top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
