Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
Anduril's Rocket Motor Systems group is seeking a Sr Quality Engineer to join our team in McHenry, Mississippi. The Rocket Motor Systems team designs, develops, and manufactures next-generation solid rocket motors for defense and space applications at Anduril.
As a Sr. Quality Engineer, you will work inside and outside the organization to define, develop and execute processes that deliver reliable products. The right person for this role has expert knowledge of manufacturing, test, quality assurance, and quality planning, with drive for continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement scalable quality processes for new solid rocket motor programs, from initial design through qualification and acceptance testing, ensuring quality requirements are embedded at each development gate rather than applied retroactively.
- Define and own the quality framework for test operations, including static fire, component-level, and subscale motor testing - establishing standardized procedures for test readiness reviews, test execution, and post-test data review.
- Engage directly with test facility instrumentation and data acquisition systems to validate measurement chains and ensure sensor selection, placement, calibration, and sampling rates produce data with quantified measurement uncertainty.
- Lead root cause and corrective action investigations for test anomalies, nonconformances, and off-nominal motor performance using structured methodologies.
- Support the buildout and qualification of new test facilities and manufacturing cells by defining quality infrastructure requirements.
- Own the quality data architecture for test campaigns, ensuring that test parameters, environmental conditions, and material traceability are captured in a structured, searchable format.
- Represent quality engineering in design reviews, test readiness reviews, and milestone gate reviews, providing independent assessment of risk and readiness.
- Collaborate with design engineering during the development lifecycle to flow quality requirements into drawings, specifications, and acceptance criteria.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, Quality Management, or a related technical field.
- 7+ years of progressive experience in Quality Engineering, with a significant portion in a Test Quality or Research & Development Quality role.
- Demonstrated expertise in interpreting and implementing industry quality standards and customer-specific flow-down requirements.
- Strong proficiency in quality tools and methodologies.
- Experience with Production Part Approval Process or equivalent qualification methodologies.
- Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings, specifications, and contractual documents.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
- Proven ability to lead, drive initiatives autonomously, and make sound decisions in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI and automation tools to streamline quality processes.
- Must be able to obtain a Federal Explosives License through the BATFE.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
