Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer focused on Avionics to join our dynamic Manufacturing team. This role is pivotal in rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware, which includes static equipment, moving ground equipment, and flight vehicles. The Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for overseeing the entire manufacturing value chain, which encompasses Design for Manufacturability work, tool design and selection, process creation and optimization, vendor sourcing and interaction, quality planning, and the documentation associated with the hardware they own. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of holistic ownership in solving technical challenges through creative, physical solutions, either through personal manufacturing or oversight in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. In this role, you will own a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for specific products, developing novel tooling solutions for the fabrication and assembly of structural parts. You will also be responsible for creating process flows that break down large, complex assemblies into logical part flows of subassemblies and sub-processes. Writing documentation necessary for successful large-scale manufacturing, such as work instructions, quality plans, and inspection requirements, will be a key part of your responsibilities. Additionally, you will collaborate with contract manufacturers across various disciplines to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development and large-scale production. Troubleshooting and conducting root cause investigations of system-level and piece-part electrical failures will also be part of your duties, along with hands-on work with technicians and other engineers to build prototype hardware. You will contribute to the mechanical or electrical design of end-customer hardware, including interconnects, board fabrication, and inspection, and may need to travel to suppliers for initial sourcing, resolving ongoing production issues, and implementing quality procedures.
