Anduril Industries is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to serve as the first line of defense on the Imaging production floor. This hands-on, floor-embedded sustaining role focuses on the assembly, integration, and test of discrete electromechanical and optomechanical systems for advanced defense technology.
You will rapidly respond to and resolve in-line production issues, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum. Key responsibilities include triaging and closing production downtime and non-conformance issues by coordinating across engineering, maintenance, quality, and supply chain teams. You'll own day-to-day digital line operations, managing ERP and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to ensure accurate production tracking, data integrity, and inventory flow.
The role requires performing rapid debugging, testing, and root-cause analysis on failing hardware and processes, implementing containment measures, and driving corrective and preventive actions. You'll escalate systemic issues to design and quality teams while partnering hands-on with technicians and assemblers to capture friction points and feed improvements back into process and design.
Additional responsibilities include creating and maintaining clear work instructions, SOPs, and rework procedures; ensuring ECO/ECN change implementations are managed correctly on the production floor; and analyzing line data to surface recurring failures and bottlenecks, driving incremental improvements to yield, throughput, and first-pass quality.
Required qualifications include a degree in mechanical, electrical, systems, or industrial engineering (or related hard science), 5+ years of hands-on production line support experience, demonstrated troubleshooting and assembly experience with electromechanical hardware, and MES/ERP platform proficiency. Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred qualifications include aerospace/defense or regulated industry experience, familiarity with ISO 9001/AS9100 quality systems, optical/opto-mechanical system integration and test experience, and background in high-growth manufacturing environments.
