Anduril Industries is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to serve as the first line of defense on the Imaging production floor. This is a hands-on, floor-dedicated sustaining role focused on the assembly, integration, and test of discrete electromechanical and optomechanical systems.
You will embed on the production floor to rapidly respond to, diagnose, and resolve in-line production issues across assembly, integration, and test phases, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum. You will own the response process when the line goes down, triaging and driving closure on production downtime and non-conformance issues while coordinating with engineering, maintenance, quality, and supply chain teams to restore flow quickly.
Key responsibilities include managing digital line operations by handling day-to-day updates and troubleshooting within ERP and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to ensure accurate production tracking, data integrity, and inventory flow. You will perform rapid debugging, testing, and root-cause analysis (RCA) on failing hardware and processes, implementing containment and driving corrective and preventive actions while escalating systemic issues to design and quality teams.
You will partner hands-on with technicians and assemblers daily, capturing assembly friction points and feeding improvements back into process and design. You will create, update, and maintain clear work instructions, SOPs, and rework procedures, ensuring ECO/ECN change implementations are managed and executed on the production floor correctly and on time. Additionally, you will analyze line data to surface recurring failures and bottlenecks, driving incremental improvements to yield, throughput, and first-pass quality.
Anduril is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. The company's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Degree in a technical field such as mechanical, electrical, systems, or industrial engineering, or a related hard science
- 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting an active production line in manufacturing, production, process, sustainment, or industrial engineering
- Demonstrated, hands-on experience troubleshooting, testing, and assembling electromechanical hardware in a live production environment
- Demonstrated experience utilizing and managing data within MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP platforms to track yields, routing, and inventory
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience in aerospace/defense or another regulated, high-reliability industry, including familiarity with defense terminology and processes
- Exposure to ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality systems
- Familiarity with optical / opto-mechanical system integration and test
- Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment combined with mature-production rigor
- Familiarity with PLM and WMS platforms
