Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Manufacturing Automation team is responsible for designing, integrating, and deploying automated manufacturing systems across Anduril factories at national scale.
In this role, you will develop automated solutions to production processes in partnership with design and manufacturing teams, from concept through production. You will drive design for manufacturing and design for assembly (DFM/DFA) using automation fundamentals to develop products ready for high-rate production. Key responsibilities include conducting automation audits of current production capabilities to identify improvements in throughput, quality, cost, and safety; designing, developing, and implementing robust, efficient, and high-quality automated manufacturing processes; and specifying, designing, procuring, and validating tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing equipment.
You will develop manufacturing documentation including work instructions, process flow diagrams, and control plans. You will conduct root cause analysis for manufacturing defects, non-conformances, or process inefficiencies, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions. Additional responsibilities include evaluating and implementing new manufacturing technologies and automation methodologies, managing projects related to manufacturing process improvement and capacity expansion, and providing technical support and training to production teams on new processes and equipment.
Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real-time, 3D command and control center. The company is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
**REQUIREMENTS:**
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
- 4+ years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering, with a focus on automation
- Experience with CAD/CAM software, preferably NX or similar
- Solid DFM/DFA knowledge and experience applying it to automated production
- Familiarity with automated manufacturing technologies (robotics, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, automated inspection)
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
**PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:**
- 6+ years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering with a focus on automation
- Experience integrating automation, robotics, or advanced metrology systems (e.g., CMM, optical scanning) into manufacturing workflows
- Experience designing and fabricating tooling, jigs, and fixtures
- Experience with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies
- Owned end-to-end equipment development and implementation
