Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities through advanced technology, AI, autonomy, and sensor fusion. The Voyager team specializes in cutting-edge computing and communication solutions for network-edge environments, integrating enterprise networking with robust hardware and software platforms built for demanding operational contexts.
As an NPI (New Product Introduction) Engineer, you will serve as the critical technical bridge connecting Product Development (R&D), Production, and external contract manufacturers. Your mission is to translate ambiguous designs and early prototypes from R&D into solid, high-yield, repeatable production builds that scale reliably. You will work with next-generation processors and cutting-edge technology, playing a key role in delivering high-stakes defense hardware programs.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as technical anchor between R&D, test engineering, production, contract manufacturers, finance, and legal teams
- Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and drive Engineering Release and Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes using PLM systems
- Design and execute product and process validations to ensure designs built at prototype scale can be successfully manufactured at production volume
- Partner with experienced engineering mentors on prototyping, initial engineering builds, and design verification; start with simpler products (radio brackets, accessories) and progress to autonomous ownership of major product lines
- Attend product development SCRUMs and cross-functional meetings to keep stakeholders aligned on schedule, quality, and technical requirements
- Analyze existing products and processes for failure analysis, identifying design-for-manufacturability (DFMA) opportunities and continuous improvement initiatives
Required Qualifications:
- Degree in Electronic, Mechatronic, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
- 3 to 5 years of experience in the electronics industry, specifically with printed circuit boards (PCBs/PCBAs), cables, fan assemblies, and complex electromechanical integrations
- Proven experience managing data within PLM systems such as PTC Windchill or Teamcentre
- Solid working experience in an ISO 9001 certified environment with strong grasp of product and process validation methodologies
- "T-shaped" engineer profile: broad understanding of multiple business domains (hardware engineering, supply chain, finance) alongside deep technical competence in electronics manufacturing
- Articulate communicator with confidence to professionally push back when designs are not optimized for assembly; ability to collaborate with R&D while advocating for manufacturability
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with MRP systems such as Oracle or SAP Business One
