Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced autonomous systems, AI, and computer vision. The Reliability Engineering team ensures these systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance across the complete product lifecycle—from concept design through production and fielded operations.
In this role, you will be the reliability champion for Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS), a group focused on delivering specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community customers. You'll work hands-on across the entire product lifecycle, partnering with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to ensure designs are robust and production-ready.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting and reviewing system block diagrams, interface control documents, and schematics for compliance and redundancy
- Leading Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) efforts with cross-functional teams
- Performing predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control, loss of asset, and MTTF/MTBF using industry standards (MIL-HDBK-217Plus)
- Developing and executing comprehensive Qualification and Validation Test plans, including environmental, life/limit, and accelerated testing
- Working with Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to develop and validate assembly, integration, and testing processes
- Developing Maintainability prediction models using MIL-HDBK-472 and supporting Preventative Maintenance & Sparing plans
- Performing Weibull analysis on qualification, production, and field data to predict failures and identify trends
- Leading failure investigations on design validation, production testing, and field returns; driving root cause analysis and CAPA to closure
- Supporting Development Milestone Reviews and guiding transitions from engineering development to high-rate production
- Developing and implementing standardized reliability processes, tools, and infrastructure
This is a highly collaborative, data-driven role requiring independent ownership of product performance from concept to deployment. You'll drive cross-functional alignment without direct authority and build reliability infrastructure from the ground up.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum 8 years experience as a Reliability Engineer, Design/Development Engineer, or Test Engineer
- B.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline
- Experience with safety-critical hardware & software systems in defense or aerospace industry
- Experience or familiarity with MIL-STD-810, MIL-HDBK-217, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-516C, and MIL-STD-1629
- Experience setting up a Reliability Engineering framework for a product or program, including production testing, field testing, data acquisition, and data analysis
- Expertise in reliability analysis techniques: FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis
- Experience generating qualification testing requirements and executing tests to characterize product behavior
- Failure investigation/analysis experience with proven track record of solving problems and preventing reoccurrence
- Design Review Experience (PDR, CDR, MRR) and presentation skills across all leadership levels
- Currently possesses and able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent
- Experience with MIL-HDBK-217Plus, MIL-HDBK-472, MIL-STD-1916
- Experience with Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) Assessments, Manufacturing Review Board (MRB), Quality Inspection, Tooling, or Calibration
- Experience with risk management, change control/change management reviews, and software/firmware HITL/SITL
- Experience with HALT, HASS, Environmental Testing, and/or Mechanical Testing
- Technical writing experience developing requirements, standards, specifications, user guides, and policies
