Manufacturing Engineer, Electromagnetic Warfare (Avionics)

Anduril's Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. The EW Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware for Electromagnetic Warfare. This responsibility includes everything in the manufacturing value-chain, including, but not limited to, Design for Manufacturability work, tool design & selection, process creation & optimization, vendor sourcing & interaction, quality planning, and work documentation associated with the hardware that the Manufacturing Engineer owns.

As a Manufacturing Engineer within EW, you will be responsible for driving process improvements, ensuring the highest quality of production, and supporting the development and implementation of new products. You will play a crucial role in optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing costs, and increasing efficiencies on existing technologies while also developing new products and scaling to full scale production.

- Own a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain that includes Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) for electro-mechanical assemblies

- Contribute to operational excellence with a strong continuous improvement mindset and leading impactful Kaizen events

- Be a strong partner with Product Quality Engineering to drive and support RCCA burndowns that tackle key issues both internally and externally to EW Production

- Collaborate with Design Engineering teams in early to late phases of the development process to provide DFx for smooth NPI transitions

- Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes

- Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.

- Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, harnesses, Electrical COTS/MOTS, antennas, radios, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production

- Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware

- Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

- Degree in a technical field preferred such as engineering, math, or a hard science

- 3+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware

- Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment

- Demonstrated ability to contribute to the delivery of electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment

- Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (soldering, SMT, harnessing, box assembly, etc.) Work on personal or extracurricular projects is a plus.

- Prior experience working with JIRA, Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), or Oracle (ERP) or equivalents

- A genuine interest in manufacturing and thirst for learning

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

- Experience with RF Products that require system AI&T (assembly, integration, and test)

- Exposure to or interest in scaling product testing and production.

- Hands-on experience with software & firmware flashing or end-of-line testing & troubleshooting
