Manufacturing Engineer, New Product Introduction (NPI), Sentry

Anduril's Sentry Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with strong NPI experience to join our team. The Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware, including static equipment and moving ground equipment, to provide force protection and counter-UAS support.

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.

The right person for this role can demonstrate past holistic ownership on solving a technical challenge with a creative, physical, solution that they either personally manufacturing or oversaw manufacturing on, in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. If you are someone who thrives in such an environment, then this role is for you.

- Leverage expertise in New Product Introduction (NPI) to seamlessly transition electromechanical products from prototype to high-volume production, optimizing design for manufacturability/assembly, and supply chain scalability

- Design and implement efficient manufacturing processes by owning a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for high-complexity product(s)

- Lead and coordinate projects to install new manufacturing systems and communicate effectively with stakeholders to provide updates on project progress and manufacturing changes

- Leverage automations and integrated workflows to streamline manufacturing processes

- 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, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production

- Travel to suppliers to do initial sourcing work, solve ongoing production issues, and implement quality procedures

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

- Collaborate with various cross-functional departments: Quality Assurance, Design Engineering, Technicians, program managers to set quality standards, inspection processes, design for manufacturability, troubleshooting, and programmatic milestones

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

- 5+ 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 experience integrating large or high complexity assemblies/subassemblies

- Experience in configuration management and change control process (CCB, E&O, Effectivity dates)

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

- Demonstrated success in scaling product testing and production from tens/hundreds to hundreds/thousands.

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

- Demonstrated ability to develop, execute, and manage high-fidelity, automated test procedures on both component and system levels.

- Experience with large scale high mix manufacturing at different stages of product maturity

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

- Familiarity with establishing test ecosystems that de-risk hardware and meet target reliability levels.

- Experience with large Bill of Materials, ownership of multiple products/configurations
