Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Aircraft Integration

Anduril’s Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with a focus on aircraft integration to join our team. The Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware, including static equipment, moving ground equipment, and complex flight vehicles. 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 manufactured 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.
WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Under minimal supervision, you will own the integration of a product or set of products. This position will focus heavily on new aircraft development, with airframe, mechanisms, and electronics focus.
• Write documentation required for successfully integrating hardware at scale, such as work instructions, test procedures, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
• Develop novel tooling solutions for assembly, integration, logistics and test.
• Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes.
• Document, analyze, and troubleshoot issues that arise on the integration line (mechanisms, electronics, harnessing, software, etc).
