About the role

Anduril Industries is hiring Reliability Engineers to support a range of domains (Air Dominance & Strike, Counter-UAS, Maritime, Ground Systems, Space, and Mission Autonomy). Roles span the entire product lifecycle, collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure robust designs, generate reliability data, and drive continuous design and process improvements from concept to deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Support and review system block diagrams, interface control documents, and schematics for compliance, redundancy, and accuracy against requirements and concept of operations.
  • Lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) efforts, collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to implement design improvements.
  • Perform predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control, loss of asset, and MTTF/MTBF utilizing Anduril requirements, specifications, and relevant industry standards (i.e. MIL-HDBK-217Plus).
  • Develop and execute comprehensive Qualification and Validation Test plans (including environmental, life/limit, and accelerated testing) to ensure appropriate requirements coverage and de-risking for production readiness; partner with Test Engineering to fixture and instrument test campaigns.
  • Work with Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to develop, refine, and validate assembly, integration, and testing processes (including inspection/acceptance test gates) to optimize build reliability and reduce time-to-deploy.
  • Develop Maintainability prediction models using MIL-HDBK-472, and support the development of Preventative Maintenance & Sparing plans.
  • Perform Weibull analysis utilizing data from qualification campaigns, production testing, and fielded assets to predict failures and identify trends.
  • Lead failure investigations on anomalies originating from design validation, production testing, and field returns; drive root cause analysis and CAPA to closure.
  • Support Development Milestone Reviews through the identification of appropriate entry and exit criteria, guiding the transition of designs from engineering development to high-rate production.
  • Develop and implement standardized reliability processes, tools, and infrastructure to streamline and accelerate our design, manufacturing, and deployment operations.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 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 the 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 support of production testing, field testing, data acquisition, and data analysis
  • Expertise in reliability analysis techniques, including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis, and Fault Tree Analysis
  • Experience with generating qualification testing requirements and executing tests to proactively characterize product behavior and performance
  • Failure investigation/analysis experience with proven track record of solving problems and preventing reoccurrence
  • Design Review Experience (PDR, CDR, MRR) and confidence in presentation skills across all levels of leadership
  • Eligibility to obtain/maintain a U.S. Secret clearance, as required
