About the role
Senior Product Sourcing Engineer role at Anduril Industries focusing on design-for-manufacturability, cost engineering, supplier qualification, and smooth transition of hardware from NPI to production within defense technology.
Responsibilities
- Shape the Design Early: Embed with Design Engineering during concept and prototype phases to run technical reviews, drive DFM/DFA, and align design intent with what suppliers can actually build at rate.
- Qualify the Supply Base: Evaluate and select global suppliers based on technical capability, process maturity, quality systems, and capacity to deliver complex assemblies against aggressive schedules.
- Own the Cost Curve: Lead should-cost analyses, teardowns, and process assessments to expose cost drivers and drive design-to-cost initiatives without compromising performance, reliability, or margin.
- Land NPI into Production: Run the technical transition from NPI into serial production — first-article inspections, PPAP, yield ramp, and resolution of early-stage manufacturing issues at the supplier floor.
- De-Risk the Build: Identify technical single points of failure, qualify alternate processes or sources, and drive ECOs and corrective actions to unblock supplier-facing build issues before they hit the program.
Qualifications
