About the role

Anduril’s Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join the Propulsion Manufacturing Team, responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting-edge defense hardware across the manufacturing value-chain, including design for manufacturability, tooling, processes, vendor interaction, quality planning, and documentation.

Responsibilities

  • Own the disposition and rework of engines that fail internal acceptance test or are returned by customers, addressing hardware failures and upgrades to the latest configuration for the entire program.
  • Diagnose engine-level issues by analyzing test data, inspecting hardware, and driving each failure to its true root cause.
  • Author clear, complete rework instructions and partner closely with production to communicate tasks, priorities, and expectations.
  • Manage configuration across the EBOM and MBOM to keep every engine traceable to its correct build state.
  • Lead teardown and inspection of returned engines, documenting findings and determining whether components are serviceable, repairable, or scrap.
  • Define and manage upgrade paths that bring legacy-configuration engines to the current standard, including the required rework steps and parts.
  • Feed failure findings back to design, quality, and reliability engineering so recurring issues are corrected at the source.
  • Estimate rework scope, cost, and turnaround time, and coordinate with planning and supply chain to signal hardware demand.
  • Verify that every reworked engine meets requirements and passes acceptance testing before it ships to the customer.
  • Maintain accurate as-built records so each engine's final configuration is fully documented after rework.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in turbomachinery component manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or high-performance industrial gas turbine industries.
  • Experience with CAD/CAM software, preferably NX or similar.
  • Familiarity with CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and other advanced manufacturing technologies.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
