About the role

Anduril Industries is seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to serve as the first line of defense on the Imaging production floor, focusing on assembly, integration, and test of electromechanical and optomechanical systems. This role embeds on the production line to troubleshoot in-line issues, manage downtime, and drive continuous improvement across process, data, and documentation.

Responsibilities

  • First Line of Defense: Embed on the production floor to rapidly respond to, diagnose, and resolve in-line production issues across assembly, integration, and test — keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
  • Downtime & Ticket Management: Own the response process when the line goes down. Triage, drive, and close production downtime & non-conformance issues, coordinating engineering, maintenance, quality, and supply chain to restore flow quickly.
  • Digital Line Operations: Handle the essential digital administration of the line. Own the day-to-day updates and troubleshooting within our ERP and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) to ensure accurate production tracking, data integrity, and inventory flow.
  • Root Cause & Debugging: Perform rapid debugging, testing, and root-cause analysis (RCA) on failing hardware and processes. Implement containment, drive corrective and preventive actions, and escalate systemic issues to the design and quality teams.
  • Floor Collaboration: Partner hands-on with technicians and assemblers every day, capturing assembly friction points and feeding improvements back into process and design.
  • Documentation & Training: Create, update, and maintain clear, accurate work instructions, SOPs, and rework procedures so the floor always runs to the current standard. Ensure ECO/ECN change implementations are managed and executed on the production floor correctly and on time.
  • Continuous Improvement: Analyze line data to surface recurring failures and bottlenecks, and drive incremental improvements to yield, throughput, and first-pass quality.

Qualifications

  • Degree in a technical field such as mechanical, electrical, systems, or industrial engineering, or a related hard science.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting an active production line — in manufacturing, production, process, sustainment, or industrial engineering.
  • Demonstrated, hands-on experience troubleshooting, testing, and assembling electromechanical hardware in a live production environment.
  • Demonstrated experience utilizing and managing data within MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP platforms to track yields, routing, and inventory.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
