Manufacturing Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p>Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.</p></div><div class="section page-centered" data-qa="job-description"> <div> <h3>ABOUT THE TEAM</h3> </div> <div> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Anduril’s Manufacturing Engineering team is responsible for rapidly iterating, scaling, and sustaining cutting-edge defense hardware, including static sensor towers, autonomous ground systems, and high-performance flight vehicles.

You will have a dual mandate: partner deeply with R&D during early architecture to drive rigorous Design for Assembly and Manufacturing (DFA/DFM), and architect the physical assembly processes, precision tooling, and integration lines required to scale complex mechanical hardware from prototype to high-rate production. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This is a heavily mechanical, hands-on role. You will design assembly fixtures in 3D CAD, perform tolerance stack-up analyses, define structural joining and bonding procedures, integrate smart-tooling systems, and establish repeatable, error-proofed mechanical assembly lines.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> </div> </div> <div class="section page-centered"> <h4>WHAT YOU'LL DO</h4> <ul> <li><span class="TextRun SCXW165963563 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW165963563 BCX0">Design for Assembly & Manufacturability (DFA/DFM):</span></span><span class="EOP Selected SCXW165963563 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{}"> </span> <ul> <li data-leveltext="o" data-font="Courier New" data-listid="7" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":1440,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Courier New","469769242":[9675],"469777803":"left","469777804":"o","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="auto">Embed directly with Mechanical Design Engineering during early R&D phases to influence product architecture, driving aggressive part reduction, standard fastener consolidation, and modular sub-assembly design.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="o" data-font="Courier New" data-listid="7" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":1440,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Courier New","469769242":[9675],"469777803":"left","469777804":"o","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="auto">Conduct detailed 1D and 2D worst-case and statistical (RSS) tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure mechanical interfaces, datum structures, dynamic clearances, and pin/hole alignments assemble consistently without force-fitting.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="o" data-font="Courier New" data-listid="7" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":1440,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Courier New","469769242":[9675],"469777803":"left","469777804":"o","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="auto">Define hardware assembly strategies, joint clamping designs, thermal interface material (TIM) applications, structural bonding, and torque sequencing early in the CAD development cycle.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> </ul> </li> <li><span class="TextRun SCXW234825708 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW234825708 BCX0">Tooling, Jigs, & Assembly Fixture Design:</span></span><span class="EOP Selected SCXW234825708 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{}"> </span> <ul> <li data-leveltext="o" data-font="Courier New" data-listid="7" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":1440,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Courier New","469769242":[9675],"469777803":"left","469777804":"o","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="auto">Own end-to-end mechanical design of production tooling—including precision assembly jigs, alignment nests, press-fit tooling, ergonomic lift/handling equipment, and mechanical verification fixtures using 3D CAD (NX or SolidWorks).</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="o" data-font="Courier New" data-listid="7" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":1440,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Courier New","469769242":[9675],"469777803":"left","469777804":"o","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="2"><span data-contrast="auto">Apply finite element analysis (FEA)
