Lead Production Engineer - Join the journey from Sydney to Huntsville
About The Position
Advanced Navigation is a catalyst for the global autonomy revolution. We are moving from a single Australian hub to a multi-hub, global manufacturing model, and we need a foundational engineer to lead the charge in Huntsville, Alabama. This isn't just a role; it’s a multi-year mission to establish a Sovereign Strategic Instrument (SSI) facility from the ground up. We don't expect you to know our proprietary processes on day one. We are looking for an exceptional engineer who is hungry to learn. The Immersion: You will spend approximately 3 months of your first year at our global HQ in Sydney, Australia. You’ll work alongside our R&D and Production Engineering SMEs to master the "AdNav Way" of manufacturing world-class optics and inertial sensors. The Launch: Back in Huntsville, you’ll be the "hands and feet" on the ground, installing our optimized production lines and launching our US operations with final testing and shipping. The Evolution: Once launched, you will facilitate the transition of increasingly complex manufacturing processes from Sydney to Huntsville. You will evolve from an individual contributor to a technical leader as the Engineering function grows. The Goal: You will be instrumental in the setup of a fully independent, world-class manufacturing facility capable of producing the most advanced navigation systems on the planet. This is a rare opportunity to be Employee #1 for the US Engineering team of a global tech leader. You’ll have the backing of a world-class Sydney team and the autonomy to build a legacy in Huntsville.
