Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical (Dive-XL)

Anduril • Quincy, MA

5d

About The Position

Anduril is establishing the first U.S. Dive-XL production line at its 150,000-square-foot campus in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Dive-XL is an extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle built for ultra-long range and large modular payloads, and is the vehicle behind Ghost Shark, built in Sydney for the Royal Australian Navy. The manufacturing engineering role focuses on mechanical systems and will help establish production processes at the new campus, with responsibility for major assemblies, tooling, process documentation, and hands-on collaboration with production technicians.

The engineer will own the manufacturing of a major Dive-XL assembly from first article through rate production, design and trial tooling, create manufacturing documentation, support design improvements, and help connect engineering, manufacturing execution, and enterprise resource planning systems. Subsea experience is not required; strong mechanical fundamentals and hands-on build experience are sought, and vehicle-specific knowledge will be taught.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or aerospace engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of engineering experience with physical hardware in manufacturing, production, or mechanical design; internships and co-ops count.
• Working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5), tolerance stack-ups, and bolted and welded joint design.
• 3D CAD experience for fixture and tooling design.
• Hands-on build experience in machining, welding, fabrication, or assembly; Formula SAE, Baja, rocketry, robotics, and personal projects count.
• Experience taking a part or tool from prototype to repeatable production and ability to discuss it in detail.
• Ability to create work instructions clear enough for a technician to build from independently.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with large welded frames, composites, or buoyancy materials, including fixture design, weld distortion control, or WPS/PQR development.
• Experience with subsea or pressure-rated hardware, such as pressure housings, O-ring seals, subsea connectors, or hydrostatic testing.
• Experience with electromechanical systems, including DC power up to 400 VDC and harness routing.
• Knowledge of AS9100, AS9102 first article inspection, PFMEA, MRL, or risk assessments.
• Experience with manufacturing bills of materials in Teamcenter or another PLM, routings in an MES or ERP, or production data analysis in Python, MATLAB, or Minitab.
• Experience establishing new production lines or work cells for low-volume, high-mix builds of large vehicles, aircraft, or ships.
• Siemens NX experience; SolidWorks or Creo are also accepted.

Responsibilities

• Own manufacturing for a major Dive-XL assembly, such as frame weldments, pressure housings, or buoyancy and outer structures, from first article through rate production.
• Design fixtures, lifting equipment, and assembly tooling for large, heavy structures in Siemens NX.
• Print fixtures, jigs, and shop aids in-house, test them on the production line, and revise them to improve cycle time and technician ergonomics.
• Build manufacturing bills of materials in Teamcenter from engineering bills of materials, and write routings and work instructions in ArsenalOS.
• Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly feedback, and carry approved changes through to parts and production paperwork.
• Help connect Teamcenter, ArsenalOS, and Oracle so changes and as-built records move between systems without re-entry.
• Lay out work cells as the production line is established and support robotic and automated equipment.
• Use labor, yield, and cycle-time data to identify where automation can reduce waiting, extra handling, and rework.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full-time offers and are considered part of total compensation.
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
