Manufacturing Engineer

Anduril Industries • Lexington, MA

21d • Onsite

About The Position

This engineer is our first line of defense on the Imaging production floor. Embedded on the line, they keep hardware moving by rapidly troubleshooting in-line issues, driving down downtime, and resolving the technical and process problems that stand between us and shipping product. This is a hands-on, floor-dedicated sustaining role focused on the assembly, integration, and test of discrete electromechanical and optomechanical systems.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• Experience in aerospace/defense or another regulated, high-reliability industry, including familiarity with defense terminology and processes.
• Exposure to ISO 9001 / AS9100 quality systems.
• Familiarity with optical / opto-mechanical system integration and test.
• Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment combined with mature-production rigor (“knows what good looks like”).
• Familiarity with PLM and WMS platforms.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Partner hands-on with technicians and assemblers every day, capturing assembly friction points and feeding improvements back into process and design.
• 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.
• Analyze line data to surface recurring failures and bottlenecks, and drive incremental improvements to yield, throughput, and first-pass quality.
