Senior Electrical Manufacturing Engineer

Anduril Industries•Lexington, MA

About The Position

ABOUT THE JOB: As a key member of our team, you will own the manufacturing value chain for a specific set of products, overseeing both technical and commercial operations to ensure scalable production capabilities. Your role will involve evaluating and optimizing supply chain processes, developing business cases for strategic partnerships, and making informed make-or-buy decisions to enhance production efficiency. You will collaborate closely with contract manufacturers and engineering teams, addressing production challenges and driving continuous improvement to meet business objectives. WHAT YOU’LL DO: Own the manufacturing value chain for a certain set of products both technical and commercial operations; ensuring the capability to produce at needed scale. Evaluate, plan, and prioritize long-term and short-term supply chain, production and test optimizations to ensure capability and reliability of value stream to meet business production output goals & business objectives. Effectively develop and communicate business cases to support vertical integration or value stream diversification opportunities where strategic supply partnerships will accelerate the scalability of production output and product development. Continuously evaluate make vs buy decisions for sub-assemblies in the value stream; break the system down into logical subassemblies and process flows resulting in a clear approach to maximize total cost of ownership and production capability & reliability (lead time & flexibility). Work with contract manufacturers within the critical product value stream to develop and execute repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production and testing. Be on site at current and future operations partners managing technical and commercial needs for the value stream, solve ongoing production issues, improve capacity and evaluating potential partners. Work with technicians and other engineers (SMEs) hands-on, building prototype and production product and supporting hardware for internal and external use. Create documentation required for successfully manufacturing hardware at scale. Reduce complexity: commonality optimization & component/supplier rationalization.
