Senior Product Sourcing Engineer, General

Anduril • Costa Mesa, CA

1d

About The Position

At Anduril, Product Sourcing Engineers are the critical link between engineering design and supply chain execution, ensuring hardware is manufacturable, cost-effective, and ready to scale from day one. This role operates in a fast-paced environment alongside design, manufacturing, and quality teams, influencing product architecture early and building supplier pipelines that withstand production pressure. The position requires technical sourcing professionals with expertise in design-for-manufacturability, cost engineering, and supplier qualification to contribute to the development of next-generation defense technology.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, or a related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years in a hybrid engineering / sourcing / supply chain role delivering hardware into production.
• Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes relevant to your commodity and their cost drivers.
• Fluent in engineering drawings, schematics, and CAD models, with solid GD&T instincts.
• Track record of working shoulder-to-shoulder with suppliers to troubleshoot fab issues, improve yield, and drive rigorous root-cause corrective action (8D / CAPA).
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Shape the Design Early: Embed with Design Engineering during concept and prototype phases to run technical reviews, drive DFM/DFA, and align design intent with what suppliers can actually build at rate.
• Qualify the Supply Base: Evaluate and select global suppliers based on technical capability, process maturity, quality systems, and capacity to deliver complex assemblies against aggressive schedules.
• Own the Cost Curve: Lead should-cost analyses, teardowns, and process assessments to expose cost drivers and drive design-to-cost initiatives without compromising performance, reliability, or margin.
• Land NPI into Production: Run the technical transition from NPI into serial production — first-article inspections, PPAP, yield ramp, and resolution of early-stage manufacturing issues at the supplier floor.
• De-Risk the Build: Identify technical single points of failure, qualify alternate processes or sources, and drive ECOs and corrective actions to unblock supplier-facing build issues before they hit the program.

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants
• Top-tier benefits for full-time employees
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
