Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
Anduril is seeking a Material and Process Engineer to help rapidly advance our autonomous maritime defense systems. This engineer needs to be an effective individual contributor focused on materials and manufacturing processes. We need an engineer with deep knowledge and experience in manufacturing environments. The candidate must also have strong communication skills, sense of task ownership, ability to learn quickly and consistent delivery performance. The candidate must be willing and able to perform hands on engineering and computational work as need by the program. This is a demanding role for which only motivated candidates need apply.
WHAT YOU’LL DOA day in the life of this Material and Process Engineer might start with a quick 15 minute stand up with their team where they confirm what their tasks are and communicate what they need to perform. After that, you'll head out to the shop floor to begin working on the new laser welding robot installation, reading drawings and making sure the equipment is set up per requirements. Back at your desk, you'll start writing the work instruction for the new polymer 3D printer that has to go through Site Acceptance testing next week. You'll need to learn what ASTM test coupons the spec should call out and do a literature review to substantiate your choice. You look down and it's only mid-morning - you have the whole day ahead of you!
