Senior System Safety Engineer

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM
Anduril’s Manufacturing Safety Engineering team partners across Anduril’s manufacturing, engineering, and operations organizations to ensure our production systems are safe to build, test, and sustain at scale. As an engineering discipline, we design safety into the way products are made, covering the equipment, fixtures, test stations, and work instructions on the factory floor, rather than inspecting for it after the fact. Our mandate spans the production lifecycle, from new equipment and line design through ramp and sustained operations. We apply formal risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls to identify hazards early and engineer them out, partnering closely with our Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) experts, controls and manufacturing engineers, and production leadership to keep our people safe while moving at the speed Anduril demands.

ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking experienced Manufacturing Safety Engineers to join our rapidly growing team in Quincy and engineer safety into how Anduril builds its products. As a Manufacturing Safety Engineer, you will apply formal risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls to production equipment, lift fixtures, test stations, and manufacturing work instructions, identifying hazards early and designing them out in partnership with EHS, manufacturing and controls engineering, and production teams. You will be the on-the-floor technical authority who makes our factories safe without slowing them down, from new equipment and line bring-up through ramp and sustained operations.
This is an evergreen requisition used to build a pipeline of Manufacturing Safety Engineers. This role is based in Costa Mesa, CA, and supports Anduril’s manufacturing operations, including sites at Quonset Point, RI and Atlanta, GA; specific team, site, and program assignments are determined during the interview process based on business need and candidate background.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead formal machine and task-based risk assessments on production equipment, fixtures, tooling, and processes, documenting hazards, risk ratings, required controls, and residual risk.
• Review manufacturing work instructions and supporting training material for safety adequacy; author Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and embed the required controls, PPE, and safe-work steps.
• Engineer and review production equipment such as lift fixtures and material-handling aids in partnership with EHS, and support proof-load testing.
• Assess and design safety into production test equipment.
• Apply the hierarchy of controls and prevention-through-design principles to eliminate or reduce hazards at the equipment and line-design stage.
• Define functional-safety requirements for safety-related control systems and verify their implementation.
• Partner with EHS to ensure engineering controls satisfy applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1910 general-industry requirements (machine guarding, lockout/tagout, electrical, PPE, materials handling).
• Support incident and near-miss investigations and root-cause analysis; drive corrective engineering actions and management of change.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• B.S. Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Safety Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline
• 7+ years of experience in manufacturing/machine safety, equipment or controls engineering, or a related discipline with demonstrated ownership of risk assessments
• Hands-on experience performing formal machine and task-based risk assessments and applying the hierarchy of controls
• Working knowledge of machine safeguarding and applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1910 general-industry requirements, including machine guarding and the control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout)
• Experience developing Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and translating risk-assessment findings into work instructions, controls, and training
• Experience designing safety into production and/or test equipment, partnering with EHS and electrical safety specialists
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence cross-functionally on the factory floor and with engineering teams
• Eligibility to pursue and maintain a U.S. security clearance, as required

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Familiarity with machine safety standards such as ISO 12100 (risk assessment and risk reduction), ISO 13849 (safety-related parts of control systems), and ANSI B11 (machine safety and safeguarding)
• M.S. Degree in an engineering discipline, or a professional safety credential (CSP, ASP) or machinery-safety credential (CMSE)
• Functional-safety experience determining Performance Level or SIL for safety-related control systems, and functional-safety certification (CMSE or TÜV FSEng)
• Experience with production test-equipment safety
• Experience in a high-rate or rapidly scaling manufacturing environment, ideally in aerospace, defense, automotive, or a comparable regulated industry
• Active U.S. security clearance
