ABOUT THE TEAM Anduril Maritime is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for the undersea, reconnaissance, and strike mission. Anduril has brought to the market a unique, ultra-long-range, full-ocean-depth platform, and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "large" to "extra-large" vehicle sizes. Today, Anduril is executing on multi-million-dollar production contracts while simultaneously performing at-sea operations, and is scaling its supply base to move these vehicles from low-rate builds to sustained rate production. ABOUT THE JOB The Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) is a high-profile, cross-functional role that owns the manufacturing readiness and production performance of the external supply base for a specific Undersea, Reconnaissance & Strike business line. You will own the industrialization of the Dive-LD vehicle's supply chain — pressure vessels and structures, subsea connectors and harnessing, electronics and PCBAs, power systems, and sensors that make up the bulk of the BOM. You will spend your time where the parts are actually made. You are accountable for knowing what each supplier's line can really produce, what it would take to double it, and where the process is going to break before it breaks. You will work in close coordination with internal engineering, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing teams, as well as directly with supplier leadership and their manufacturing engineers, to execute effective, creative, and smart supply chain strategies that achieve production goals. WHAT YOU'LL DO Own supplier industrialization end-to-end for an assigned URS product line, from NPI build through rate production, across the full multi-level vehicle BOM.
