Manufacturing Engineering Tech (Assembly)

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.

The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. The team is seeking an RF Manufacturing Engineer to help bridge the gap between radar hardware design and scalable production. They are responsible for all aspects of radar system development, from ideation through initial production. In this role, you will work closely with interdisciplinary technical teams — including RF engineers, systems engineers, and operations — to develop and optimize manufacturing processes for complex RF and electronic assemblies, ensuring radar systems transition smoothly from prototype to full-rate production.

Own the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for RF electronic assemblies, from initial prototyping through transition to full production.

Develop and maintain manufacturing process documentation including assembly instructions, workflow/routing, inspection plans, and tool and fixture designs for RF hardware and electronic subassemblies.

Troubleshoot complex electrical and RF manufacturing issues on the production line, applying root cause analysis and corrective action methodologies to permanently resolve problems.

Drive continuous improvement of manufacturing processes through data analysis, process capability studies, and application of best practices to improve yield, reduce cycle time, and decrease cost.

Support design-for-manufacturability efforts by providing real-time feedback to RF and electrical design engineers on producibility, component selection, and assembly constraints.

Develop and validate test procedures and fixtures for electronic products, components, and RF systems to ensure production quality and performance.

Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations teams to support new product introductions with accelerated time to market.

Support critical customer-facing hardware demonstrations and use these interactions to better understand manufacturing requirements and end-user needs.

Travel to test sites, supplier facilities, or partner locations as needed.
