Job Overview:
Anduril’s is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with a Mechanical/Mechatronic Engineering background to join our Team in Sydney, Australia. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will leverage technical expertise to solve complex manufacturing challenges, drive technology insertion, and ensure the manufacturability of next-generation products from the earliest stages of design. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic environment, excels at real-time problem-solving, and is passionate about driving continuous improvement to optimize production flow, quality, and cost. Executing on this responsibility will entail active collaboration with Anduril teams across Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Business Operations. The right person for this role can demonstrate past ownership on solving production challenges with creative solutions in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment.

What You'll Do

Influence design before it freezes. Provide DFM/DFA feedback on drawings, material selections, and tolerance stacks so products are compatible with capable and cost-effective manufacturing processes.
Own line-down response. Investigate and resolve line-down situations, assembly problems, process deviations, and tooling issues to minimise downtime and keep schedule.
Author and maintain the work instructions, assembly guides, and SOPs that operators actually use. Manage these within Anduril's MES.
Lead Root Cause Analysis on complex or systemic production issues — diagnose, fix, document, prevent recurrence.
Assess the process impact of Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and define the requalification and validation activities required.
Collaborate on workstation and production-line layout to enhance ergonomics, safety, and efficiency.
Provide support to Supply Chain in the technical qualification and development of critical suppliers, assessing their process capabilities to meet demanding engineering requirements.
Foster a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge sharing and team engagement.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.
Hands-on experience in manufacturing environments: aerospace, defense, medical device, complex electronics, automotive, or similar high-stakes production environment.
Proven ability to troubleshoot technical manufacturing issues and lead root cause analysis.
Bias to action. You move on problems without waiting for a perfect plan, and you're comfortable being wrong in public if it keeps the line running.
Hands-on instinct. You'd rather build, break, and fix than discuss.
Demonstrated experience reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings, schematics, and specifications, including a strong understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with operators, technicians, and senior management.
Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance (NV2).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Experience with work instruction authoring and MBOM configuration.
Production line design and set up including Value Stream Mapping, material flow, workstation and tooling design.
Experience with CAD software (NX, Solidworks, Siemens/Teamcenter).
Prior knowledge and interaction with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations.
Exposure to Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies.
