Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical (Dive-XL)

Job description

Dive-XL is Anduril's extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), built for ultra-long range and large modular payloads. It is the vehicle behind Ghost Shark, which we build in Sydney for the Royal Australian Navy. We are now setting up the first U.S. Dive-XL production line at our 150,000 square foot campus in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Designs and manufacturing BOMs live in Siemens NX and Teamcenter. Routings and digital work instructions live in ArsenalOS, our in-house MES, and materials and orders run through Oracle ERP.

This is a senior manufacturing engineering role focused on mechanical systems. You will be the first call when the Dive-XL line has a mechanical problem, and the…

Job responsibilities

  • Lead root cause on assembly problems, process deviations, tooling failures and nonconforming parts, give the engineering disposition in MRB, and build the fix into the process
  • Be the first point of contact for technicians and supervisors on mechanical build issues, and get line-down problems resolved quickly to hold schedule
  • Cut in engineering changes on the floor: update the manufacturing BOM in Teamcenter and the routings and work instructions in ArsenalOS, decide what happens to work in progress, and brief the technicians
  • Own the work instructions and SOPs for your assemblies, written so a technician can build from them without you there
  • Design fixtures, lifting equipment and assembly tooling for large, heavy structures in Siemens NX, and print jigs and shop aids in-house to cut cycle time and improve ergonomics
  • Track yield, throughput, scrap and labor hours, find the trends, and lead the projects that fix them
  • Lay out workstations and material flow as the line comes up, and specify, procure and commission the heavy equipment, robotics and automation that cut waiting, extra handling and rework
  • Drive DFM and DFA with the design team before drawings are released, and push back on unbuildable features with build data

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing or industrial engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of manufacturing or production engineering experience on complex mechanical hardware, such as aerospace, defense, heavy equipment or medical devices, or 3+ years with an advanced degree
  • A product or major assembly you owned in production from start to finish, working with suppliers and internal teams to deliver on time, that you can walk us through in detail
  • Root cause analysis using methods such as 5 Whys, fishbone or 8D, with corrective actions that held
  • Lean and continuous improvement projects you led on a production line
  • Reading complex drawings and specifications, with strong GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
  • Manufacturing BOMs, routings and engineering change in an ERP, PLM or MES, such as Oracle or Teamcenter
  • 3D CAD for fixture and tooling design; Siemens NX preferred, SolidWorks or Creo accepted
