Job description

Manufacturing Engineer

Location: Quonset, Rhode Island

Compensation: $111,000 - $147,000 USD / year

About The Role

We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to join our growing team in Quonset, RI. In this role, you will be responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting‑edge Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. This responsibility includes Design for Manufacturability, tool design & selection, process creation & optimization, vendor sourcing & interaction, quality planning, and work documentation associated with the hardware that the Manufacturing Engineer owns.

About The Team

Anduril is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of seabed exploration. 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 contracts while simultaneously performing Robot‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

What You'll Do
  • Own a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for a certain product or set of products
  • Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.
  • Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub‑processes
  • Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metal/plastic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick‑turn development as well as at‑scale production
  • Work with technicians and other engineers in a hands‑on fashion building prototype hardware
  • Develop novel tooling solutions for fabrication and assembly of structural parts
  • Contribute to end‑customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.
  • Frequent travel between Quonset/Quincy facilities is expected to facilitate production scale‑up activities across both sites
Required Qualifications
  • Degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science
  • 3+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver electromechanical hardware to spec in a start‑up environment
  • Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.). Work on personal or extracurricular projects is a plus
  • Extremely organized and detail‑oriented
  • Excellent verbal & written communication skills
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in sub‑sea robotics (AUVs, UUVs, underwater sensors/equipment)
  • Experience working with electrical systems up to 400VDc
  • Subsea cable splicing or fabrication experience
  • Experience with pressure vessels and/or pressure systems/equipment
  • Prior experience working with JIRA, Teamcenter (PLM), NetSuite (ERP) or equivalents
  • Experience with large scale low volume / high mix manufacturing
  • Has a never‑ending sense of urgency and enthusiasm
