Job description

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Launched Effects team at Anduril is responsible for scaling the manufacturing and delivery of the Altius family of systems (including the Altius-600 and Altius-700). As the premier Air-Launched Effects platform for the U.S. military and its allies, Altius is redefining modern warfare. These tube-launched, autonomous aerial systems must be built to survive extreme deployment environments, requiring precision manufacturing of advanced composites, complex avionics, and modular payload integrations for ISR, Electronic Warfare, and kinetic strike capabilities.
We are a fast-moving, mission-driven group of manufacturing engineers, quality specialists, and production operations experts who refuse to accept traditional, slow defense manufacturing timelines. We continuously optimize our assembly lines, implement automated testing, design for manufacturing (DFM), and build resilient supply chains to deploy reliable systems to the front lines at unprecedented speed. If you want to work on a team where your production and manufacturing decisions directly impact global security, this is it.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Manufacturing Specialist, Drone Program to join our rapidly growing team in Ashville, OH. In this role, you will be responsible for the assembly, repair, and testing of advanced drone systems while supporting new product introductions and process improvements. You will work closely with manufacturing and support engineers, draft and update technical documentation, and build fixtures to ensure the highest quality and reliability of our drone hardware. This will require expertise in mechanical troubleshooting, precision machining, blueprint reading, and hands-on maintenance and repair. If you are someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, with strong communication skills and a passion for continuous improvement, then this role is for you.

This position is permanently based in Ashville, OH, and requires candidates to temporarily relocate for a comprehensive 3-month training program: 1 month in Santa Ana, CA, followed by 2 months (approximately) in Atlanta, GA. To support your transition, Anduril will fully provide and cover all corporate housing, transportation, and travel accommodations during this training period. Your recruiter will discuss the logistics of this program with you in detail during the hiring process

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Collaborate with manufacturing and support engineers on production processes and new product introductions
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, which requires regular interaction with production and manufacturing stakeholders and frequently working directly on the production floor.
  • Execute repair and maintenance tasks for drones and assemble fixtures according to quality standards
  • Conduct rigorous testing and qualification validations while driving process improvements
  • Draft, write, and update procedures for drone manufacturing and repair
  • Design and build tooling and fixtures to support new testing requirements
  • Travel up to 20% for offsite test support and project requirements
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Proven experience in high volume manufacturing and assembly within aerospace, military, or other high-reliability industries.
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair skills, with experience in maintaining and upgrading production processes.
  • Excellent blueprint reading, technical documentation, and test procedure development skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
  • U.S. citizenship is required pursuant to contractual obligations
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Prior experience with drone systems or related unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
  • Demonstrated capability to train new hires or lead small teams in a manufacturing environment.
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing methodologies (5S, TPM) and process improvement strategies.
