As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you will work inside & outside the organization to define, develop, and execute processes that deliver high quality & reliable, precision mechanical parts and sub-assy used in our aerial drone products and core technology. The applications will range from our Road Runner product to our core technology products that are critical to Anduril's product road map. This role focuses on collaborating and driving early engagement with our design teams and suppliers to meet our quality requirements the first time for mechanical components that require precision machining and forming technologies to achieve the design intent. Everything comes down to clarity and action with our suppliers and partnering with them for world class results is essential across the supply chain. The right person for this role has knowledge of manufacturing, supply management, supplier development, sub- system performance criteria and metrology, and continuous improvement. If you are someone who loves to build world-class quality processes with suppliers, work hands-on with engineering, and be accountable for results, then this role is for you.

Partner with our design teams to support the design development process, provide design for manufacturability feedback, and help generate product data (CAD features, drawings details, BOM information, and part & material requirements) for supplier quality success.

Drive the supplier quality development processes throughout the product development stages with the product engineering team through design reviews, supplier process assessment, prototyping, and qualification for components and sub-assemblies for precision mechanical parts. Review supplier processes, equipment, and capabilities to ensure alignment to mechanical & sub-assembly requirements can be achieved. This may include metals, plastics, composites, and additive manufacturing.

Partner with development engineering, product quality engineering, sourcing engineering, category management and program management to deliver predictable supply to the development programs, production programs, and manage exceptions/containments/deviations for supplier technical performance, particularly in the development phases.

Drive supplier quality readiness by analyzing key and critical characteristics for drawings and supplier specification, develop measurement systems, and supplier qualification activities (capability analysis, PPAP, FAIR, Audit, inspection development, etc.).
