Anduril’s Manufacturing Development team is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Development Project Engineer to grow and implement the Manufacturing Development Process (MDP) – a comprehensive framework that enables Manufacturing Engineering teams to pull production readiness to the left and produce effectively at scale.

If you are excited to distill Anduril’s vision for manufacturing into actionable initiatives and deploy them across products, teams, and sites, then this role is for you.

Introduce the MDP framework to a diverse set of stakeholders and programs.

Socialize the business process and accompanying resources with cross-functional teams, including Manufacturing Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain, Program Management, Configuration Management, Quality, and more.

Lead Manufacturing Engineering teams through MDP rollout and implementation for their specific product line.

Align manufacturing milestones with integrated program schedules, establish accountability for MDP execution, track progress, facilitate action item closure, personalize resources, and prioritize team activities and deliverables.

The Manufacturing Development team defines the ‘What’, ‘When’, ‘Why’ and ‘How’ for manufacturing, from new product development (NPD) and new product introduction (NPI) to manufacturing operations. This role includes managing the rollout of MDP across multiple product lines, tracking project progress and risks, developing and deploying business processes and templates, and championing best practices across global manufacturing engineering teams. The successful candidate will have a mix of both business and technical acumen, with a strong focus on the product lifecycle and concurrent engineering principles.
