ABOUT THE ROLE

Anduril’s Space Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer for Avionics to join our team. Your expertise will help ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability at Anduril.

As the Manufacturing Engineer for Avionics, you will own the manufacturing processes for the flight computing, guidance and navigation, and radio-frequency avionics that fly on our spacecraft. Your responsibilities span process development and documentation, Design for Manufacturability, assembly tooling and test equipment, and the workmanship standards these assemblies are built to. You will work hands-on with technicians on the floor and report to the Lead Manufacturing Engineer for Sensors and Avionics.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on electronics manufacturing engineer who has taken flight or comparably high-reliability electronic assemblies from development into production, and who is comfortable working from incomplete design data in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own manufacturing process development and documentation for flight computer, GNC and RF avionics assemblies — PCBA, box-level build and integrated unit assembly — to IPC-610/620 Class 3, IPC J-STD-001 Space Addendum and the NASA-STD-8739 series.
• Author and maintain work instructions, travelers and as-built records for the assemblies you own.
• Drive Design for Manufacturability and Assembly into avionics designs before CDR — component selection and screening, testability, connector access and harness routing.
• Specify and qualify assembly tooling, fixtures and test equipment for avionics build, and support the test station interface with Test Operations.
• Own root cause analysis, PFMEA, process validation and first article inspection for avionics processes, and disposition nonconformances on flight hardware.
• Support incoming acceptance of development and COTS avionics units, and feed manufacturability and workmanship findings back to the Lead for vendor and partner engagement.
• Work RF-specific handling discipline into production practice — ESD, connector torque and mating cycles, cleanliness — and train technicians to it.
• Act as an owner and evangelist for Anduril's Manufacturing Development Process (M
