The posting, as Anduril wrote it
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Missiles Manufacturing Engineering team at Anduril is dedicated to rewriting the playbook for precision strike and deterrent capabilities. Modern threats demand a paradigm shift in how tactical weapons are designed and produced, and our team is rapidly scaling production to deliver the unprecedented volume, speed, and affordability that U.S. and Allied forces require.
On this team, you will have the opportunity to work on groundbreaking programs like our Barracuda family of air-breathing missiles—including all of its highly adaptable sub-variants—as well as cutting-edge hypersonic missile systems and a pipeline of next-generation strike technologies. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will own the production lifecycle of one of these critical weapons systems, driving high-rate assembly lines and leading rapid production ramps from prototype to scale.
In this role, you will be deeply embedded in the entire lifecycle of these state-of-the-art systems, bridging the gap between initial design and physical production. You will have the autonomy to take on massive, complex projects and own them from cradle to grave. We are looking for engineers with a fierce sense of ownership and an insatiable drive to push their technical boundaries. If you thrive in the face of ambiguity, welcome the challenge of complex engineering problems, and are excited to step outside of your comfort zone to build the future of defense, this is the place for you.
Your work will directly reshape global deterrence and change the balance of defense capabilities on a global scale. Apply now and become part of our mission to secure a safer tomorrow.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Manufacturing Engineer on the High-Speed Missiles team , you will be at the absolute bleeding edge of aerospace and defense technology. Hypersonic flight—sustained travel at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond—represents one of the most demanding engineering challenges of our time. To survive these extreme environments, our vehicles must withstand intense thermal, aerodynamic, and structural forces.
Historically, hypersonic systems have been built like low-volume, bespoke science projects. At Anduril, we are changing that. Your mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge physics a
