Andurilindustries · Sydney, Australia
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 Role The Staff Product Engineer serves as the primary design engineering presence on the production floor, bridging the gap between design intent and production execution. Embedded within the Global Head of Production organization with a dotted-line relationship to Platform and Payload Engineering Teams, this role owns the day-to-day engineering interface between design engineering teams and manufacturing operations across multiple production sites. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep technical judgement, the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced production environment, and the credibility to influence both design engineers and production leadership. The Staff Product Engineer is expected to drive systemic improvements — not just resolve individual issues — and to develop process and tooling solutions that scale across product versions, variations, and manufacturing sites. Key Responsibilities Production Floor Engineering Support Serve as the primary design engineering point of contact on the production floor for assigned programs and product lines Triage and disposition Material Review Board (MRB) actions day-to-day; participate in MRB meetings and drive resolution timelines to minimize production hold time Resolve production process-blockers, design ambiguities, and drawing interpretation issues in real time, exercising engineering judgement within defined authority boundaries Provide rapid-response engineering support to Production, Quality, and Test teams for nonconformance resolution, use-as-is/rework/scrap decisions, and repair dispositions Identify and escalate systemic design issues to core Design Engineering teams with clear problem statements, data, and recommended corrective actions Perform and review mechanical design analyses — including structural stress, fatigue life, thermal, and tolerance stackup calculations — to support MRB dispositions, deviation requests, and use-as-is justifications Utilize 3D CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, or CATIA) to evaluate proposed rework paths, model design modifications, and generate or revise engineering drawings as needed to support production Apply knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes — including metals, composites, adhesive bonding, welding, brazing, and surface treatments — to assess nonconformances and recommend technically sound repair or rework methods Design Intent Translation & Multi-Site Support Bridge the translation of design intent into production-executable work across multiple product versions, configurations, and manufacturing sites Develop and maintain Standard Repair Manuals and engineering disposition guides that give Production autonomy to resolve high-frequency, low-complexity MRB items without engineering hold Support the stand-up and ramp of production at new or expanding manufacturing sites, ensuring design engineering knowledge transfers effectively Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering on work instruction development, tooling validation, and First Article Inspection (FAI) activities Flow production observations, failure mode data, and process improvement opportunities back to Design Engineering through structured feedback mechanisms Leverage mechanical modeling and simulation capabilities to rapidly evaluate design change proposals, ensuring form-fit-function integrity before releasing changes to the production floor Apply materials engineering knowledge to assess the suitability of alternate materials or processes during supply chain disruptions, ensuring equivalent mechanical performance and environmental compatibility for
