Anduril's Reliability Engineering organization is seeking an experienced Reliability Engineer to support our Advanced Effects team. The Reliability Engineering team collaborates with our broader Engineering organization to ensure our products meet or exceed mission performance requirements, withstand challenging environmental conditions, and satisfy all customer specifications. We develop and implement cutting-edge Reliability processes and methodologies to secure scalable, long-term business success.

As a Reliability Engineer at Anduril, you will work within the organization to support product development, define and execute processes for continuous improvement and risk mitigation, and lead root cause & corrective action efforts throughout the new product development life cycle to ensure a smooth transition to production. You will support field performance monitoring and track trends/lessons learned to recommend improvements to upstream teams. The ideal candidate for this role has comprehensive knowledge of design, development, test, analysis, manufacturing, operations, asset tracking, maintenance, and continuous improvement. If you are someone who has hands-on experience throughout the entire new product development life cycle from concept to customer delivery, loves to build world-class Reliability processes, thrives on collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and is accountable for results, then this role is perfect for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

General Design & Development:

• Support and review system block diagrams, interface control documents, and schematics for compliance, redundancy, and accuracy against requirements and concept of operations.
• Partner with Design & Development Engineers to document requirements and proactively identify risk through tools such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Physics of Failure Methodologies, and Analysis + Test Data Reviews in R&D.
• Support Development Milestone Reviews through identification of appropriate entry and exit criteria, and work with Quality Engineering to guide the hand off process to production.

Reliability Predictive Analysis:

• Perform predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control, loss of asset, MTTF, and MTBF utilizing Anduril requirements, specifications, and COTS specifications as well as leveraging MIL-HDBK-217 Plus.
• Lead FMECA (Failure Mode and Effects Criticality Analysis) evaluations and calculations.
• Lead Maintainability prediction models using MIL-HDBK-472.
• Perform Weibull analysis utilizing test data from the Qualification campaign to general Reliability Performance Reports for the customer.

Validation & Qualification:

• Create and tailor R&D Test and Qualification Test top level campaign requirements & plans with support from the Chief Architect, Product Manager, Systems Engineering, and Design and Test Engineer(s).
• Manage the Qualification & Traceability matrix alongside FMEA documentation to ensure appropriate requirements coverage.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective action for issues found during R&D and Qualification testing alongside the Development, Quality, and Test Engineering Teams.
• Publish the Qualification Completion Matrix and Test Reports for the customer.

End to End Support, Continuous Improvement, and Performance Monitoring:

• Work with Quality Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure all inspection and acceptance test gates are in place and documented into a clear process against requirements.
• Develop and implement Reliability processes for the business to improve and streamline our Design, Manufacturing, and Deployment Operations efforts for rapid development.
• Host regular metrics reviews to highlight key problem areas for deployed products utilizing Anduril data. Plot aggregate data and review change trends, performance trends, and product issue landscapes. Support operational functional data log reviews for performance characterization to generate family data insights. Propose and coordinate corrective
