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.

Anduril’s Reliability Engineering organization is seeking a Reliability Engineer to join our team supporting classified projects. The Reliability Engineering team works with our broader Engineering team to ensure our products operate and meet all mission performance, environmental conditions, and customer requirements. We develop cutting-edge Reliability processes and methods 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 buy down, and lead root cause + corrective action efforts throughout the new product development life cycle to ensure a smooth hand off to production. You will then support field performance monitoring, and track trends/lessons learned to recommend improvements to upstream teams. The right person for this role has knowledge of design, development, test, analysis, manufacturing, operations, asset tracking and 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, work with many multi disciplinary teams, and be accountable for results, then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

General Design & Development:

• Support Design & Development Engineers in requirements documentation, redundancy evaluation, and proactive design reliability liaising to ensure compliance against Anduril’s design standards.

• Support and review system block diagrams, interface control documents, and schematics for compliance, redundancy, and accuracy against requirements and concept of operations with a focus on Mechanical Systems.
• Support Design & Development Engineers as a critical partner to identify risk as early as possible through tools such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Physics of Failure Methodologies, and Analysis + Test Data Reviews in R&D, then coordinate mitigation action plans to proactively lead the Design Reliability Effort for your assigned product or product area.
• Support the Design Requirements Process as a Subject Matter Expert to ensure teams adhere to our Hardware Design Best Practices, and Analysis best practices.
• Support Development Milestone Reviews such as SRR, Drawing Reviews, PDR, CDR, QDR, and support the production hand off process with Quality Engineering.

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:

• Lead, Draft, 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).
• Lead and manage the Qualification & Traceability matrix alongside Requirements and FMEA documentation.
• Lead and 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 Reports for the customer.

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

• Lead product End-To-End Plans from component receiving through field deployment. Liaison with Quality Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure all inspection and acceptance test gates and requirements are in place and documented into a clear process.
