Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer - Dive-XL AUV Production

Frontdoor Defense; Quincy (MA); On-site; USD 132,000 - 175,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is building the Dive-XL production line at Quonset Point, RI, with a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing role focused on mechanical systems. You will own major Dive-XL structures, design tooling, and develop processes with autonomy on a new campus.

The role emphasizes strong mechanical fundamentals, on-floor collaboration with technicians, and DFM/DFMA feedback through the build cycle. Security clearance is required or eligible.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing or aerospace engineering.
• 3+ years of engineering experience with physical hardware in manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and bolted/welded joint design.
• 3D CAD for fixture and tooling design; Siemens NX preferred, SolidWorks or Creo accepted.
• Hands-on build experience in machining, welding, fabrication or assembly; related projects count.
• A part or tool you took from prototype to repeatable production that you can walk us through in detail.
• Work instructions clear enough that a technician can build from them without you there.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Own manufacturing for a major Dive-XL assembly, such as frame weldments, pressure housings or buoyancy and outer structures, from first article through rate production.
• Design fixtures, lifting equipment and assembly tooling for large, heavy structures in Siemens NX.
• Print fixtures, jigs and shop aids in-house, try them on the line, and revise them the same week to cut cycle time and improve ergonomics for technicians.
• Build manufacturing BOMs in Teamcenter from the engineering BOM, then write the routings and work instructions in ArsenalOS that the floor builds from.
• Give the design team DFM and DFA feedback, and carry approved changes through to the parts and paperwork on the floor.
• Help connect Teamcenter, ArsenalOS and Oracle so changes and as-built records move between them without re-entry.
• Lay out work cells as the line comes up, support the robotic and automated equipment, and use labor, yield and cycle-time data to find where more automation cuts waiting, extra handling and rework
