ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril is seeking a Product Data Engineer to join our Configuration Management team. As a Product Data Engineer you will work closely with the leaders of critical Anduril programs to manage a highly dynamic and fast‑paced design, engineering, and manufacturing environment. The Product Data Engineer will have a massive impact on capturing and defining the baseline for a program’s requirements, design, testing, manufacturing, and sustainment data structures.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Partner with Product and Program teams, working with system, design, and manufacturing engineers to generate, populate, and submit configuration item change requests.
• Prepare critical analyses to support change requests while maintaining configuration integrity and traceability (item dependency analyses, test analyses, effectivity plans, inventory disposition analyses, etc.).
• Support the execution and implementation of change notices across system engineering, design engineering, manufacturing engineering, and supply chain domains.
• Identify and execute continuous improvement opportunities by building data‑driven perspectives of the full product configuration landscape.
• Lead critical configuration management activities and forums, supporting configuration managers in managing technical forums such as Test Review Board and Change Control Board.
• Prepare for critical technical forums (Change Review Board and Change Control Board), including business cases, test data, effectivity plans, and inventory disposition plans.
• Document and distribute conclusions and decisions emerging from configuration management forums.
• Conduct periodic product configuration record audits and support configuration management reviews and audits (FCA/PCA).
• Reconcile released bills of materials against baseline bills of materials, confirming all variances have signed‑off change notices.
• Reconcile product as‑built records against released bills of materials, confirming all variances have quality deviations.
• Identify, analyze, and resolve non‑conformances and root‑causing failure modes.
• Serve as an expert resource for Product Teams regarding Engineering Release and Change Management processes and standards.
• Use Teamcenter software to manage engineering changes, including part revisions, EBOM/MBOM/SBOM updates, documentation modifications, and associated workflows.
• Provide guidance to Engineering teams in configuring EBOM, MBOM, and SBOM.
• Support configuration managers and engineers in defining and maintaining configurable product data sets.
• Act as a Teamcenter super‑user and train product team users on workflows.
• Partner with engineering teams to set requirements and identify improvement opportunities, creating tools or enhancing existing workflows.
• Build an end‑to‑end digital thread that maintains an accurate product definition from requirement to maintained record.
• Pilot opportunities to leverage Anduril’s AI capabilities to unlock speed, accuracy, and efficiency within configuration management activities.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of configuration analysis or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of demonstrated experience working in high‑complexity, high‑rate production environments (aerospace, automotive, security systems, medical devices, nuclear).
• Familiarity with configuration management principles and practices (EIA‑649/C, MIL‑HDBK‑61B).
• Experience with product lifecycle management (PLM) and/or data management toolsets for configuration management of complex products.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to synthesize complex quantitative data into clear decision statements.
• BA/BS degree.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to an inclusive culture.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven experience in aerospace industry.
• Proficiency in technical writing of processes and procedures.
