Job description

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

Anduril Industries is building next-generation defense technology to protect the United States and its allies. We are looking for Production Technicians to join our Rocket Motor Systems manufacturing team. In this role, you will perform hands-on final assembly operations on solid rocket motors and their subassemblies, working in a fast-paced production environment where precision, safety, and teamwork are paramount.

You do not need prior experience with solid rocket motors or energetic materials to be successful here — we will train you. What matters most is that you bring a strong safety mindset, a willingness to learn, the technical aptitude to master detailed procedures, and the ability to work collaboratively with your team.

Core Responsibilities

• Perform solid rocket motor final assembly operations including mandrel extraction, nozzle installation, and igniter assembly integration per detailed work instructions
• Execute igniter subassembly build-up, including component preparation, epoxy application, and curing processes
• Conduct motor marking, labeling, and serialization in accordance with configuration control requirements
• Perform leak check and pressure testing of completed motor assemblies using calibrated test equipment
• Complete pack-out and preparation of finished motors for storage or shipment, ensuring compliance with packaging and handling specifications
• Maintain accurate and thorough records of all assembly operations, inspections, and test results in the production tracking system
• Participate in daily production stand-ups, communicate status and blockers, and coordinate handoffs between shifts or stations

Safety & Compliance

• Solid propellant and other energetic materials are exceptionally dangerous if mishandled — adhere strictly to all safety protocols, standard operating procedures, and explosive safety requirements at all times with zero tolerance for deviation
• Maintain housekeeping and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) control standards in all work areas
• Identify and elevate safety concerns, near-misses, and hazards immediately through established reporting channels
• Use required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) correctly and consistently
• Support and participate in safety audits, process hazard analyses, and continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

We hire for mindset and aptitude. If you've built things with your hands — whether in a factory, a shop, the military, or your own garage — and you take pride in doing precise, careful work, we want to hear from you.

Required

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Demonstrated safety-first mindset — you stop the line when something doesn't look right
• Ability to follow detailed written and visual work instructions with precision and consistency
• Moderate to high mechanical aptitude: comfortable working with hand tools, torque wrenches, fixtures, and small components
• Strong attention to detail and quality — you catch your own mistakes before they move downstream
• Team-oriented attitude with clear, direct communication skills
• Coachable and self-aware — you seek feedback, absorb it, and apply it
• Ability to lift up to 35 lbs and stand for extended periods
• Willingness to work in environments with energetic materials after completing required training and certification
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship required)
• Ability to obtain and maintain an ATF Explosives "Employee Possessor" license

Preferred

• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other precision manufacturing environments
• Familiarity with AS9100, ISO 9001, or equivalent aerospace quality management systems
• Experience working with adhesives, sealants, epoxies, or potting compounds
• Military service or experience in an environment with strict procedural discipline
• Experience with calibrated measurement tools (micrometers, calipers, pin gauges, etc.)
• Lean manufacturing, 5S, or continuous improvement experience

Why Anduril

• Mission-driven work — what you build matters for national security
• A team culture that values safety, ownership, and getting better every day
• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
• Hands-on training and career growth pathways into senior technician, lead, and supervisory roles
• The opportunity to build a production operation from the ground up alongside a tight-knit team
