Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer for the Turbine Engines program in a fast-paced defense hardware environment. You will own engine rework, diagnose failures, and drive corrective actions across EBOM/MBOM, ensuring traceability and readiness for acceptance testing.

The role emphasizes cross-functional collaboration with design, quality, reliability, and planning teams, with leadership in upgrades and documentation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in turbomachinery component manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or high-performance industrial gas turbine industries.
• Experience with CAD/CAM software, preferably NX or similar.
• Familiarity with CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and other advanced manufacturing technologies.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Responsibilities

• Own the disposition and rework of engines that fail internal acceptance test or are returned by customers, addressing both hardware failures and upgrades to the latest configuration for the entire program.
• Diagnose engine-level issues by analyzing test data, inspecting hardware, and driving each failure to its true root cause.
• Author clear, complete rework instructions and partner closely with production to communicate tasks, priorities, and expectations.
• Manage configuration across the EBOM and MBOM to keep every engine traceable to its correct build state.
• Lead teardown and inspection of returned engines, documenting findings and determining whether components are serviceable, repairable, or scrap.
• Define and manage upgrade paths that bring legacy-configuration engines to the current standard, including the required rework steps and parts.
• Feed failure findings back to design, quality, and reliability engineering so recurring issues are corrected at the source.
• Estimate rework scope, cost, and turnaround time, and coordinate with planning and supply chain to signal hardware demand.
• Verify that every reworked engine meets requirements and passes acceptance testing before it ships to the customer.
• Maintain accurate as-built records so each engine's final configuration is fully documented after rework.
