Who We Are
The Reliability Engineering team at Anduril collaborates with our broader Engineering organization to ensure our products meet or exceed mission performance requirements, withstand challenging environmental conditions, and satisfy all customer specifications. We develop and implement cutting‑edge reliability processes and methodologies to secure scalable, long‑term business success. As a Reliability Engineer, you will leverage your extensive knowledge of advanced reliability tools and methodologies to drive excellence in our reliability programs. You will support the Systems, Hardware and Software Engineering teams across the product development lifecycle by guiding Failure Modes & Effects Analysis, predictive analysis, qualification test planning, field performance monitoring and root‑cause & corrective action activities for your product(s). The right person for this role has knowledge of design and development with a reliability focus on unmanned aircraft systems, as well as exposure to test, analysis, manufacturing and continuous improvement in a production environment. If you are someone who has hands‑on experience throughout the new product development life cycle from concept to customer delivery, loves to build world‑class reliability processes, can work efficiently across multidisciplinary teams and is accountable for results, then this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Support and review system block diagrams, interface control documents and schematics for compliance, redundancy and accuracy against requirements and concept of operations.
- Lead Failure Modes & Effects Analysis efforts and collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams to implement product improvements for reliability.
- Perform predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control, loss of asset and MTTF/MTBF utilizing Anduril requirements, specifications and relevant industry standards (i.e. 217Plus).
- Develop qualification test, ALT and/or HALT plans to ensure appropriate requirements coverage, and work with test engineering to fixture, instrument and execute test campaigns.
- Develop maintainability prediction models using MIL‑HDBK‑472, and support the development of preventative maintenance and sparing plans.
- Perform Weibull analysis utilizing data from qualification campaigns and from fielded assets.
- Work with quality and manufacturing engineering to ensure inspection and acceptance test gates are in place and documented against requirements.
- Use data analysis techniques to highlight key problem areas for deployed products and drive root‑cause analysis & corrective action implementation to closure.
- Develop and implement reliability processes for the business to improve and streamline our design, manufacturing and deployment operations efforts for rapid development.
- Support development milestone reviews through identification of appropriate entry and exit criteria, and work with quality engineering to guide the hand‑off process to production.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum of 12 years experience as a reliability engineer, design/development engineer or test engineer.
- B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering or equivalent technical discipline.
- Experience with safety‑critical hardware & software systems in the defense or aerospace industry, with a preference for experience with aircraft systems.
- Experience or familiarity with MIL‑STD‑810, MIL‑HDBK‑217, 217Plus, MIL‑STD‑461, MIL‑STD‑516C and MIL‑STD‑1629.
- Experience setting up a reliability engineering framework for a product or program, including support of production testing, field testing, data acquisition and data analysis.
- Expertise in reliability analysis techniques, including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis and fault tree analysis.
- Experience with generating qualification testing requirements and executing tests to proactively characterize product behavior and performance.
- Failure investigation/analysis experience with proven track record of solving problems and preventing reoccurrence.
- Design review experience (PDR, CDR, MRR) and confidence in presentation skills across all levels of leadership.
- Able to obtain/maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
- M.S. degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering or equivalent technical discipline.
- Experience with DO‑254, DO‑178, 217Plus, MIL‑HDBK‑472 and ARP‑4754.
- Experience with manufacturing readiness level (MRL) assessments, manufacturing review board (MRB), quality inspection, tooling or calibration.
- Expertise in reliability analysis techniques, including FMEA/FMECA, predictive modeling, Weibull analysis and fault tree analysis.
- Experience with risk management, change control/change management reviews and software/firmware HITL/SITL.
- Experience with HALT, accelerated life testing (ALT), HASS, environmental testing and/or mechanical testing.
- Technical writing experience developing requirements, standards, specifications, user guides and policies.
