Job Summary
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Reliability Engineering team partners across Andurils engineering manufacturing and operations organizations to ensure our autonomous systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance for our customers. Our mandate spans the complete product lifecycle - from early concept design through production scale-up and fielded operations. We use data statistical methods and engineering analysis to forecast how our systems will perform over time and influence design decisions including part selection redundancy strategies and maintenance approaches. We establish tailored reliability frameworks by program and partner with Quality to drive design robustness failure prevention and rapid response to issues in the field.
ABOUT THE JOB
Andurils Reliability & System Safety Engineering organization is hiring Reliability Engineers across our product portfolio. Domains may include Air Dominance & Strike Counter-UAS Maritime Ground Systems Space and Mission Autonomy. These are highly collaborative hands-on roles spanning the entire product lifecycle - from early concept trade studies and detailed design through manufacturing scale-up production and sustained field performance. Youll be the reliability champion throughout the design and development process working closely with mechanical electrical and software engineering teams to ensure designs are robust. Youll also partner with manufacturing quality test operations and field service teams to transition these products from engineering prototypes to production-ready systems. Your scope will span performing predictive reliability analysis and FMEAs developing and executing qualification and production test plans leading root-cause failure investigations from both the factory floor and the field and closing the loop to drive continuous design and process improvements. We are looking for candidates who bring deep technical knowledge of hardware reliability and failure mechanisms practical experience in both design and production environments and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment without direct authority. These roles demand independent data-driven engineers who can build reliability infrastructure from the ground up and take ownership of product performance from concept to deployment.
WHAT YOULL 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 (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) efforts collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to implement design improvements.
- 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. MIL-HDBK-217Plus).
- Develop and execute comprehensive Qualification and Validation Test plans (including environmental life/limit and accelerated testing) to ensure appropriate requirements coverage and de-risking for production readiness; partner with Test Engineering to fixture and instrument test campaigns.
- Work with Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to develop refine and validate assembly integration and testing processes (including inspection/acceptance test gates) to optimize build reliability and reduce time-to-deploy.
- Develop Maintainability prediction models using MIL-HDBK-472 and support the development of Preventative Maintenance & Sparing plans.
- Perform Weibull analysis utilizing data from qualification campaigns production testing and fielded assets to predict failures and identify trends.
- Lead failure investigations on anomalies originating from design validation production testing and field returns; drive root cause analysis and corrective/preventative actions (CAPA) to closure.
- Support Development Milestone Reviews through the identification of appropriate entry and exit criteria guiding the transition of designs from engineering development to high-rate production.
- Develop and implement standardized reliability processes tools and infrastructure to streamline and accelerate our design manufacturing and deployment operations.
