The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. The team is seeking an RF Manufacturing Engineer to help bridge the gap between radar hardware design and scalable production. They are responsible for all aspects of radar system development from ideation through initial this role you will work closely with interdisciplinary technical teams including RF engineers systems engineers and operations to develop and optimize manufacturing processes for complex RF and electronic assemblies ensuring radar systems transition smoothly from prototype to full-rate production.

• Own the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for RF electronic assemblies from initial prototyping through transition to full production.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing process documentation including assembly instructions workflow/routing inspection plans and tool and fixture designs for RF hardware and electronic subassemblies.
• Troubleshoot complex electrical and RF manufacturing issues on the production line applying root cause analysis and corrective action methodologies to permanently resolve problems.
• Drive continuous improvement of manufacturing processes through data analysis process capability studies and application of best practices to improve yield reduce cycle time and decrease cost.
• Support design-for-manufacturability efforts by providing real-time feedback to RF and electrical design engineers on producibility component selection and assembly constraints.
• Develop and validate test procedures and fixtures for electronic products components and RF systems to ensure production quality and performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering quality supply chain and operations teams to support new product introductions with accelerated time to market.
• Support critical customer-facing hardware demonstrations and use these interactions to better understand manufacturing requirements and end-user needs.
• Travel to test sites supplier facilities or partner locations as needed.

• BS in Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering or a related engineering field
• 3 years of engineering experience in an electronics or RF hardware production environment
• Familiarity with RF Test Software such as Keysight IO library suite (BenchVue) NIMAX or equivalent
