Anduril Industries Senior Model Based Manufacturing Capability Engineer at Anduril Industries works on software and digital systems for shipbuilding factories, focusing on real-time data infrastructure and manufacturing execution systems. The role involves developing and scaling manufacturing methods and digital workflows.

Responsibilities

Develop Manufacturing, CAM, and Tooling Tools and Methods - NX CAM templates and scripts, tool and fixture library structures, and post processor authoring technologies
Develop process modeling and process design tools and methods that define how parts are made, so process plans are built from the model rather than by hand
Prove each workflow on a real machine with real Anduril hardware before release, and record the evidence and defects found
Mature CAM and tooling workflows to production readiness, and capture them as standard work, templates, and playbooks
Troubleshoot failures across the model, CAM setup, post, program transfer, and machine, and fix the right layer
Turn shop-floor pain points into scoped automation with a measured before-and-after
Drive enablement: work instructions, walkthroughs, and training so programmers and machinists run each workflow without you
This role does not own governance or release authority for manufacturing processes, core NX/Teamcenter/Forge platform development, or standing production programming, and has no direct reports.
