As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril's Reliability Engineering organization is seeking an experienced Sr. Reliability Engineer to join our team in support of our Connected Warfare programs. The Reliability Engineering team 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 at Anduril, you will leverage your extensive knowledge of advanced reliability tools and methodologies to drive excellence into our products. You will support the Systems, Hardware, & 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 ground‑based sensing, compute, & communications 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 multi‑disciplinary teams, and be accountable for results, then this role is for you.

General Design & Development:

• Support and review system block diagrams, interface control documents, and schematics for compliance, redundancy, and accuracy against requirements and concept of operations.
• Partner with Design & Development Engineers to document requirements and proactively identify risk through tools such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Physics of Failure Methodologies, and Analysis + Test Data Reviews.
• 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.

Reliability Predictive Analysis:

• Perform predictive reliability analysis to calculate probability of loss of control, loss of asset, MTTF, and MTBF utilizing Anduril requirements, specifications, and COTS specifications as well as leveraging MIL‑HDBK‑217 Plus.
• Lead FMECA (Failure Mode and Effects Criticality Analysis) evaluations and calculations.
• Lead maintainability prediction models using MIL‑HDBK‑472.
• Perform Weibull analysis utilizing test data from the Qualification campaign and data from fielded assets.

Validation &

Qualification:

• Create and tailor R&D Test and Qualification Test requirements & plans, and manage the Qualification & Traceability matrix alongside FMEA documentation to ensure appropriate requirements coverage.
• Drive root cause analysis and corrective action for issues found during Qualification testing.
• Publish the Qualification Verification Matrix and Test Reports for the customer.

End to End Support, Continuous Improvement, and Performance Monitoring:

• Work with Quality Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure all inspection and acceptance test gates are in place and documented into a clear process against requirements.
• Develop and implement reliability processes for the business to improve and streamline our Design,…
