By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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.\nABOUT THE TEAM\nMaritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build the software-defined shipyard. That means the full technology stack running Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, ArsenalOS, our manufacturing execution system that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations.\nThis work is anchored by Arsenal-2, our software-defined shipyard being built in Baltimore County, Maryland. It's part of a new $6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base. ArsenalOS is the digital backbone of that yard. It connects fabrication and outfitting to material movement and inspection. Planners get one real-time view of production. We aren't waiting for the yard to open. Development is already underway here in Orange County, California. The team is proving out the manufacturing methods and digital workflows that will scale across the shipyard network.\nMDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology. Our systems live where factory-floor machines, edge compute, and OT networks meet enterprise platforms and cloud infrastructure. We incubate solutions close to the production line, validate them with real operators building real hardware, harden them for reliability and security, and then scale them across multiple sites. The environment is fast, physical, and consequential. When our systems go down, production stops. The output of our work is not a dashboard: it is a ship.\nThis is not a support function. It is a strategic investment by Anduril in the premise that digitizing the manufacturing lifecycle end-to-end, from engineering definition through scheduling through execution through field feedback, is how Heavy Metal will out-build, out-adapt, and out-scale the traditional defense industrial base. MDP is scaling from a founding team to 70+ engineers across multiple U.S. sites. You will be joining early, working on hard problems with real operational stakes, and shaping how manufacturing software is built at Anduril from the ground up.\nABOUT THE JOB\nAnduril is standing up model-based manufacturing in a managed NX CAM and Teamcenter environment. Others define the governing methods and build the platforms. The MB-Manufacturing Capability Engineer builds and matures the capability that sits on top of them: you design the process, program the part, build the automation and process tools that remove manual steps, cut it, find out what breaks, and turn what you learn into standard work the shop can repeat. You are a machinist-programmer who writes code, and you spend time at the machine and in the editor. \nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nDevelop Manufacturing, CAM, and Tooling Tools and Methods- NX CAM templates and scripts, tool and fixture library structures, and post processorauthoring technologies\nDevelop 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 \nProve each workflow on a real machine with real Anduril hardware before release, and record the evidence and defects found \nMature CAM and tooling workflows to production readiness, and capture them as standard work, templates, and playbooks \nTroubleshoot failures across the model, CAM setup, post, program transfer, and machine, and fix the right layer \nTurn shop-floor pain points into scoped automation with a measured before-and-after \nDrive enablement: work instructions, walkthroughs, and training so programmers and machinists run each workflow without you \nThis 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. \nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\n7+ years of CNC programming and machining,manufacturing process designand development \nExperience in an NSE MBE Maturity Level 4 Model Based Enterprise / Model Based Definition environment \nG-code fluency on two or more controls (Sinumerik, Heidenhain, Fanuc, Okuma) and post processor modification, verified on the machine \nAutomation development in Python, NX Open, C#, or similar, kept in version control \nCAM simulation and verification development experience (Vericutor NX machine simulation) \nTooling and fixturing knowledge, including tool library management \nProcess planning, process modeling, or process design experience (e.g., routings, process flows, BOP)\nTroubleshooting skill and experience writing standard work or training that others adopted \n5+ years in a regulated manufacturing environment (aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, or medical device) \nOn site in Orange County, California; exceptions may be made for preferred candidates \nEligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nAI/ML injection into Manufacturing, Equipment, and Tooling digital workflows/processes \nNew Product Introduction, Machine Procurement, Factory Acceptance Testing \nNX CAM and NX Open in a Teamcenter-managed environment \nDNC and machine-level program version control \nMachining simulation or cutting-parameter optimization (e.g., Third Wave AdvantEdge) \nModel-based CAM and process planning from staged NX models and PMI, including Teamcenter Manufacturing \nLarge-part, 5-axis, mill-turn, or additive machining \nShipbuilding, submarine, or aerospace structures experience \nUS Salary Range\n$147,000—$196,000 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: \nBenefits\nAt Anduril, we invest in our people.
