Full Job Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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. ABOUT THE TEAM The Air Dominance and Strike Division is one of Anduril's fastest growing, most technically complex divisions. We develop and build collaborative combat aircraft, missiles, and the software that powers these autonomous weapons. We are scaling production of a first-of-kind autonomous aircraft at Arsenal 1 in Ohio, and quality is not just a compliance function here. It is a cost lever, a schedule lever, and a credibility lever with the customer. ABOUT THE JOB The system that connects incoming quality to defects to root cause to cost impact does not exist at scale yet. You are going to build it. You are not a quality engineer. You are the person who makes quality engineering outcomes measurable, sustainable, and tied to dollars. Success in this position hinges on three key facets: Cost-of-Poor-Quality (COPQ) ownership - you own the financial narrative of quality. Every defect, every escape, every rework hour has a dollar value and you make that visible, traceable, and actionable. Cross-team accountability - when a defect pattern emerges, you trace it to the source, get the right people solving it, and prove it is fixed in cost and cycle time, not just defect count. Problems die at the root. Technical credibility - you understand manufacturing
