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 Reliability Engineering team partners across Anduril's engineering, manufacturing, and operations organizations to ensure our autonomous systems survive real-world conditions and deliver consistent performance for our customers. Our mandate spans the complete product lifecycle - from early concept design through production scale-up and fielded operations. We use data, statistical methods, and engineering analysis to forecast how our systems will perform over time and influence design decisions, including part selection, redundancy strategies, and maintenance approaches. We establish tailored reliability frameworks by program and partner with Quality to drive design robustness, failure prevention, and rapid response to issues in the field. In Battlespace Awareness, Reliability sits alongside Quality and covers both new products moving through design reviews and products already in production and deployed with customers.
ABOUT THE JOB:
We are seeking an experienced Reliability Engineer to join our team in Fort Collins, CO , driving reliability for our Battlespace Awareness product line. This is a hands-on role focused on embedding reliability into early product architecture and detailed design - from early concept trade studies through design validation and transition to manufacturing . On new product introduction (NPI) programs, you will embed reliability into product architecture and detailed design, from concept trade studies through Critical Design Review, design validation, and transition to manufacturing. On products already in production and in the field, you will own the reliability data: MTBF tracking, field failure analysis, sparing, and the reliability growth that comes from closing the loop with design and production. You'll be the reliability champion throughout the design and development process, working closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to ensure designs are robust. Your responsibilities will include conducting reliability predictions and allocations during architecture trades, leading design FMEAs and fault tree analyses to identify and mitigate failure modes, developing and executing design verification test plans, planning and running HALT, HASS, and ESS campaigns, performing stress-derating analysis and parts selection reviews, and assessing design changes for reliability impact throughout the development cycle.
The right person for this role brings deep technical knowledge of hardware reliability and failure mechanisms, has practical experience on product development programs, and can engage credibly with design engineers , Anduril's subcontractors , and customer-facing teams on technical details while maintaining focus on system-level reliability outcomes. This role demands someone who can embed early in design cycles, influence engineering decisions with data and analysis, and take ownership of reliability outcomes as designs mature from concept to launch readiness and through years of fielded operation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
New product introduction (NPI)
Own the reliability campaign for each NPI program: plan and execute HALT to find design margins before qualification, then define the HASS and ESS profiles that screen production units, with gates…
