Anduril Industries · Costa Mesa, CA · Posted 2 days ago
Shape the supply network for battery and power systems powering Anduril's maritime and maneuver autonomous platforms, from supplier selection through NPI ramp and cost convergence.
Product Sourcing Engineer (Batteries/Energy/Etc.)
Maritime & Maneuver Dominance: Heavy Metal - Engineering & Operations
The Product Sourcing Engineer (Batteries/Energy/Etc.) drives the supply network development and cost management of Anduril's energy storage and power systems across their lifecycles. This role focuses specifically on battery systems, energy storage solutions, power conversion equipment, and related energy infrastructure critical to our Maritime & Maneuver Dominance platforms. You'll collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams, including engineering, quality, and manufacturing, to ensure our autonomous systems have reliable, high-performance energy solutions.
- Conduct supplier selection for battery packs, cells, energy storage systems, and power management components, leveraging our approved supplier list and identifying new strategic partners in the energy sector
- Partner with strategic battery and energy suppliers to accelerate product development via activities such as:
- Concept scoping to quickly solidify energy requirements (capacity, discharge rates, thermal management, safety)
- Feature trade-off/trade tables for battery chemistries, form factors, and energy density vs. cost
- Should cost/clean sheet models for battery assemblies and BMS systems
- Joint design development of custom battery packs and energy systems via clear statements of work
- Testing and simulation of thermal, electrical, and safety performance
- Drive the development and consolidation of a manufacturing BOM for energy systems, working with Quality & Manufacturing to ramp production internally and with our suppliers with high flexibility
- Manage battery and energy-related CAPEX throughout NPI, including test equipment, safety infrastructure, and production tooling
- Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead time and flexibility for critical energy components
- Complete BOM risk assessment for batteries and energy systems, including alternate component sourcing, second-sourcing strategies, and supply chain resilience planning
- Ensure completion of all component qualifications ahead of production, including:
- Battery cell validation and testing (cycle life, abuse testing, environmental)
- Compliance with military specifications and safety standards (MIL-STD, UN 38.3, etc.)
- Supplier quality audits and capability assessments
- Lead battery and energy system cost engineering activities to converge bottoms-up cost curves to product cost targets, maximizing total cost of ownership (TCO) across the product lifecycle
- Manage ad-hoc cost issues including raw material volatility (lithium, cobalt, nickel), tariffs/import-export costs, and cost inflation
- Reduce complexity through commonality optimization, component/supplier rationalization, and standardization of battery platforms across product lines
- Stay current on emerging battery technologies, energy storage innovations, and regulatory requirements affecting the energy supply chain
