ABOUT THE TEAM
The Anduril Battlespace Awareness Radar team develops state-of-the-art radar systems to tackle significant security challenges for America and its allies. We're seeking a Quality Inspector to serve as a critical quality gatekeeper for radar hardware, with a primary focus on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and RF subassemblies. In this role you'll partner closely with RF engineers, manufacturing engineers, technicians and operations to ensure every board, module, and assembly that moves through production meets the rigorous standards required for defense-grade hardware.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Perform detailed inspection of PCBAs, RF subassemblies, and cable assemblies to IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 standards for workmanship, solder quality, and conformance to engineering drawings.
- Conduct incoming, inline and EOL inspection of purchased PCBs, RF components, and materials to verify conformance to drawings, specifications, and purchase order requirements before release to production.
- Perform measurements using calibrated equipment (calipers, micrometers, height gauges, microscopes) and support equipment calibration and material shelf-life programs.
- Verify assemblies match the latest engineering revisions and BOMs, and document inspection results in the ERP/MES system.
- Identify and document non-conformances, support Material Review Board (MRB) disposition, and participate in root-cause and corrective action (8D, RCCA, or equivalent).
- Contribute to the development and refinement of inspection plans, work instructions, and acceptance criteria alongside Quality and Manufacturing Engineering.
- Support internal and external audits and drive continuous-improvement projects that raise quality without unnecessary process overhead.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, engineering, and supplier quality to resolve quality issues and drive process improvements.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of quality inspection experience in an electronics manufacturing environment, with a minimum of 2 years inspecting PCBAs or electronic assemblies.
- Hands-on experience inspecting electronic and RF assemblies (PCBs, wire harnesses, power supplies, or microwave/RF components) and using RF testing Equipment (VNAs, Oscilloscopes, SA, Multimeter, etc.)
- Current or prior IPC-A-610 and/or IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification.
- Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, electrical schematics, wire run lists, and detailed work instructions.
- Experience with incoming/receiving inspection and precision measuring instruments, including microscopic visual inspection.
- Strong attention to detail with the confidence to make difficult reject calls when product reliability is at stake.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret clearance; U.S. citizenship required.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or radar/RF hardware production environments.
- J-STD-001 soldering inspection certification or equivalent.
- Familiarity with RF-specific assemblies — waveguide, antenna arrays, or microwave component integration.
- Experience in a facility operating under AS9100 or ISO 9001 QMS.
- Associate or technical degree in a related field.
- Experience with ECAD tools (e.g., Altium) for reviewing designs during inspection.
- Practical experience with high-reliability harness and circuit board automated testing.
