ABOUT THE JOB
The Production Master Data Engineer will design and build the tools that keep master data accurate across Anduril's production operations. Rather than fixing data issues one at a time, this role builds the automations, integrations, and validation controls that prevent them. The Engineer will partner with Production teams, IT, and Business Systems to scope and deliver scalable master data solutions across multiple business systems. This position is hands-on and execution-focused, shipping practical solutions quickly and improving them as Anduril's production operations scale.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Design and own automations, bots, and data pipelines (Python, APIs, scheduled jobs) that replace manual master data processes, including error handling, version control, and ongoing enhancements.
- Implement automated validation rules and monitoring that catch master data errors before they impact production.
- Integrate PLM, ERP, MES, and other production systems to keep master data, engineering changes, and revisions synchronized.
- Investigate systemic data issues and engineer permanent fixes.
- Apply AI/LLM-based solutions to streamline data enrichment, classification, and self-service master data requests.
- Deliver dashboards and metrics that give stakeholders visibility into master data quality and its impact on production.
- Partner with Production teams to scope requirements and develop tools that close operational gaps.
- Lead data requirements, loads, and validation for system enhancements, upgrades, migrations, and new deployments.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in data engineering, master data management, or business systems supporting manufacturing or supply chain.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL for building and maintaining production-grade automations and data pipelines, using software engineering best practices (e.g., version control).
- Experience building REST API integrations between enterprise systems.
- Working knowledge of ERP master data and how it drives downstream production processes, with a strong commitment to data accuracy.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with data visualization and reporting tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar.
- Experience with large-scale ERP implementations.
- Experience with RPA or workflow automation platforms.
- Experience applying AI/LLM tools to data quality or automation.
- Experience in hardware development, aerospace and defense, or early-stage environments.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to clearly convey complex data insights across organizational levels.
