Low Observables Technician

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 Anduril’s Low Observables Team is seeking a Low Observable Technician to join our team.The Air Dominance and Strike Low Observable Team are advancing into the next generation of LO Technology to enhance the survivability and effectiveness of unmanned air systems. Our Low Observables team is responsible for designing, analyzing, testing, manufacturing, and sustaining LO aircraft ensuring our systems remain undetectable in contested environments. We are looking for a skilled Low Observable Technician to join our advanced manufacturing team. This is a hybrid role bridging composite structures and LO coatings — you will perform composite bodywork, aerodynamic surface finishing, gap and seam treatment, panel fitting, and structural surface preparation on low observable aircraft. You will also directly support the LO paint team during coating operations, including masking, material handling, wet- edge assistance, and hand-application of fillers and edge treatments. Think of this role as the person who makes the airframe paint-ready and keeps it that way — you own the surface geometry, smoothness, and structural interfaces that determine whether coatings will perform. When the painters spray, you’re in the booth alongside them. When a panel doesn’t fit flush, you’re the one who makes it right. If you have hands-on composite skills, understand what LO surfaces demand, and want to work on hardware that matters — this role is for you. The right person for this role can demonstrate past holistic ownership on solving a technical challenge with a creative, physical, solution that they either personally manufacturing or oversee manufacturing on, in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment. If you are someone who thrives in such an environment, then this role is for you. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Perform composite bodywork including sanding, filling, fairing, and contouring of carbon fiber/epoxy airframe surfaces to achieve aerodynamic and signature-compliant surface profiles. - Apply and finish aerodynamic fillers, gap fillers, and seam sealants to panel interfaces, fastener locations, access doors, and structural joints to maintain LO surface continuity. - Fit, trim, and install composite panels, access covers, and LO-critical fairings to engineering tolerances, ensuring flush fits and minimal step/gap at all interfaces. - Fabricate minor composite repair patches, shims, and filler details using wet layup, pre-preg, or paste adhesive systems as directed by engineering. - Sand, contour, and blend repair areas to match surrounding outer mold line (OML) geometry using templates, contour gauges, and straightedges. - Perform full surface preparation of composite structures for LO coatings - Prepare masking layouts for complex LO coating schemes including multi-zone thickness requirements, edge treatments, and keep-out areas per engineering drawings. - Support LO paint team during spray operations: material handling, booth setup, wet edge assistance, panel rotation/positioning, and environmental monitoring. - Hand-apply LO edge treatments, RAM tapes, gap fill compounds, and conductive sealants to areas inaccessible by spray application. - Perform touch-up and localized hand-application of primer and LO coatings in tight access…
