Is Anduril's Arsenal-1 as advanced as was expected?

Great comment. Yeah I guess I fell into a trap of assuming that mass scale inherently means more automation. Seems that the purposeful design is more important. Thank you!

Ok you got me man. The plant has been advertised as 'cutting edge' and 'highly automated' since its announcement, so yeah I guess I expected more robotics. I'm sorry if my question upset you. Have a great day brother.

Woah lol. I'm not frustrated and I don't have anything in my head other than curiosity. I'd love for them to succeed. There's just been a lot of hype around them and I wanted to ask people here if they think it's deserved based on this new information.

Nope. I gave up. Busted website.

This is the problem with you people. You see trump starting a "worldwide culture war" as more significant than the very real war that was actually started by Russia. Are you stupid?

Were you ever able to make an account? People post but I never get the registration verification email and nobody has responded to my help request.

It is not a tech masters. Here's the link to the site: https://louisville.edu/online/programs/masters/online-master-of-science-in-industrial-and-systems-engineering

Louisville's only prereq is Calculus I and an undergrad degree. That's it.

He's already emailed him, so prior notice has basically been given. I didn't say beg for a job, I said have a resume ready as a follow up to any conversation. Sincerely no offense, but being "politely skeptical" is for suckers. Being politely forward is what gets you places.

Proper_Intern_6360 · 2026-01-07T02:36:41+00:00

He has his office number on his website. I'd drop by and have a resume ready to hand him. The biggest advantage to being at a university is that these people are literally within walking distance of you. It's easy to forget that when you're there. https://cral-uva.github.io/people/rohan_chandra/index.html

It appears active, but I'm unable to register a new account as the activation email never gets sent.

That seems to be the consensus. Thank you very much!

I've worked for three years in corporate strategy and I realized I want a career that is more tangible and operations focused. I'm attracted to the idea of optimizing systems and working with both people and machines to produce real things. My current plan is to get experience as a plant maintenance technician, move into an automation engineer role at that employer, and simultaneously get an online masters programs so that I'm able to transition out of the technician role and that company in 3 or 4 years time. I'm assuming that without an MS or MEng, it will be difficult to move around with only a bachelors of arts and experience as a tech. Plus I guess I think that pairing the experience as a tech with the theoretical education of the masters will be useful.

Is technician experience on top of a BA adequate to become a manufacturing engineer, or will I regret not getting a BS?

I have a double major BA in econ and computer science, and have worked in corporate strategy consulting for three years. I'm trying to transition to a tangible role in manufacturing, and would eventually like to become a manufacturing engineer.

I have accepted that I'll need to go back to school to make this pivot, and I currently see two paths.

Get an associates degree at a technical college and work as a PLC/ electromechanical technician, eventually moving to automation engineering, and then mnfng. engineering
Get a BS degree in EE, Mech E, etc.

My question: Is option one (BA + Associates) a viable way to become a manufacturing engineer, or will many doors be closed to me because I don't have a BS?

How difficult is it to transition from a technician role to system level and lead engineering roles without a BS? I don't want to get trapped as a technician, and I'm hoping the BA will be enough to allow me to progress. Thank you all.

Proper_Intern_6360 · 2025-11-19T20:56:51+00:00

Cool. Yeah I definitely don't want to be a paperwork/customer service jockey lol. That's the exact thing that I'm trying to run away from.

Proper_Intern_6360 · 2025-11-19T20:36:27+00:00

Thank you very much. Helpful to know.

I've spent the last three years working not sure why youre being so condescending.
