Actuation EngineerNew$171K
The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Own and drive the design and development of actuation systems for control: surfaces and other electromechanical/hydraulic subsystems, from initial concept through flight test and low rate production.
Define actuation requirements (torque, speed, precision, environmental) in: close collaboration with structures, controls, and systems engineering.
Select, size, and validate actuators, motors, gearboxes, linkages, and: associated hardware to meet performance, weight, and reliability targets.
Work in close partnership with electrical and software teams to ensure: actuator control, feedback, and health monitoring are fully integrated into the vehicle's flight control system.
Spearhead design reviews, conduct structural and dynamic analysis, and: develop test plans to verify actuator performance under flight-representative loads and conditions.
Support component-level bench testing, subsystem integration, and: vehicle-level ground and flight test campaigns.
What they're looking for
- Actively contribute to the enhancement of team tools, templates, processes,: and standards for actuation subsystem development.
- Cultivate a vibrant, positive, dedicated, high-energy, educational, and enjoyable team environment.
- Balance operational needs across vehicle subsystems while optimizing for: development speed, mass, manufacturability, and cost.
- Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed.
