The opportunity
Anduril's Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team is rebuilding U. S.
What you'll do
Connect polymeric material properties, characterization, and processing: fundamentals to solid rocket motor design, formulation, testing, manufacturing, and performance
Build and maintain material specifications that connect system performance: requirements to formulation for polymeric materials spanning raw materials, components, and assemblies, including liners, seals, propellants, cases (metal and composite), ablatives, insulators, adhesives, and coatings
Develop standard testing procedures to characterize the mechanical,: viscoelastic, thermal, and surface behavior of polymeric materials across solid rocket motor components and assemblies
Create process specifications for manufacturing operations including: propellant processing, ablative manufacturing, insulation/liner bonding and surface preparation, surface modification, coating application, adhesive curing, heat treatment, and final assembly
Run materials characterization for polymeric materials including mechanical: testing (tensile, shear, flexural, bonding), thermal analysis, rheology, cure kinetics, surface energy and interfaces, and ablation performance
Develop design allowables from characterization results per industry standards (CMH-17, JANNAF)
What they're looking for
- Partner with design and manufacturing teams to review drawings and: manufacturing plans, support design reviews, and troubleshoot production issues
- Work across science, engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program teams: to turn mission requirements into right-sized material and process solutions
- Contribute to cost-reduction and cycle-time improvement efforts for high-rate: production and prepare technical documentation that lets us move fast without losing rigor
- Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Polymer Engineering, Polymer Science,: Chemical Engineering, or a related field
