Mechanical Engineer, Support SystemActive$175K
The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Architect, model, and build novel Support Systems and Ground Servicing: Equipment (GSE)—driving hardware from blank-sheet concept down-selection through CAD, physical prototyping, and fielded customer demonstrations.
Rapidly develop full-scale mechanical mock-ups, functional prototypes, and: vehicle interface elements to iteratively de-risk mechanical handling, launch, and recovery concepts.
Design and execute lean, right-sized test plans to validate new mechanisms,: efficiently capturing empirical learnings to drive immediate CAD and hardware design revisions.
Design ruggedized systems tailored for austere land and dynamic maritime: conditions, ensuring field survivability, high reliability, and intuitive human factors.
Apply rigorous engineering practices to design out physical hazards at the: component level (leveraging MIL-STD-882E principles), establishing both built-in mechanical safeguards and streamlined Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Partner closely with Airframe, Powertrain, and Mission Systems teams to: ensure vehicle-to-ground mechanical, electrical, and fluid interfaces are seamlessly integrated.
What they're looking for
- Establish and maintain baseline configuration control across fast-evolving: prototype builds, test fixtures, and field-trial assets.
- BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- + years of professional mechanical engineering experience owning the design,: analysis, build, and functional test of complex physical hardware or mechanisms.
- Strong foundation in first-principles mechanical design, structural: packaging, material selection (metals, composites, hardware), and 3D CAD modeling.
