Mechanical Launch Integration Engineer, SpaceActive$175K

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U. S.

What you'll do

• Author and negotiate Launch Requirements Documents and Interface Control: Documents (ICDs) that define the mechanical, electrical, and environmental interfaces between the spacecraft and launch vehicle

• Coordinate delivery of analysis and data products to and from the launch: provider – mass properties, coupled loads analysis (CLA) inputs and results, structural and thermal FEMs, separation and clearance analyses, range safety documentation, MSDS, and test reports

• Define and verify spacecraft compatibility with launch environments: (quasi-static, vibration, acoustic, shock, and thermal), reconciling launch provider levels against the spacecraft design and test program

• Own the verification and compliance matrix against launch provider requirements for spacecraft and payloads

• Plan and lead launch site operations: transport, fit-checks, propellant loading support, integrated testing, encapsulation, and day-of-launch activities

• Support integration and readiness reviews (e.g., MRR, LRR, FRR) and present: launch readiness status internally and to customers

What they're looking for

• Experience writing code or automating functions to improve efficiency and: delivery to customers and launch providers (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
• Experience supporting spacecraft environmental test campaigns (structural, thermal-vacuum, EMI/EMC)
• Experience designing and integrating mechanical and electrical ground support: equipment for environmental test and launch integration campaigns
• Familiarity with launch vehicle user’s guides and with ride-share and: dedicated launch provider interface and environmental requirements
• Direct experience running coupled loads, separation and clearance, or structural and thermal analyses
• Experience working as a stack integrator and coordinating interfaces across multiple spacecraft providers
• Familiarity with range safety, launch licensing, and orbital debris: mitigation (e.g., FAA Part 450, ODMSP, NASA-STD-8719.14)
