The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Lead the end-to-end conceptual design process for complex UAV and missile: platforms, including configuration trade studies, mission analysis, and architecture selection.
Define and mature aircraft sizing methodologies, deploying parametric: modeling and design optimization tools (such as MATLAB, Isight, HEEDS, and NX Unigraphics) to establish robust design paths.
Drive the design of Outer Mold Lines (OML) and Inner Mold Lines (IML),: establishing the geometric standards for downstream analysis teams (CFD, FEA, CEM).
Serve as the main technical decision-maker for early-stage pursuits, shaping: concept white papers, customer proposals, and technology roadmaps in partnership with Chief Engineers.
Apply engineering intuition and expertise to evaluate configuration: alternatives for low-observable (RF/IR signature) survivability, propulsion integration, and structural feasibility.
Manage high-level vehicle trade studies including engine selection, control: effector layout, fuel systems, weapons integration, and mass properties.
What they're looking for
- Mentor and develop junior configuration and design engineers, establishing: standards for CAD modeling, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and design release.
- Interface directly with integrated product teams (IPTs), suppliers, and: military customers to present configuration concepts and resolve challenging design problems.
- Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
