Senior Development Fabrication TechnicianNew
The opportunity
The Development Fabrication team within Mechanical Services turns early engineering concepts into physical hardware for some of Anduril’s highest-priority programs.
What you'll do
Own prototype builds from start to finish , translating engineering drawings,: CAD, and work orders into finished hardware ready for integration or testing.
Determine the best build sequence, fabrication approach, tooling, fixturing,: and material preparation strategy for each job.
Fabricate small through large-scale assemblies using layout, fitting,: welding, cutting, drilling, grinding, forming, sawing, and conventional machining.
Build complex weldments across steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other: alloys using GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW processes.
Design and build weld fixtures and tooling that maintain alignment and tight tolerances during fabrication.
Identify fit-up, tolerance, accessibility, distortion, sequencing, and: manufacturability problems before they become integration problems .
What they're looking for
- Experience working in aerospace, defense, automotive, motorsports,: experimental vehicles, or other high-performance prototype environments .
- Experience designing and fabricating complex weld fixtures.
- Demonstrated ability to hold tight tolerances on large fabricated assemblies and weldments.
- Familiarity with CAD tools such as NX or SolidWorks .
- Experience working directly with design engineers during prototype development.
- Working knowledge of aerospace or defense welding standards such as AWS: D17.1, AWS D1.1, or NAVSEA requirements .
- Experience mentoring junior fabricators or helping establish shop fabrication standards.
