The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Own Hardware: Take environmental control systems from concept through real-world use in the hands of warfighters.
Drive the Supplier Relationship: Partner closely with our HVAC/ECU supplier to specify, evaluate, and refine hardware for our mission sets, driving requirements, reviewing designs, and making component and integration trade-offs.
Build the In-House Capability: Establish the technical foundation and roadmap to bring HVAC/ECU design fully in-house over time.
Size for Extreme Environments: Apply thermodynamics, heat transfer, and psychrometrics from first principles to size systems for high-ambient cooling, sub-zero heating, and high-latent-load conditions.
Optimize with Analysis: Use CFD and thermal analysis to evaluate and improve airflow, coil performance, condensation management, and packaging in tightly constrained, ruggedized enclosures.
Engineer for Survival: Apply first principles, analysis, and testing to make sure designs survive battlefield conditions (blowing sand, salt air, shock and vibration, and air/land/sea transport).
What they're looking for
- Get Hands-On: Build and test prototypes and first articles yourself.
- Deliver at Scale: Iterate on your designs and work with suppliers and our manufacturing team to build and deliver them at volume.
- + years of professional mechanical engineering experience, with a focus in: HVAC, refrigeration, or environmental control unit design.
- Demonstrated experience in vapor-compression system design (component: selection, sizing, and integration of compressors, heat exchangers and coils, refrigerant circuits, and air-moving equipment).
