The opportunity
At Anduril, our Structures Engineers are at the forefront of defense technology, crafting high-impact, cutting-edge robust structural solutions that redefine innovation. You'll dive into a diverse range of projects, partnering with brilliant minds across disciplines to engineer…
What you'll do
Design & Architect Robust Structures: Lead the conceptualization, design, and detailed engineering of complex primary & secondary structures and components using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX), ensuring performance in demanding operational environments.
Conduct Advanced Structural Analysis: Perform comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for static, dynamic, thermal, fatigue, and vibration loads, validating design integrity and predicting performance under extreme conditions.
Specify Materials & Manufacturing Processes: Select and qualify appropriate materials (metals, composites, plastics) and manufacturing processes (machining, additive manufacturing, molding, welding) to meet structural requirements, cost targets, and production scalability.
Prototype & Validate Physical Systems: Support the fabrication and assembly of prototypes, design and execute rigorous structural qualification tests (e.g., shock, vibration, environmental), and meticulously analyze test data to inform design refinements.
Collaborate for Integrated Solutions: Partner closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, and Manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical structures with electronics and other subsystems, optimizing for performance, manufacturability (DFM/DFA), and reliability.
