Staff Fluids Systems Engineer, OmenActive$253K
The opportunity
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.
What you'll do
Lead technical efforts to define system requirements, develop architectures,: evaluate trade studies, and establish methodologies for analyzing, verifying, and validating fluids systems.
Perform system-level analysis including pressure drop, flow distribution,: thermal balance, transient response, water hammer, slosh, two-phase flow, and CFD as needed to support design decisions.
Work in close partnership with propulsion, structures, electrical, avionics,: controls, and software teams to ensure fluids systems integrate cleanly into a reliable, flexible, cost-effective vehicle.
Specify, source, and qualify fluids components including pumps, valves,: actuators, accumulators, heat exchangers, lines, fittings, seals, filters, and tanks.
Spearhead design reviews, conduct hands-on rig and aircraft-level testing,: visit vendors, and develop hardware test plans that validate performance across the flight envelope.
Define and own fuel system architecture suitable for tail-sitter operation,: including center-of-gravity management, vent and pressurization design, and unusable-fuel characterization across all attitudes.
What they're looking for
- Support thermal management of propulsion, avionics, and payload heat loads: under hover, transition, and cruise conditions.
- Actively contribute to the enhancement of team tools, templates, processes,: and standards for fluids systems engineering.
- Cultivate a vibrant, positive, dedicated, high-energy, educational, and enjoyable community environment.
- Balance operational needs across vehicle subsystems while optimizing for: development speed, mass, manufacturability, and cost.
