Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

• Lead the full mechanical design lifecycle for rugged, mission-critical: hardware, from initial assessment of existing architecture (mounting, housings, thermal management, integration points), documenting tribal knowledge, and evaluating CAD models, to identifying design gaps and technical debt.

• Drive design evolution and innovation , translating operational feedback and: evolving requirements into detailed mechanical designs.

• Own the complete CAD-to-prototype pipeline , including design, coordinating: fabrication, and validating performance through rigorous benchtop testing.

• Ensure robust mechanical integration across complex subsystems (e.g., LiDAR,: weapon mounts, power systems, electronics) and design for extreme operational environments (shock, vibration, environmental sealing) and field maintainability.

• Serve as the mechanical authority for product quality , investigating and: resolving complex issues, implementing permanent corrective actions, and driving Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) improvements.

• Manage all engineering documentation , including production drawings,: technical specifications, and the engineering Bill of Materials (BOM), while overseeing configuration and change management processes.

What they're looking for

• Support qualification campaigns to validate operational capabilities and: collaborate extensively with cross-functional teams (electrical/firmware, manufacturing, test/evaluation) to achieve program goals.
• Engage directly with warfighters in the field , traveling to exercises to: collect feedback and provide critical product support.
• B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
• + years of professional mechanical engineering experience with a demonstrated: track record of design ownership in a team setting.
