Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Anduril Expeditionary Systems (AES) team builds large form factor products that deliver computing and communications capabilities to soldiers in the field.
As an Electromechanical Engineer, you will play a critical, hands-on role in bringing advanced defense products to life with significant ownership and technical leadership. Your responsibilities include:
• Lead comprehensive integration of power, control, and harnessing subsystems into robust, finished products, ensuring seamless functionality and reliability.
• Design and develop critical mechanical hardware components, including durable enclosures, electronics packaging solutions, efficient bus bars, and complex cable assemblies built to survive extreme conditions.
• Deliver conceptual and detailed harness routing schemes, define optimal mounting strategies, and implement best practices for reliable and maintainable electrical interconnects.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and mechanical engineers to implement, rigorously test, and validate complex electromechanical systems throughout their lifecycle.
• Contribute actively within a dynamic, high-performing product development team, fostering rapid iteration and technical excellence.
• Travel to field exercises and work directly alongside warfighters, providing critical product support and gathering invaluable feedback for continuous improvement.
• Iterate on designs from concept to production, partnering with manufacturing teams to ensure efficient documentation, build processes, and successful delivery at scale.
You will work on cutting-edge challenges with direct impact on national security, with high autonomy and ownership of projects, alongside a highly skilled and passionate engineering team.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 3+ years of professional engineering experience specifically in electromechanical integration, hardware design, or systems engineering within a relevant industry (defense, aerospace, automotive, robotics).
• Demonstrated expertise and proven track record in successfully integrating electrical components into rugged mechanical assemblies, with examples of past designs.
• Extensive experience with cabling design, wiring harness integration, and managing electromechanical interfaces for products designed for extreme or military-grade use cases.
• High competence with engineering first principles across disciplines: thermal management, structural integrity, material science, power distribution, and signal integrity.
• Proficiency with CAD software and ability to produce high-quality, manufacturing-ready engineering drawings adhering to industry standards.
• BS, M.Eng, MS, or PhD in an engineering field (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics).
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
• Willingness to work onsite at headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Experience selecting, specifying, and integrating ruggedized and MIL-spec connectors (D38999, ITT Cannon, Amphenol).
• Deep familiarity with common electrical interfaces and communication protocols (USB, CAN, Ethernet, RS-485/232, SPI, I2C).
• Strong understanding and practical experience with EMI shielding, EMC best practices, and robust signal integrity design.
• Competency with 3D CAD harness routing tools (NX Electrical Routing, SolidWorks Electrical, CATIA Electrical).
• Advanced understanding of enclosure design, material selection, and manufacturing processes for various environmental protection levels.
• Well versed in ingress protection (IP) standards (IP67, IP68) and practical methods to achieve them in product design.
• Proficiency with Siemens NX and Teamcenter PLM for design and data management.
• Hands-on prototyping experience including machining, shop tools, welding, soldering, and board assembly.
• Practical experience with electrical engineering tools (oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, multimeters).
• Experience with power systems, battery management systems, PCBA design, controls, robotics, and/or motor/servo drive systems.
