Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking an Engineer to join the Hardware Platform organization's Engineering Systems & Tools team. This team is responsible for optimizing hardware design and development through advanced engineering software solutions, ensuring design workflows are efficient, scalable, and integrated with industry standards.
In this role, you will be involved in the internal development, deployment, and adoption of Anduril's CAD, PLM, and broader design engineering software ecosystem. You will work with hardware engineering and software leadership to develop and implement novel design engineering software strategies that enhance productivity, reduce cycle times, and improve design quality. Key responsibilities include:
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to align the design engineering tools roadmap with business objectives
• Monitoring industry trends and best practices to keep hardware design processes at the cutting edge
• Driving adoption of CAD, PLM, PDM, and related engineering software solutions across the company, owning the feedback loop between users and developers
• Partnering with design engineers to understand workflow pain points and translate them into actionable improvements in tools, templates, and automation
• Defining and enforcing CAD/PLM standards, data governance, and best practices across hardware engineering teams
• Creating and maintaining comprehensive documentation of design engineering software standards and best practices
You will need strong technical and analytical skills that can be applied in a real-world environment to drive outcomes for the business and the engineers who depend on these tools daily.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, User Experience Design, or related field

• High sense of user empathy and ability to manage and communicate with stakeholders
• Ability to quickly understand current design engineering workflows and potential issues across the product development lifecycle
• Strength working with hardware engineering leadership to conceptualize solutions and understand requirements
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying complex information clearly
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and lead cross-functional projects
• Adept at managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced hardware development environment
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Experience administering or architecting enterprise CAD and PLM platforms (Teamcenter, NX, Enovia, 3DEXPERIENCE)
• Programming/scripting experience (Python, C#, VBA, or CAD/PLM-specific APIs) to build custom automations and integrations
• Experience deploying or scaling engineering tools across multi-site or rapidly growing organizations
• Familiarity with Model-Based Definition (MBD), configuration management, and engineering change processes
• Prior experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other regulated hardware industries
• Exposure to integrations between design engineering tools and downstream MES/ERP systems
