Anduril Industries is seeking a Fuel Systems Engineer to join the Air Dominance and Strike Mechanical Engineering Team, responsible for designing and integrating advanced hardware for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms.
In this role, you will design and develop aircraft fuel systems supporting multiple air vehicle programs from concept through testing and qualification. Your responsibilities include performing detailed design of fuel system components such as tubing, pumps, filtration, gauging, venting, and refueling/defueling systems. You will partner with software engineering, systems, testing, manufacturing, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams to develop and integrate fuel system hardware.
You will support component selection, prototype builds, qualification, and testing throughout the development lifecycle. As you progress, you will collaborate with senior engineers and fuel systems architects while gradually taking ownership of increasingly complex fuel system designs. The Air Dominance and Strike Mechanical Design Engineers own the full development lifecycle, from concept generation to integration and flight test, ensuring high-performance, resilient, and scalable mechanical systems that meet the demands of complex, contested environments.
Required qualifications include a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience, plus 3+ years designing aircraft fuel systems or closely related aerospace fluid systems. You must have experience supporting the product lifecycle from concept through testing and qualification, proficiency with Siemens NX or comparable CAD software (CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks), and a strong understanding of fluid mechanics and mechanical design fundamentals. Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills are essential. You must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.
Preferred qualifications include experience working with suppliers, component selection, or prototype development; experience with one-dimensional fluid analysis tools such as AMESIM, Flowmaster, or Easy5; and an active U.S. Secret or Top Secret Security Clearance.
