Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company develops AI-powered systems and cutting-edge autonomy, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology for military applications.
As a Mechanical Engineer in the Manufacturing organization, you will design complex mechanical assemblies for PCBA and product-level test systems. Your work will focus on designing fixtures with tight tolerances and pneumatic/manually actuated assemblies, including surfaces to mate supports, jigs, and clamps to shipping products. You will guide product design teams through your expertise in Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT), and enable complex analysis using FEA tools. The team builds and sources large electromechanical fixtures for manufacturing test systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design mechanical assemblies using professional CAD design tools
- Work with rapid fabrication teams and third-party suppliers to source equipment
- Integrate designs into Anduril's PDM systems, following the same processes as product design teams
- Collaborate with design teams to integrate mechanical DFM/DFT requirements into products
- Develop complex electromechanical systems within multidisciplinary groups, working directly with software and electrical engineers
- Generate test work instructions for technician teams in MES and train technicians on equipment use
- Determine root cause of product failures and recommend corrective actions (RCCA)
- Analyze test data, document results, and provide detailed reports to identify defects and improvement areas
- Collaborate with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields OR 6+ years of advanced knowledge acquired through work experience and/or intellectual instruction in lieu of degree
- 3+ years of relevant industry experience with emphasis on product designs that have gone to manufacturing
- Expert capability with at least one Mechanical Design package (CAD software)
- Experience with contract manufacturers, in-house fabrication, and prototyping processes
- Familiarity with electronics test equipment such as load cells, strain gauges, multimeters, etc.
- Strong root cause analysis skills for non-conforming hardware
- Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal, and communication skills
- Familiarity with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems
- Experience working on projects involving integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems
- Ability to obtain and maintain US DoD Secret clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- 3+ years of relevant industry experience
- Pursuing a Master's of Science in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Familiarity with NX and Solidworks CAD design packages
- Experience with PCBA test fixturing design
- Experience working alongside Industrial Design or Product Design teams (surfacing, ergonomics, etc.)
- Experience with mechanical systems-related testing (Thermal, Vibration, etc.)
