Anduril Industries is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join the team developing a next-generation soldier-borne Army vision system. This role combines cutting-edge multispectral sensors, compute, thermal management, and ballistic intercept capabilities into a wearable platform designed to enhance soldier safety and situational awareness in combat.
You will own mechanical design and prototyping efforts with significant autonomy, balancing stringent SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power, Cost) requirements with human factors and comfort. The system integrates advanced sensors, thermal management solutions, and ruggedized packaging for extended tactical use.
Key responsibilities include:
- Detailed mechanical design for prototype through production phases, working with metallics and composites
- CAD modeling and engineering drawing generation for complex assemblies
- Ergonomic and human factors analysis to ensure comfort and usability in prolonged tactical environments
- Structural and thermal analysis to inform design trade studies
- Manufacturing process knowledge including molding, laminating, machining, and additive manufacturing
- Environmental considerations for temperature, humidity, and field durability
- Rapid prototyping and iteration cycles
Required qualifications: BS/MS/PhD in engineering, 1–6 years mechanical engineering experience, proficiency in CAD (any platform), and eligibility for U.S. Security Clearance. Strong competencies needed in mechanical design, ergonomics, structural/thermal analysis, manufacturing processes, and environmental engineering.
Preferred experience includes consumer electronics packaging, military qualification programs and MIL-STD requirements, NX/Teamcenter with FEA, and rapid 3D prototyping. This is an opportunity to design systems that directly impact warfighter capability and safety.
