Anduril Industries is seeking an MRB Analysis Engineer to join the Air Dominance and Strike Aerostructures Engineering Team. This role focuses on designing and analyzing advanced structural parts for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms, with responsibility for the full development lifecycle from conceptual to detailed design and analysis of primary and secondary structures.
You will serve as the engineering authority dispositioning Material Review Board (MRB) non-conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles. Key responsibilities include performing structural substantiation analysis—static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling—using first-principle hand calculations and finite element methods to support use-as-is, repair, and scrap dispositions. You will write clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements.
Additional duties include developing and continuously improving MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions to scale the process as production rates increase. You will monitor trends in recurring non-conformances and drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes teams. Coordination directly with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and M&P to resolve non-conformances quickly without compromising structural integrity is essential. You will conduct trade studies to evaluate repair versus rework versus scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance, and provide on-the-floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, with direct experience dispositioning non-conformances (MRB, liaison, or stress engineering)
- Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures
- Proficiency with finite element analysis tools (NASTRAN or equivalent) and classical hand-calculation methods
- Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for both metallic and composite aircraft structures
- Excellent written communication skills—able to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure
- Self-driven with strong autonomy and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Prior MRB signature/delegated authority on a production aerospace program
- Experience with high-rate or rapidly scaling production environments
- Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards (e.g., MIL-HDBK-5, MIL-STD-1530)
- Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair
- CATIA or Siemens NX proficiency
- Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment
- Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs
