Anduril Industries is seeking an NX CAD Support Engineer to establish, maintain, and optimize the Siemens NX CAD environment that powers the engineering and manufacturing teams. This role is instrumental in supporting designers and engineers with reliable, performant, and standardized tools to rapidly innovate on cutting-edge defense solutions.
You will develop, implement, monitor, and optimize the Siemens NX CAD environment, including templates, customization files, role-based configurations, and default settings across the organization. You will provide specialized technical support for CAD software applications (NX, SolidWorks) used by design and engineering teams, manage the incoming IT helpdesk queue (e.g., Jira Service Desk), and resolve Tier 1 and Tier 2 technical support tickets related to CAD/PLM software issues while meeting established Service Level Agreements.
Additional responsibilities include onboarding new hires by setting up CAD-capable workstations, user accounts, and software permissions; creating and maintaining user-facing self-service documentation and internal IT knowledge base articles; providing technical leadership and structured training to engineering and design teams; and mentoring less experienced users as the primary point of escalation for NX-related issues.
You will coordinate configuration and improvement projects with engineering, manufacturing, IT, quality, and external service providers (Siemens), acting as the technical point of contact for significant CAD/PLM issues. You will lead or champion reliability, capability, and continuous improvement projects related to the CAD/PLM environment, quantifying benefits and implementing sustainable improvements. You will also ensure CAD configuration activities comply with site security, quality, and regulatory standards, assessing and mitigating operational and data-security risks related to the engineering toolset.
