Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming military capabilities through advanced technology. The Engineering Systems and Tools team designs and maintains internal systems, applications, and infrastructure across the enterprise.
As an NX Developer, you will be responsible for developing customizations, automation, and administrative tooling for the Siemens NX CAD environment. You'll work on the full lifecycle of internal developer tools that enable mechanical and electrical engineers to focus on design rather than tool friction. This is product development for an internal user base building mission-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain NX Open API customizations (C/C++, Python, .NET) to automate repetitive design tasks and enforce engineering standards
- Build and manage NX CAD administrative tools including templates, part families, reuse libraries, and check-mate rules
- Create custom NX dialogs, menus, and toolbars that streamline workflows for design teams
- Develop journal-based automation scripts and NX Open applications to accelerate modeling, drafting, and BOM generation
- Collaborate with PLM engineers to ensure seamless NX–Teamcenter integration in managed mode
- Work with solution engineers and cross-functional teams on business-critical projects
- Troubleshoot NX technical issues including deployment, site configuration, and end-user support
Anduril's culture emphasizes ambition, hard work, relentless pursuit of excellence, and deliberate disruption.

Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in a CAD development role, ideally in a fast-paced engineering or manufacturing environment
- Degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Information Systems, or related technical field
- Proficiency in NX Open API development using one or more of: C/C++, Python, Java, or .NET (C#/VB.NET)
- Hands-on experience with NX CAD administration including templates, drafting standards, part families, reuse libraries, and role-based configurations
- Experience creating and maintaining NX journaling scripts and custom automation toolkits
- Strong understanding of CAD data management concepts including naming conventions, revision control, and BOM structures
- Ability to empathize with end-users, turn needs into features, and balance user experience with engineering constraints
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Siemens Teamcenter integration in NX managed mode
- Familiarity with NX Check-Mate for automated design validation
- Experience with NX deployment and site-level configuration
- Knowledge of GRIP or KF (Knowledge Fusion) programming
- Experience integrating CAD tools with downstream systems (PLM, ERP, MES)
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and work autonomously
