Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company's systems are powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that integrates thousands of data streams into a real-time 3D command and control center.
The Engineering Systems and Tools team designs, builds, and maintains internal systems, applications, and infrastructure across the enterprise. As an NX Developer, you will develop customizations, automation, and administrative tooling for the Siemens NX CAD environment that enables Anduril's mechanical and electrical engineers to iterate rapidly on autonomous systems.
In this role, you will be responsible for making the NX environment faster, smarter, and more reliable by building custom automation, tooling, and integrations. You will write real code using NXOpen API, Python, and C++, own the full lifecycle of internal developer tools, and work directly with engineers who depend on them. This is product development for an internal user base building systems that matter, not IT support.
Key responsibilities include:
- 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 to finish business-critical projects
- Troubleshoot NX technical issues related to deployment, site configuration, toolkit distribution, and end-user support
Anduril values outcome-oriented thinking, customer focus, strong product sense, attention to detail, ownership, agility, first-principles thinking, and exceptional strategic problem-solving. The ideal candidate demonstrates user empathy, balances end-user experience with engineering constraints, and cares about delivering business value rather than just meeting specifications.
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, including classification, workflows, and naming rules
- Familiarity with NX Check-Mate for automated design validation and quality checks
- Experience with NX deployment and site-level configuration (ugii_env, custom directories, toolkit distribution)
- Knowledge of GRIP or KF (Knowledge Fusion) programming within NX
- Experience integrating CAD tools with downstream systems (PLM, ERP, MES, etc.)
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, resolve user issues, and work autonomously
