Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join the Warfighter Systems team in Costa Mesa, California. You will design and develop an advanced augmented reality vision system for military personnel, combining multispectral sensors, compute, thermal management, and ballistic protection into a wearable platform.
In this role, you will lead mechanical design efforts with significant autonomy, balancing stringent SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power, Cost) requirements with human factors and soldier comfort. You'll work across the full product lifecycle from concept through production, managing complex assemblies and producing high-quality engineering documentation.
Key responsibilities include:
- Detailed mechanical design for traditional and additive manufacturing using metallics and composites
- Ergonomic and human factors analysis to ensure wearable devices are effective for prolonged tactical use
- Structural and thermal analysis to inform trade studies and concept designs
- Manufacturing process optimization including molding, laminating, and machining techniques
- Thermal and environmental considerations for performance in demanding conditions
- CAD modeling and management of complex assemblies
You bring 5+ years of post-graduate mechanical engineering experience with strong CAD proficiency (any platform). You have demonstrated expertise in military specifications, wearable systems design, and the ability to prototype and evaluate solutions rapidly. Experience with NX/Teamcenter, FEA, rapid prototyping, consumer electronics packaging, and military qualification programs (MIL-STD) is highly valued.
U.S. Security Clearance eligibility is required. This is a full-time position offering competitive salary, equity grants, and comprehensive benefits.
