Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The Structural Analysis Team ensures product integrity and performance across the company's portfolio, providing cross-product support for emerging innovations and establishing benchmarks for analysis excellence.
You will perform static and dynamic structural analyses across sea, ground, air, and space domains using first principles and appropriate analysis methods including hand calculations, spreadsheets, scripts, and detailed finite element analysis (FEA). You will develop and own finite element model (FEM) creation and organization at both global and subsystem levels, collaborating with hardware engineers to drive proper designs based on analytical results.
Key responsibilities include conducting and supporting validation testing with instrumentation setup, data collection, and model correlation; documenting analysis methodology and results in technical reports for internal teams and external stakeholders; ensuring designs meet customer requirements, industry standards, and safety regulations; and staying current with advancements in analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards.
This is a senior individual contributor role with high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes. You will work autonomously on complex engineering challenges, establishing scope and requirements for ill-defined problems, and leveraging deep expertise in static and dynamic analysis, physical testing, data collection, and signal processing.
**REQUIREMENTS:**
- BS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus in structures
- 12+ years of experience in structures, dynamics, or loads-related role with high ownership and accountability for hardware outcomes
- Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and materials properties
- Proficiency in FEA software (NASTRAN/Abaqus preferred) for linear and non-linear static, dynamic, and buckling analyses
- Experience with CAD tools (NX, Solidworks)
- Proficiency in Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models, data acquisition, and automation
- Highly motivated, self-starting, able to perform duties autonomously without supervision
- Very organized and able to establish scope and requirements for ill-defined problems
**PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:**
- MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus in structures
- Ability to obtain/maintain U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- Ability to develop workflow automation tools
