Senior Mechanical Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p>Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.</p></div><h3>ABOUT THE TEAM </h3> <p>Anduril’s Tactical Recon Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment.</p> <h3>ABOUT THE JOB</h3> <p>This Senior Mechanical Engineer position is responsible for the physical design and sustainment of unmanned aircraft and related hardware systems. In this role you work closely and iteratively with an aircraft design to optimize system designs to maximize performance against desired performance metrics. This work may include composite fuselage or flight surface design, internal structural components, drivetrain systems, launch systems, or payloads. The Senior Mechanical Engineer is involved in all levels of product maturity, from initial concept, design, analysis, prototyping, flight testing, and manufacturing.</p> <h4>WHAT YOU’LL DO</h4> <ul> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">This position will involve contributing to and leading in a team environment on the design, analysis, fabrication, prototyping, and flight testing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and launch systems.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Individually perform, and coach others in all aspects of mechanical design</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Component and assembly-level design and prototyping</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">System and sub-system design, modeling, and prototyping</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Production drawings applying and interpreting Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT)</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Review and approve designs, analyses, and engineering drawings</li> </ul> <h4>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS</h4> <ul> <li>Minimum B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering</li> <li>8+ years relevant industry experience</li> <li class="p-rich_text_section">Experience performing in multiple aspects of the following:<br> <ul> <li class="p-rich_text_section">3D CAD design, solid and surface modeling</li> <li class="p-rich_text_section">Machine design fundamentals</li> <li class="p-rich_text_section">Structural analysis utilizing hand calculations and finite element models</li> <li class="p-rich_text_section">GDT per ASME standards</li> <li class="p-rich_text_section">Tolerance analysis</li> <li class="p- ...
