About the Job

Requirements

  • A B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 4 years of experience in electronics packaging and/or electromechanical systems design in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics.
  • Direct experience designing hardware to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-464/461 environmental and EMI/EMC standards.
  • Proficiency with 3D computer-aided design (CAD), such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or CATIA, for complex modeling, enclosure packaging, and harness routing.
  • Understanding of advanced manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, injection molding, and 3D printing, with hands-on prototyping experience.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Design flight-critical enclosures, chassis, and mechanical packaging for high-density circuit card assemblies, battery systems, electro-optical payloads, and cable/harness assemblies.
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers to inform printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) layout, define connector configurations, manage keep-out zones, route harnesses, and establish thermal and grounding interfaces.
  • Create detailed 3D models, drawing packages, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and tolerance stack-up analyses to optimize designs for assembly, serviceability, and high-yield manufacturing.
  • Conduct hand calculations and structural finite element analysis (FEA), working with thermal and fatigue analysts to validate performance before committing to physical hardware.
  • Design hardware to survive aerospace environments and meet standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-464/461, and DO-160 for vibration, shock, thermal extremes, moisture, and EMI/EMC.
  • Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical, environmental, or manufacturing anomalies found during qualification or flight operations.
  • Support preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR/CDR) and drive execution of engineering deliverables across distributed, cross-functional teams including systems, hardware, software, manufacturing, test, and supply chain.

Desired Qualifications

  • Extensive experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
  • Familiarity with electronic CAD tools such as Altium and Cadence Allegro, and harness design software such as Siemens Capital and Zuken E3.
  • Practical understanding of bare-board printed circuit board manufacturing, high-density interconnect (HDI) stackups, and surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly standards such as IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001.
  • Advanced FEA and thermal simulation experience with tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Icepak, FloTHERM, or Ansys Sherlock.
  • Experience designing battery modules/packs or precision-aligned electro-optical/sensor payloads.
  • Active Top Secret Department of Defense clearance.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
