About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
  • Seven or more years of professional experience working as a Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineer.
  • Demonstrated experience taking a design from concept through multiple iterations into a manufactured product, including building and shipping hardware rather than analysis alone.
  • Capacity to work holistically on complex electromechanical systems across design, implementation, operation, and sustainment.
  • Capacity to learn and grow individually while building team cohesion and capacity.
  • Comfort working through ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving vehicle variants in a fast-moving environment.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Support the full product lifecycle from early prototype through rate production, including system requirements, initial design iterations, manufacturing, and delivery.
  • Drive design for manufacturing into decisions by developing low-cost, producible designs that can scale from prototype quantities to rate production.
  • Navigate a dynamic solutions trade space involving external constraints, evolving requirements, timeline considerations, and quality in a multi-stakeholder environment.
  • Contribute as a member of a multidisciplinary integrated product team, providing a new perspective to teammates from varied backgrounds and experiences.
  • Critically assess mechanical solutions for value to the end user, cost and ease of manufacture, time to deliver, reliability, reusability across product lines, and iterability.
  • Make practical engineering trade-offs, prioritizing judgment and momentum over excessive analysis.
  • Interact with end users to understand their needs and incorporate feedback into technical solutions.
  • Support integration and test activities.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in subsea, maritime, or autonomous underwater vehicle development.
  • Experience in aviation, robotics, or consumer-products hardware, especially translating those skills to undersea systems.
  • Experience with design and manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal, injection molding, composites, and/or additive manufacturing.
  • Exposure to design-for-manufacturing principles and rate production environments.

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.
