About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, User Experience Design, or a related field is required.
  • At least 5 years of experience in a hardware design engineering environment, including familiarity with computer-aided design (CAD), product lifecycle management (PLM), and product data management (PDM) systems and their interfaces with one another and downstream operations.
  • High user empathy and the ability to manage and communicate with stakeholders.
  • Ability to quickly understand current design engineering workflows and potential issues across the product development lifecycle, and to speak the language of the field.
  • Strength working with hardware engineering leadership to conceptualize solutions and gain and understand requirements.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex information understandably.
  • Ability to work collaboratively and lead cross-functional projects.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced hardware development environment.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

Responsibilities

  • Work with hardware engineering and software leadership to develop and implement design engineering software strategies that enhance productivity, reduce cycle times, and improve design quality.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align the design engineering tools roadmap with overall business objectives.
  • Monitor industry trends and best practices to keep hardware design processes current.
  • Drive adoption of CAD, PLM, PDM, and related engineering software solutions across the company, and own the feedback loop between users and developers.
  • Partner with design engineers to understand workflow pain points and translate them into actionable improvements in tools, templates, and automation.
  • Define and enforce CAD/PLM standards, data governance, and best practices across hardware engineering teams.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of design engineering software standard instructions and best practices.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience administering or architecting enterprise CAD and PLM platforms such as Teamcenter, NX, Enovia, or 3DEXPERIENCE.
  • Programming or scripting experience with Python, C#, VBA, or CAD/PLM-specific application programming interfaces to build custom automations and integrations.
  • Experience deploying or scaling engineering tools across multi-site or rapidly growing organizations.
  • Familiarity with Model-Based Definition (MBD), configuration management, and engineering change processes.
  • Prior experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or other regulated hardware industries.
  • Exposure to integrations between design engineering tools and downstream manufacturing execution system (MES) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

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.
