About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 5 years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, including direct experience dispositioning non-conformances through MRB, liaison, or stress engineering.
  • Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures.
  • Proficiency with finite element analysis tools such as NASTRAN or equivalent, and classical hand-calculation methods.
  • Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for metallic and composite aircraft structures.
  • Strong written communication skills to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure.
  • Ability to work with autonomy and adapt in a fast-paced environment.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the engineering authority dispositioning Material Review Board non-conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles.
  • Perform structural substantiation analysis, including static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling, using first-principle hand calculations and finite element methods to support use-as-is, repair, and scrap dispositions.
  • Write clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements.
  • Develop and continuously improve MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions to scale the process as production rates increase.
  • Monitor trends in recurring non-conformances and drive root cause and corrective action efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes.
  • Coordinate with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and Materials & Processes to resolve non-conformances quickly without compromising structural integrity.
  • Conduct trade studies to evaluate repair versus rework versus scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance.
  • Provide on-the-floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior MRB signature or delegated authority on a production aerospace program.
  • Experience with high-rate or rapidly scaling production environments.
  • Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards such as MIL-HDBK-5 and MIL-STD-1530.
  • Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair.
  • Proficiency with CATIA or Siemens NX.
  • Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment.
  • Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs.

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.
