MRB Mechanical Engineering Manager, Fury

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Air Dominance and Strike MRB Mechanical Engineering Team supports the production, sustainment, and airworthiness of Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a team of mechanical sustainment engineers responsible for evaluating nonconforming mechanical hardware and determining engineering dispositions on fielded and in-production Group 5 air vehicles
• Hire, mentor, and develop engineers on the team, including establishing a path to MRB signature/delegated authority for team members
• Set technical standards and review complex or high-risk dispositions and repairs, acting as an escalation point for the most difficult nonconformances on mechanical subsystems, actuation, and structural-mechanical interfaces
• Own team workload and prioritization, ensuring dispositions and repairs are generated accurately and on schedule to keep production flowing
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Design Engineering, and Supply Chain leadership to resolve cross-functional blockers and align on priorities
• Drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) programs across the team to reduce recurring nonconformances and production escapes
• Build and continuously improve MRB processes, tools, and standard work for mechanical hardware as production rates increase
• Report on team throughput, nonconformance trends, and open risk to engineering and program leadership
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers on MRB discipline, mechanical fundamentals, and cross-functional coordination
• Travel to vendor, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly

Required Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including direct experience evaluating nonconformances and dispositioning hardware in a production, depot, or maintenance environment
• 2+ years of experience leading or managing engineers, either as a people manager or in a senior technical leadership capacity
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools (CATIA, Siemens NX, Creo, or SolidWorks) and strong command of GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
• Ability to perform and review structural and mechanical analysis (stress, deflection, fatigue) using hand calculations and FEA tools (ANSYS, NASTRAN, or equivalent)
• Demonstrated ability to set technical standards and review others' work across a team of engineers
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills , able to represent the team to Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and senior engineering leadership
• Self-driven with strong autonomy and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior MRB signature/delegated authority on a production aerospace program
• Experience standing up or scaling an MRB function in a high-rate or rapidly scaling production environment
• Experience with Siemens NX/Teamcenter or other PLM systems
• Familiarity with military airworthiness and certification processes (Military Commercial Derivative Aircraft certification, FAA STC, Military Airworthiness Certification)
• Experience with FMEA and other risk assessment methodologies
• Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing, depot repair, or sustainment environment
• Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs
