## Description

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

We are seeking a Liaison Engineer to support the Fury program, our cutting-edge autonomous aircraft.

**Job Summary** As a Liaison Engineer, you will serve as the on-site technical bridge between flight test operations, maintenance personnel, and design engineering. Your primary mission is to provide rapid, hands-on engineering resolution to unexpected technical issues, defects, or non-conformances that arise during ground and flight testing , keeping aircraft airworthy and on schedule without compromising safety or configuration integrity.

**Responsibilities**

- Serve as the primary engineering point of contact for the maintenance crew during ground and flight test operations.

- Interpret blueprints, 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical manuals to resolve discrepancies in real time.

- Evaluate defects and nonconformances found during inspection, maintenance, or test; issue engineering dispositions (use-as-is, repair, rework) within delegated authority.

- Participate in Material Review Board (MRB) discussions, assess structural/systems integrity impact, and drive the safest path to return-to-service.

- Create, authorize, and oversee redline drawing changes or field modifications needed to install test instrumentation or correct design errors in real time.

- Ensure all temporary repairs, modifications, and deviations comply with FAA regulations (including experimental airworthiness requirements), company engineering standards, and quality system requirements.

- Document every temporary redline, repair, and non-conformance so the aircraft's as-built configuration is accurately tracked, recorded, and updated across its lifetime in the program's PLM/MES/ERP systems.

**Requirements**

- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or a related Engineering discipline.

- 3+ years in aviation maintenance support, flight test support, or liaison/MRB engineering.

- Ability to read, interpret, and redline complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and electrical schematics; working knowledge of GD&T.

- Familiarity with aircraft structures (composite and/or metallic) and systems (mechanical, electrical, or avionics).

- Experience using 3D CAD software (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks) to view and query models.

- Experience with PLM, ERP, and/or MES systems for configuration and nonconformance tracking.

- Strong interpersonal and communication skills , able to work effectively with design engineers, shop-floor technicians, and leadership simultaneously.

- Bias for action, sound judgment under pressure and ambiguity, and genuine enjoyment of hands-on troubleshooting.

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Prior Material Review Board (MRB) delegation/authority.

- Experience supporting UAS / autonomous aircraft programs.

- Familiarity with flight test operations, test instrumentation/data acquisition, and flight line safety protocols.

- Working knowledge of FAA regulations and experimental airworthiness certification.

- Experience performing or reviewing minor structural repair analysis (stress/margin checks) for engineering dispositions.

**Work Environment & Physical Demands**

- 100% on-site at the Victorville Test Site.

- Comfortable working in a hangar environment and on active flight lines (noise, heat, high-desert weather exposure).

- Willing to support a dynamic schedule, including shifted hours or on-call coverage around test windows.

- Physically able to climb on, around, and inside aircraft to inspect components; comfortable working at height and in confined spaces with appropriate PPE.
