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

As a Staff CAD Platform Engineer (NX / Teamcenter), you will be instrumental in establishing, maintaining, and optimizing the Siemens NX CAD environment that powers our engineering and manufacturing teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, monitor, and optimize the Siemens NX CAD environment, including templates, customization files, role-based configurations, and default settings across the organization.
• Administer and support NX installations, license servers, and integration with Teamcenter PLM; manage version upgrades, patches, and deployments to minimize disruption to engineering workflows.
• Configure and maintain standardized part families, product configurators, drawing templates, and reusable component libraries to enforce design consistency and best practices.
• Lead root cause investigations for recurring CAD/PLM issues; define, implement, and verify corrective and preventative actions and document findings to prevent recurrence.
• Develop and maintain automation tools, scripts, and customizations using NXOpen API, Knowledge Fusion, and related frameworks to streamline repetitive design and data management tasks.
• Establish, document, and enforce organization-wide standards for CAD modeling and PLM data entry to ensure data consistency and integrity.
• Provide technical leadership and structured training to engineering and design teams; mentor less experienced users and serve as the primary point of escalation for NX-related issues.
• Coordinate configuration and improvement projects with engineering, manufacturing, IT, quality, and Siemens/external service providers; act as the technical point of contact for significant CAD/PLM issues.
• Lead or champion reliability, capability, and continuous improvement projects related to the CAD/PLM environment; quantify benefits, document outcomes, and implement sustainable improvements.
• Ensure CAD configuration activities comply with site security, quality, and regulatory standards; assess and mitigate operational and data-security risks related to the engineering toolset.
