## Description

Job Title: Senior Air Vehicle Configuration Engineer, Omen

We are seeking a Senior Air Vehicle Configuration Engineer to join the Omen Team at our Costa Mesa HQ. Omen is Anduril's hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle (AAV) that packs the endurance, payload, and mission flexibility of much larger airplanes into a novel runway-independent Group 3 platform.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

You will work on new aircraft development in a lean, high-ownership culture where you directly shape the product and operate at a velocity to fly new designs within months, not years.

Responsibilities:

- Develop and optimize air vehicle configurations from concept to execution.

- Ensure design consistency and proper integration across subsystems.

- Utilize simulation and analytical tools to assess configuration performance, aerodynamics, and structural integrity.

- Provide data-driven insights to inform design decisions.

- Work with systems engineers, aerodynamicists, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of vehicle components.

- Participate in design reviews and contribute to iterative improvement processes.

- Stay abreast of emerging technologies and innovations in air vehicle configurations.

- Propose creative solutions to enhance vehicle performance and operational capability.

Required Qualifications:

- High-ownership and a bias toward action – if you see a problem, you want to fix it.

- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineer, Robotics, Physics, or related technical discipline.

- 5+ years of experience in aircraft configuration or related aerospace design roles.

- Strong understanding of aerospace principles, vehicle dynamics, and system integration.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Proven track record leading aircraft configurations from early development through flight test and production.

- Experience with aircraft conceptual design tools.

- Experience with Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Design Build Fly, or similar competitive engineering programs demonstrating hands-on vehicle integration experience.

Salary Range: $129,000-$171,000 USD
