Mechanical Engineer, Manufacturing Test (Intelligence Systems)

As a Mechanical Engineer in the Manufacturing organization, you will design complex mechanical assemblies for PCBA and product level test systems. You will be designing fixtures with tight tolerances and pneumatic / manually actuated assemblies. You will need experience with surfaces to mate supports, jigs, and clamps to our shipping products. You will steer product design teams through your expertise of DFM / DFT, and enable complex analysis with FEA tools.

This role will be based temporarily at Santa Ana, CA for a 3-month training period before transitioning to Asheville, OH.

Key responsibilities include:

• Building things that test things. Design mechanical assemblies using professional CAD design tools.
• Working with rapid fabrication teams or 3rd party suppliers to source equipment.
• Integrating your designs into Anduril's PDM systems. You will follow the same process for component design and release that our product design teams use.
• Working with design teams to integrate mechanical DFM / DFT requirements into our products.
• Developing complex electromechanical systems within a multidisciplinary group. You will work directly with software and electrical engineers, solving problems to manufacture and test products in land, sea.
• Generating test work instructions that can be easily followed by technician teams in MES. Training technicians on equipment use as required.
• Determining root cause of product failures and recommending appropriate corrective actions (RCCA).
• Analyzing test data, documenting results, and providing detailed reports to identify defects and areas for improvement.
• Collaborating with design engineers to provide feedback and recommendations for product enhancements based on test outcomes.

Required qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience with emphasis on product designs that have gone to manufacturing.
• Expert capability with (at least one) Mechanical Design package(s).
• Experience with contract manufacturers, in-house fabrication, and prototyping process.
• Familiarity with electronics test equipment such as load cells, strain gauges, multimeters, etc.
• Strong root cause analysis skills of non-conforming hardware.
• Excellent written, verbal, interpersonal and communication skills.
• Familiar with Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems.
• Experience working on projects that involve the integration of electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred qualifications include:

• 8+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Pursuing a Master's of Science in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
• Familiarity with NX and Solidworks CAD design packages.
• Experience with PCBA test fixturing design.
• Experience working alongside Industrial Design or Product Design teams (surfacing, ergonomics, etc.).
• Experience with mechanical systems related test (Thermal, Vibration, etc.).
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
