Production Mechanical Engineer, Space

Anduril's Space team is dedicated to expanding AI-powered capabilities into space, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners.

You'll own the production readiness of space hardware , taking maturing and flight-proven designs and driving them to repeatable, higher-rate manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Use first principles to simplify designs, reduce part count, and design for manufacturing, assembly, and test (DFM/DFA/DFT)
• Modify and mature existing designs to resolve production problems
• Update designs to reduce build and test cycle times, improve first-pass yield, and remove bottlenecks
• Own bills of material (BOMs) and engineering drawings
• Propagate engineering changes through assembly hierarchies
• Act as the Responsible Engineer for hardware in production
• Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, and test engineering to transition designs to higher-rate production
• Build and validate prototypes and production trial builds
• Travel to test sites, production facilities, and vendors as needed
• Create excellent technical documentation

Required Qualifications

• BS or higher degree in engineering or a hard science
• CAD skills and ability to make high-quality engineering drawings
• Experience taking hardware designs into manufacturing and production
• Working knowledge of BOM structures, revision control, and engineering change orders
• Demonstrated hands-on fabrication and assembly skills
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals
• Familiarity with tolerance analysis and inspection methods
• Excellent attention to detail
• Highly motivated, self-starting, and able to perform duties autonomously
• Passion for defending the United States and her allies
• Ability to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• 4+ years of mechanical design or production/sustaining engineering experience in a professional setting with space hardware
• Experience in NX/Teamcenter or equivalent CAD/PLM
• Experience with nonconformance disposition and Material Review Board
• Experience designing tooling, fixtures, and ground support equipment
• Ability to integrate electronic components into mechanical designs
• Experience developing code in higher-level languages
• Experience with statistical process control, tolerance stack-ups, or design of experiments
