Mechanical Engineer - Lethality

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

The Lethality team designs, builds, tests, and fields mechanical warhead and ordnance systems that integrate directly with Anduril platforms.

The Lethality Team is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to help develop the next generation of warhead and ordnance systems.

Responsibilities

• Design new mechanical hardware from requirements and early concepts through detailed CAD, drawings, fabrication, assembly, and test.
• Turn engineering ideas into manufacturable products by making practical decisions around materials, tolerances, interfaces, manufacturing methods, cost, and assembly.
• Build, test, and improve your designs by working directly with manufacturing, technicians, analysis, and test teams to identify problems and drive the next iteration.
• Integrate your hardware into larger systems by partnering with vehicle, systems, safety, and other engineering teams to resolve interfaces and technical tradeoffs.
• Grow your technical ownership by progressing from defined components and workstreams toward increasingly independent subsystem design and decision-making.

Impact

• Deliver new lethality hardware that directly supports U.S. and allied warfighters.
• Take products from early concepts to physical hardware instead of maintaining legacy designs.
• Develop specialized expertise in warhead and ordnance engineering alongside experienced technical leaders.
• See the direct impact of your engineering decisions through manufacturing, integration, and live testing.

Required Qualifications

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 1 year of practical, end-to-end mechanical product design experience.
• Demonstrated experience taking a new mechanical product or design through multiple stages of development, such as concept, CAD, drawings, fabrication, assembly, testing, and iteration.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals, including materials, tolerances, interfaces, manufacturing processes, and design for manufacturability.
• Professional CAD experience creating mechanical parts, assemblies, and engineering drawings, with the ability to explain design decisions, tradeoffs, and how test or engineering data informed the design.
• Ability to work onsite in Costa Mesa, travel for testing as required, and obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
