## Description

Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements, shape their concepts of operation, and deliver exquisite capability across their problem set. We aim to develop and deploy critically needed capabilities that address our customers’ most pressing national security requirements.

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical systems and components for cutting-edge defense technologies. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical and software engineers, to ensure seamless integration of systems. This role involves hands-on prototyping, CAD modeling, thermal and structural analysis, and supporting the manufacturing process to deliver mission-critical solutions.

Responsibilities:

- Serve as the primary engineering point of contact on the production line, working autonomously alongside manufacturing engineers, reliability engineers, and quality assurance.

- Lead and support Material Review Board (MRB) activities, including dispositioning nonconforming hardware with clear engineering justification.

- Drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) investigations on production issues and see them through to closure.

- Design, fabricate, and validate tooling, fixtures, and inspection gauges to improve quality, repeatability, and throughput.

- Convey design intent to manufacturing and quality teams through clear communication, marked-up drawings, and hands-on support.

- Use first principles, tolerance analysis, and test data as the basis for every disposition and design decision.

- Identify and implement design and process improvements through ECNs, deviations, and DFM/DFA feedback.

- Interface with vendors to resolve supplier quality issues and support First Article Inspections.

Required Qualifications:

- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

- 4+ years of Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Production Support Engineering experience in a professional setting.

- BS, M.Eng, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.

- Experience with MRB processes, nonconformance reporting, and engineering disposition.

- Experience designing and building tooling and fixtures.

- Demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills.

- CAD skills (any platform) and ability to create and interpret engineering drawings that meet common industry standards.

- Strong communication skills and ability to make sound, independent decisions in a fast-paced production environment.

- High competence with, and fluid use of, engineering first principles.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in Siemens NX and Teamcenter.

- Experience with PCBA handling and integration.

- Experience with designing hardware with EMI constraints.

- Experience creating and maintaining PFMEAs and DFMEAs.

- Experience working closely with electrical engineers, design engineers, quality engineers, technicians, and suppliers.

- Demonstrated use of structured root cause methodologies.

- Working knowledge of common manufacturing processes.

- Proficiency with metrology tools and interpretation of CMM inspection reports.

Benefits: At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
