At Anduril Australia we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface and other domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of long endurance, multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects, including but not limited to the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) Program, require Mechanical Engineers with broad experience to drive the delivery a variety of software enabled hardware capabilities to our customers. Anduril Mechanical Engineers rapidly develop expertise in new domains in order to architect, design, deliver, support, and evolve next generation capabilities through the entire product life-cycle.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Support plans and specifications for new designs, or derivatives of the Anduril Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (XL-AUVs).
• Create detailed mechanical designs, prototypes and build of complex structures and mechanisms.
• Simulation and analysis of mechanical designs including modal/spectral response analysis.
• Ensure all designs meet internal and external maritime standards.
• Inspecting parts, sub-systems and vehicles to meet design specifications and regulations.
• Design and implement integrated systems, including advanced and sensitive platforms and payloads, that rapidly delivers capability beyond the scope of current systems, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time.
• Empathise with end-users and drive solutions that balance their needs with external constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment.
• Contribute to the design and development of technology components across Anduril, with the aim of developing components that are re-usable across multiple Anduril product lines.
• Contribute to the design, implementation and execution of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of structural hardware, including full lifecycle testing, monitoring and operation.
• Support vehicle and payload manufacturing, testing and deployment. Including DVT (Design Validation Testing) of parts and sub systems.
• Travel to co-locate with end-users, vendors, or the integration and test team up to 20% of the time.
• Work as a supportive member of a multi-disciplinary engineering team from differing backgrounds.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Naval Architecture, a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
• Professional experience working as a Mechanical Engineer or similar role.
• Capacity to work holistically on complex mechanical systems and structures across design, implementation, operation and sustainment.
• Capacity to learn and grow individually while being part of a dynamic team, building cohesion and capacity.
• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government Security Clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• Experience with the design, analysis, testing, implementation and support of mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Experience working within the maritime defence domains or similar industry e.g. Aerospace or Automotive.
• Experience with NX, FEMAP and Teamcenter or similar CAD, FEA and PLM systems.
• Experience developing Finite Element Method (FEM) models for the purposes of part stress and strain evaluation, and modal analysis.
• Experience with welding, machining, sheet metal, injection molding, composites and/or additive manufacturing.
• Experience within the product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing, system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment.
