ABOUT THE JOB

At Anduril, our Mechanical Engineers, Subsystem Integration and Test Engineers are at the forefront of defense technology, meticulously crafting high-impact, cutting-edge validated physical systems that redefine innovation. You'll dive into a diverse range of projects, partnering with brilliant minds across disciplines to engineer robust mechanical integration processes and comprehensive test methodologies that empower our mission-critical operations. We're seeking talented Mechanical Engineers with specialized expertise in the assembly, verification, and qualification of complex electromechanical systems to contribute to projects that are shaping the future of defense.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead Mechanical Design, Integration & Assembly: Oversee and execute the design and physical integration of complex mechanical subsystems, electromechanical assemblies, and components into larger system architectures, ensuring proper fit, alignment, and functionality.
• Design & Execute Test Campaigns: Develop detailed mechanical test plans, procedures, and custom fixtures for functional, performance, environmental (e.g., thermal, vibration, shock), and qualification testing, then conduct these tests and collect critical data.
• Analyze Data & Troubleshoot Issues: Analyze test data to identify anomalies, perform root cause analysis for mechanical failures or performance deviations, and work collaboratively with design engineers to implement effective solutions.
• Cross-Functional Verification: Collaborate intensely with Electrical, Systems, Software, and Manufacturing teams to define interfaces, verify system-level performance, ensure testability, and provide critical feedback for design improvements.
• Document & Refine Processes: Generate comprehensive test reports, assembly instructions, and engineering change requests; continuously refine integration and test methodologies to enhance efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability (DFA).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Educational Foundation & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, coupled with 10+ years of direct, hands-on experience in mechanical integration, assembly, and testing of complex hardware systems.
• Hands-on Testing & Lab Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to set up, operate, and collect data from various mechanical test equipment (e.g., shakers, thermal chambers, data acquisition systems, load cells, accelerometers) and perform precise measurements.
• Problem-Solving & Root Cause Analysis: Proven ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical and electromechanical issues, conduct thorough root cause analysis, and drive effective solutions in a fast-paced environment.
• Technical Documentation & CAD Familiarity: Experience creating detailed assembly instructions, test procedures, and comprehensive reports, along with familiarity reading and interpreting mechanical drawings and CAD models.
• Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills and a track record of successfully collaborating with diverse engineering teams (design, electrical, software, systems) to achieve integrated system validation.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
