Senior Structural Analyst

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

At Anduril Maritime we are developing unmanned systems for subsurface and other domains that will leverage unsupervised autonomy for the delivery of multi-mission capability to our customers. These projects, including but not limited to the DIVE-LD platform, 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

• Perform hand calculations and spreadsheet first order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed design or analysis. Use first principles as a basis for every decision
• Communicate pros/cons of system architecture with respect to structural considerations. Strong focus on good architecture to ensure designs are robust in nature
• Work with aero/CFD engineers and others to define loads for vehicle structure and subsystems
• Generate and maintain integrated FEMs for maritime platforms. Astutely pace model maturity based on state of hardware design and program goals
• Support design development and verification analysis to meet customer requirements
• Develop internal tools and reports for communicating loads and analysis results across teams
• Present status at formal reviews with Customer and internally. Technical status, risk tracking, inputs to program planning, etc.
• Interview other team members as projects grow in scope and complexity. Attract strong technical talent
• Create test models, define test loads, requirements and margins, and oversee structural testing
• Own the design, analysis, and testing processes of mechanical and structural components that are deployed to customers, focused on the delivery of value to the end-user
