Flight-Critical Electromechanical Packaging Engineer

Telemetry Today LLC; Costa Mesa (CA); On-site; USD 129,000 - 171,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a hands-on Mechanical/Electromechanical engineer to design flight-critical enclosures, battery systems, and electro-optical payloads for high-performance aerospace platforms.

You will collaborate with electrical and systems teams, create detailed 3D models, and ensure packaging meets stringent environmental and EMI/EMC standards while optimizing for assembly and serviceability.

Qualifications

• B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience in electronics packaging and/or electromechanical systems design in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics.
• Direct experience designing hardware to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-464/461 environmental and EMI/EMC standards.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar) for complex surface modeling, enclosure packaging, and harness routing.
• Understanding of advanced manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, injection molding, and 3D printing, with hands-on prototyping experience.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills across multi-site, multi-disciplinary teams.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Design flight-critical enclosures, chassis, and mechanical packaging for high-density circuit card assemblies, battery systems, electro-optical payloads, and cable/harness assemblies.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to inform PCBA layout, define connector configurations, manage keep-out zones, route harnesses, and establish thermal and grounding interfaces.
• Create detailed 3D models, drawing packages, and GD&T and tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure designs are optimized for assembly, serviceability, and high-yield manufacturing.
• Conduct hand calculations and structural FEA, working with thermal and fatigue analysts to validate performance before committing to physical hardware.
• Design hardware to survive aerospace environments—vibration, shock, thermal extremes, moisture, and EMI/EMC—meeting standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-464/461, and DO-160.
• Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical, environmental, or manufacturing anomalies found during qualification or flight operations.
• Support design reviews (PDR/CDR) and drive execution of engineering deliverables across distributed, cross-functional teams including systems, hardware, software, manufacturing, test, and supply chain.
