Job description

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance and Strike Aerostructures Engineering Team is responsible for designing and analyzing advanced structural parts for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. Air Dominance and Strike Structures Engineers own the full development lifecycle, from conceptual to detailed design and analysis of primary and secondary structures, ensuring high‑performance, resilient, and scalable mechanical systems that meet the demands of complex, contested environments.
WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Serve as the engineering authority dispositioning Material Review Board (MRB) non‑conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles
• Perform structural substantiation analysis — static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling — using first‑principle hand calculations and finite element methods to support use‑as‑is, repair, and scrap dispositions
• Write clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements
• Develop and continuously improve MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions to scale the process as production rates increase
• Monitor trends in recurring non‑conformances and drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes (M&P)
• Coordinate directly with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and M&P to resolve non‑conformances quickly without compromising structural integrity
• Conduct trade studies to evaluate repair versus rework versus scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance
• Provide on‑the‑floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, with direct experience dispositioning non‑conformances (MRB, liaison, or stress engineering)
• Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures
• Proficiency with finite element analysis tools (NASTRAN or equivalent) and classical hand‑calculation methods
• Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for both metallic and composite aircraft structures
• Excellent written communication skills — able to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure
• Self‑driven with strong autonomy and adaptability in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior MRB signature/delegated authority on a production aerospace program
• Experience with high‑rate or rapidly scaling production environments
• Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards (e.g., MIL‑HDBK‑5, MIL‑STD‑1530)
• Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair
• CATIA or Siemens NX proficiency
• Hands‑on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment
• Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs
