Job summary

Anduril Industries in Costa Mesa, CA is seeking an exceptional Electromechanical Design Engineer to design, test, and scale mission-critical hardware across autonomous air, sea, ground, and strike platforms.

You’ll own enclosures, sensor integration, and electromechanical assemblies from concept through prototyping and volume production; create high‑fidelity 3D models and drawings; apply first‑principles engineering, FEA, and tolerance analysis; collaborate with cross‑functional teams to de-risk

Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing or related field.
• 4+ years of professional mechanical design experience taking hardware from concept through fabrication and test.
• Proficiency in parametric 3D CAD (NX preferred, SolidWorks or Creo) and PLM environments (Teamcenter).
• Working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Hands-on prototyping and fabrication experience with root-cause analysis.
• Experience designing DFMA for future volume production in regulated environments.
• Design experience for tightly integrated electromechanical systems (PCBA, thermal management, shielding, harness routing).
• Eligible for U.S. Security Clearance (DoD Secret/Top Secret/DOE Q).
• Up to 15% travel.

Responsibilities

• Own enclosures, sensor integration, and electromechanical assemblies from requirements through prototyping and volume manufacturing.
• Create high-fidelity 3D models and defined 2D drawing packages.
• Design parts across molding, CNC machining, weldments, sheet metal, composites, and bonding.
• Apply first-principles engineering and FEA/hand calculations to validate performance.
• Perform tolerance stacks, DFMEAs, and early risk assessments.
• Build prototypes, write test plans, and run environmental and functional tests.
• Collaborate with electrical, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to solve hardware bottlenecks.
