Senior Materials Data Architect - Design Allowables

Anduril; Costa Mesa (CA); In loco; USD 166.000 - 220.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Anduril Industries in California seeks a Senior Materials and Process Engineer to define design allowables and lead a data-driven materials program across an expansive defense portfolio.

You will establish standards for data capture, govern material qualification, and build scalable pipelines to support high-rate production while collaborating with design, analysis, and quality teams. A Top Secret clearance is required.

Competenze

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Metallurgy or a related field.
• 8+ years of materials and process engineering experience in aerospace, defense, or a comparably rigorous domain.
• Deep expertise in materials characterization and design allowables development, including statistical basis (e.g., MMPDS / CMH-17-style methods).
• Demonstrated experience turning test data into governed, analysis-ready datasets—data structure, statistics, and traceability (materials data management).
• Experience with material qualification and characterization: mechanical testing, and translating results into usable design values.
• Proven ability to set a technical standard and drive adoption across teams.
• Strong technical writing—your methodology and specifications are clear, unambiguous, and actionable.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

Mansioni

• Own the Design Allowables Standard. Define and own how test data becomes a defensible design value across Anduril’s business lines, including criteria, traceability, versioning, and controlled release.
• Build the Materials Data Pipeline. Architect and stand up a data pipeline that ingests, structures, governs, and releases materials data into our enterprise materials database.
• Turn Testing into a Strategic Workflow. Transform data management from ad hoc testing into a defined system for what gets tested and how results become usable allowables.
• Establish Fatigue and Fracture-Critical Methodology. Define and implement a standardized approach to fatigue-life assessment and damage tolerance for fracture-critical applications.
• Extract Value from Lifecycle Material Data. Create a digital thread of material traceability, enabling faster, data-driven decision making across supply chain.
• Serve as the Cross-Business-Line Technical Authority. Be the SME for materials allowables and data across the portfolio, aligning with design, analysis, test, and quality teams.
• Seed the Function. Set the technical standard for materials data and allowables at Anduril and build the supporting team.
