Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to own the production-mechanical definition and oversee changes from the initial shipping configuration. You will lead RCA/PCA, design new components, and manage BOMs and drawings in a PLM system while partnering with design, manufacturing, and field teams.

The role emphasizes on-site work at our Costa Mesa headquarters, collaboration across disciplines, and involvement in field deployments and continuous improvement efforts.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience.
  • A track record of owning designs on a team (professional or otherwise).
  • Real experience managing a BOM and drawings in a PLM tool.
  • Strong CAD skills and the ability to produce high-quality engineering drawings and documentation.
  • Fluency with engineering first principles.
  • Experience with root cause analysis (RCA) and permanent corrective action (PCA) for quality improvement.
  • U.S. Person status, since this role requires access to export-controlled data.
  • Excitement to work onsite at our headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA the majority of the time!

Responsibilities

  • Own the mechanical definition of one or more production products, from the as-shipped configuration through every change that comes after.
  • Investigate and resolve quality problems using root cause analysis (RCA) and permanent corrective action (PCA), and make sure the fixes stick.
  • Design new components and revise existing ones as the products evolve.
  • Feed design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) lessons back into the design to make our production lines faster and more reliable.
  • Own the engineering documentation and manage the bill of materials for the final shipped product.
  • Serve as the mechanical authority for configuration and change management across every variant.
  • Support qualification campaigns that prove the products hold up in real conditions.
  • Work day to day with designers, manufacturing engineers, and production partners.
  • Travel to exercises to support the products in the field and bring back feedback from the people using them.
