ABOUT THE ROLE

Anduril’s Space Manufacturing team is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer for Structures and Mechanical Integration to join our team. Your expertise will help ensure that our products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability at Anduril.

As the Manufacturing Engineer for Structures and Mechanical Integration, you will bring deep mechanical and structural engineering experience to the design of the tooling and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) our structures and vehicle lines depend on — lifting and handling fixtures, rotation and integration stands, and transport fixtures — while developing and executing the mechanical integration processes that build our spacecraft. You will work hands-on with technicians on the floor.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on mechanical/structural manufacturing engineer who has designed MGSE and tooling for flight or comparably high-consequence hardware, and who has taken vehicle-level or major-assembly integration from development into production in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design and develop mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) and tooling — lifting and handling fixtures, rotation and integration stands, transport and shipping fixtures — that the structures and vehicle integration lines depend on.
• Perform load-path and structural-margin checks on MGSE and tooling, defining factors of safety and coordinating proof-load and qualification testing before equipment is released for use on flight hardware.
• Develop and qualify mechanical/structural integration processes — precision fastening and torque control, bonded and shimmed joints, mechanism and module installation, and alignment to metrology-defined datums.
• Author and maintain work instructions, travelers, and as-built records for the structural and mechanical build.
• Drive Design for Manufacturability and Assembly into structural and vehicle-level designs before CDR — access, fastener reach, tool clearance, and integration order.
• Own cleanroom manufacturing practice on your line — contamination control, FOD prevention, gowning and material flow across ISO 7 and ISO 5 environments.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for nonconformances; support PFMEA, process val
